Casinova review: a PAGCOR-licensed casino with Interac and 59 studios

Casinova at a glance

Casinova has traded since 2020, which makes it established rather than new. It takes sign-ups from Canada; Ontario residents are excluded from the offer.

Playing from Canada

If you live in Ontario, this casino and its offer are not for you. Ontario has run its own regulated market since 4 April 2022, where casinos register with the AGCO and contract with iGaming Ontario, and offshore offers are excluded there.

In Alberta, a regulated market opened under the AGLC on 13 July 2026, and unregistered operators had until 13 October 2026 to register or leave, so check that the casino still accepts Alberta addresses.

In the other provinces, the provincial lottery corporation runs the only authorized online casino, and offshore brands such as this one operate outside that system. You can still sign up, but provincial player protections and complaint routes do not cover the account.

You must be of legal age in your province: 19 in most provinces, 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. Casino wins are generally not taxed for recreational players in Canada.

Licence and safety

It holds a licence from PAGCOR.

PAGCOR is the Philippine state regulator. Its offshore licences are aimed at foreign markets, and a Canadian player has little practical recourse through it.

Check the licence yourself: the casino's footer should show the licence number, which you can look up on the regulator's own site. The domain on the register should match the one you play on.

Set a deposit limit in your account before your first deposit. Our page on responsible gaming explains the other tools, including time-outs and self-exclusion.

Games and studios

Studios on file include Evolution, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Play'n GO and Hacksaw Gaming, out of 59 studios in total. Evolution supplies live tables, so live blackjack, roulette and game shows should be in the lobby.

The lobby also lists crash games, which settle in seconds and can drain a balance quickly.

Many slots exist in several RTP versions, and the casino chooses which to run. Open the game's information screen and check the figure before you play.

Deposits and withdrawals in Canada

The account can run in Canadian dollars. Deposit options that work from Canada include Interac, MuchBetter, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa and Mastercard.

Interac is on the deposit list. No withdrawal methods are on file, so ask support in writing which methods pay out to a Canadian account before you deposit.

How to withdraw from Casinova

1. Upload your ID and proof of address soon after you register, so the first payout is not held up.
2. Open the cashier, choose Withdraw and, where you can, pick the method you deposited with.
3. Make sure no bonus still has wagering left, or the request can be refused.
4. Start with a small amount and note how long it takes to reach you.

Why new casinos ask for documents, and which ones, is covered in our guide to ID checks at new casinos.

Welcome offer and terms

The current offer is shown at the top of this page as the casino states it. It is not available in Ontario. Offshore casinos set their own wagering, so the terms decide what it is worth.

• Find the wagering multiple and whether it applies to the bonus or to bonus plus deposit.
• Note the time limit and the maximum bet while the bonus is active.
• Check whether your payment method is excluded from the offer; e-wallets often are.
• Large packages are split over several deposits. Claim only the stages you would have deposited anyway.

Our guide on how to find and claim bonuses works through the maths, and the terms and conditions overview lists the clauses that matter.

Our verdict

Good on deposits and game choice. No withdrawal methods are on file, and a Philippine licence gives Canadian players little practical recourse, so test a payout before you commit a larger balance.
