Deposit Genius

Here’s a great starting point: Depositor’s Directory for Deposit Genius Payments

We invite you to explore these topics on our website, where we offer an immense collection of articles on ‘debit card casinos’ and every that phrase entails. These articles aren’t cookie cutters. All of the information on this page comes from experience and careful research.

For the most useful information on debit card casinos and deposits, you can begin with the link above.

We also suggest navigating the Main Menu on our Home Page (under the heading “Choose where to start”). Here, we provide links to specific topics that delve much deeper into things like casino games, guides and reviews, as well as alternative payment options for those who can’t (or prefer not to) use a debit card.

Our team has the advantage of being active members of Canada’s iGaming community. This alone gives us access to a lot of information as it’s happening. Thus, much of our expertise and knowledge comes naturally.

We also make a concerted effort to stay up to date through periodic research of relevant topics, such as domestic and international regulation, operator participation, new game releases and more. We update our pages as often as possible, but only with verifiable information from reliable sources.

Please visit our Directory where you’ll learn more about some of our favorite data sources.

1. You can use your debit card to gamble online, even if your bank says “No” to online gambling.
2. Linking a debit card to your mobile wallet (e.g. Apple Pay, Google Pay) allows you to make debit card deposits without giving the casino your card info.
3. Interac Debit and Interac Debit for Online Payments are the most recommended way to pay for iGaming.

1. Don’t Worry About Your Bank
   The biggest misconception in Canadian iGaming is that the use of a debit card is governed by its issuing bank. If your bank says “No!” to online gambling, you’re not S.O.L. You can still use your debit card to make deposit. You just have to know which loopholes to jump through. For example, you can use your debit card to buy a prepaid gift card or virtual voucher, or link it to another payment method that the casino accepts.
2. Keep Your Card Details Safe
   You can maximize the safety of your debit card deposits by linking your card to a trusted alternative payment method. Mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay are especially popular, mostly because they’re free. Web wallets like PayPal and MuchBetter are also good options but with fees. By linking your debit card to such an account, you won’t have to divulge your card info to the online gambling sites.
3. Interac Still #1 in Canada iGaming
   As Canadian iGamers, we have the privilege of banking with Interac. Being the most trusted payment method in the country, Canada’s most reputable casinos make a point to accept Interac deposits. If your bank or credit union is among the 300+ financial institutions that support free Interac banking services, you might as well take advantage of it.

Angela Wins a ‘Major’ Prize

In 2017, we received an email from an Angela M. of Tsawwassen Springs, B.C. She explained that for many years she had been a regular at one of Canada’s largest casinos, The River Rock in Richmond, but that she was “frightened” by recent events. Every time she saw a “fancy suit” she was afraid it might be a criminal. (Some of you may remember River Rock Casino’s big high-roller money laundering scandal that erupted that year.)

“I’m too frightened to go to River Rock anymore. Every time I see a person in a fancy suit, I wonder if they’re a criminal!”

Angela went on to tell us that she decided for the first time to take her casino gaming online. She found our website, where we had just published an article detailing Microgaming’s Best Online Racing Slots. Intrigued by the millionaire’s jackpot on 5 Reel Drive Mega Moolah, she clicked the link, registering an account with Royal Vegas to seek out the game.

Her very first spin led to the bonus wheel feature, where she won the Mini jackpot for about $27. It was exciting, sure, but not a life changer. Then, about a dozen spins later, she struck the Major jackpot for $12,473!

“This is incredible! I’m so glad I came across your website. I can’t thank you enough. Next stop, the ‘Mega’ jackpot!”

We are so very happy for you Angela and hope your dreams of striking a multi-million jackpot come true!

Katrina Finally Beats the Dealer

In 2021, we received a message from Katrina P. of Hearst, Ontario. She wrote to tell us that, after finding our blackjack guide, she finally discovered why her blackjack strategy wasn’t working out. She quoted the exact text on our website that resulted in this epiphany:

“…the slightest variation in rules can change the dynamics of a basic strategy chart. Players must choose the game to be played before choosing the chart to incorporate for that game.”

Katrina said she had always used the same basic strategy for every game of blackjack. When she started using our game-specific strategy charts, she saw an immediate difference.

“I don’t know why it never occurred to me before, but thank you so much for pointing this out! It’s only been three weeks and I’m up $700. Amazing!”

Thanh Turns to Poker

This last story comes out of Montreal, Quebec. In January of 2023, Thanh L. wrote to tell us what he’d been doing for the last year.

He said that in December 2021, after a bad run with video poker, he turned to search engines looking for “beatable casino games”. That’s when he ran across this page on our website. Thanh was surprised to find that the only three beatable games weren’t traditional casino games at all, but rather poker, horse racing, and sports betting.

Not a sports fan, Thanh began learning everything he could about poker. He read more of our pages on the topic, bought a few books, watched Youtube videos and live poker tournaments whenever he could. Thanh spent a few weeks at the free-play tables practicing, then in January 2022, made his first deposit at Party Poker.

“It’s been exactly one year since I made the deposit. Thanks to your advice, I’m happy to say I just put a down payment on a new home for my family. It turns out I’m pretty good at mid-range tournaments! I don’t know where I’d be if I hadn’t come across your page. Thank you!”

We are a team of actual players, living right here in Canada, with a genuine interest in the topics we cover. Yes, it’s an affiliate website, and yes we get a little kickback now and again for the links we share. All informational websites do. What makes us different is our commitment to you.

We are gamers, not salesmen. We place bets, play games, and employ the very same strategies we write about. None of us went to marketing school, but most of us did spend late nights playing poker at university. It’s who we are.

Simply put, we are just like you. We are constantly on the lookout for the next good game, the next great bet. Like you, we want to gamble online in a safe and legal environment, with trusted operators. And when we find that which we seek, we are happy to share it with all of you.
