In short
-
New
Our new-casino lists focus on casinos that state a founding year in the last three years; older brands appear in reviews but not in those lists.
-
Inputs
Licence, terms, welcome offer, games and studios, payment methods such as Interac, and country access.
-
Canada
Casinos that block Canadian players are not ranked for Canada.
-
Updates
We re-check a casino when its licence, terms, payments or offer change.
So what
What it means for you
-
First place is a comparison
A top position means a casino compares well on our inputs today. It is not a guarantee that it will pay out.
-
Ontario is different
Offshore casinos and their offers are not available in Ontario. Players there should use AGCO-registered sites only.
-
Check before you deposit
Use the six new-brand checks on each review, starting with the licence register.

The order of casinos on NewCasinoRank comes from a ranking system we use across the CasinoRank network. It applies the same rules to every casino, using the inputs from our reviews, so positions are comparable. Our review process explains how those inputs are gathered.
Which casinos count as new
A casino counts as new when the founding year it states is this year or one of the two before. Each review shows the founding year and the date the casino joined our list, so you can see its age at a glance.
What we compare
- Licence: who issued it and whether it can be checked on a public register.
- Terms: withdrawal limits, pending times, bonus wagering and maximum bets.
- Welcome offer: what it is worth once wagering is applied.
- Games and studios: the size and quality of the library.
- Payments: Canadian methods such as Interac and iDebit, Canadian dollar balances and payout routes.
- Country access: whether the casino accepts players from Canada.
No single input decides a position; the system weighs them together.
When we re-check a casino
- A licence is suspended, expires or changes.
- Terms change, especially withdrawal limits or bonus rules.
- Payment methods are added or removed.
- Credible reports of unpaid withdrawals or unfair treatment.
Casinos that are suspended or closed are removed from our lists automatically.
How commission fits in
We earn a commission when you sign up through some of our links. Commission is not an input to the ranking, and no casino can pay to change its position or a review's checks. See about NewCasinoRank for how the site is funded.
Questions about our rankings
Which casinos appear in your new-casino rankings?
Casinos that state a founding year in the last three years and accept players from Canada.
Why might a casino be missing for Canada?
It blocks Canadian players, it is too old for the new-casino list, or it is suspended or closed.
Can a casino pay to rank higher?
No. Commission is not an input, and positions come from the same rules for every casino.
Are offshore casinos legal in Canada?
Only provinces may run or license online casinos under the Criminal Code. Ontario and Alberta license private operators; elsewhere offshore casinos operate outside the provincial systems. In Ontario, use AGCO-registered sites only.
How often do rankings change?
Whenever a casino's inputs change, and when new casinos are added.
