Questions People Actually Ask Us

So what is this site?

Online Casino Bonus is a research tool for Canadian players. We dig through the fine print of casino promotions so you can make faster, smarter decisions about where to play.

Who runs it?

A small team of bonus obsessives. Between us, we have claimed hundreds of casino promotions, read thousands of pages of terms and conditions, and developed an unhealthy interest in wagering requirement mathematics. Some of us came from the casino industry. All of us play.

Why should I trust your reviews?

Fair question. Three reasons:

  1. We show our work. When we say a bonus has poor value, we explain exactly why with numbers.
  2. We get it wrong sometimes. And when readers point out errors, we fix them publicly. Perfection is not the goal - honesty is.
  3. Our income depends on trust. If we recommended garbage casinos, you would leave and never come back. Our business model requires us to be useful.

How do you make money?

Affiliate commissions. When you click through to a casino and sign up, we might earn a referral fee. This costs you nothing - your bonuses stay the same.

Does this create bias? Potentially. We manage it by focusing on player value rather than commission rates. We have walked away from lucrative deals with casinos that did not meet our standards.

What makes a bonus "good" in your view?

Realistic completion. A CAD 100 bonus with 30x wagering beats a CAD 500 bonus with 70x wagering almost every time. We calculate expected value, not headline value.

Do you ever recommend not taking a bonus?

Frequently. Some players are better off depositing without a bonus to avoid wagering restrictions. We will tell you when that is the case.

What about responsible gambling?

Bonuses are entertainment enhancers, not income strategies. If gambling feels like anything other than fun, step back. ConnexOntario offers 24/7 support at 1-866-531-2600.

Can I suggest a casino for review?

Absolutely. Hit the contact page. We review suggestions when time permits, prioritizing casinos that serve Canadian players well.
