Although Canada allows gambling, it seems the pursuit is not quite as popular as in some other countries. Canadians enjoy a flutter on the lottery and also have an affinity for scratch cards and raffles, but seem to take less to other forms of gambling.
That does not mean Canadians dislike it completely, and a lot of provincial governments have decided to create their own online casinos. Change appears to be afoot in Canada, and the nation could see more online casinos open in the country.
Whether an online casino is state-run or private, it will face some stiff competition from the new QueenVegas online casino that has just been launched in Canada. This post discusses the new casino.
Canada opening up to online gambling
Ontario has generated a revolution in online betting in the country by signalling an openness to online gaming in its 2020 budgets. The move could open the door to investment from private online gaming operators into the country. Now more provincial governments could follow in the footsteps of Ontario and loosen up their monopoly on online gaming, allowing private operators to enter the market.
There is also talk of legalizing sports betting nationwide. This is currently in discussion. A draft bill was presented and approved and now is on its way to the Senate. Again, provincial governments control sports betting with state-run sites. Private betting operators will be watching with interest to see whether Canada opens up the market to them.
QueenVegas launched in Canada
If you are a fan of online casinos, you might already be familiar with the site QueenVegas, which launched in 2021 and has caused quite a stir.
One of the site’s main selling points is that it is an Interac casino, a bank transfer software service which is highly respected throughout Canada and has a good reputation in the financial world.
The site offers a whole range of services, including live table games and slots. Its slots selection is especially inviting, featuring movie-based slots such as ‘The Goonies’ and TV-based ones including ‘Deal or No Deal’. Fans will not be able to resist. Studies have shown that slot games are popular amongst Canadians at an online casino. The statistics found that 72% of Canadian gamblers had played on slot games previously. It is likely that players opt for slot games due to their ease, speed and convenience for players when playing. There is also a wide range of themed slot games available for players to choose from, meaning no game is the same.
Aiming to become the biggest casino in Canada
QueenVegas aims to become one of the best online casinos in the country and beyond. The use of the Interac software makes it Canadian-friendly and possibly one of the fastest operators in the country when it comes to paying winnings. Players can use this Canada-specific option, credit cards, or digital wallets such as PayPal, to play on the site. The operator aims to pay back players who strike it lucky within a day.
To help it on the path to accomplishing its aims, QueenVegas makes it as safe as possible for players, by using 128-bit SSL encryption technology to keep transactions secure. The site is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and observes a tight privacy policy. Players will also find tools and guidance on the site to help them gamble responsibly.
The operator’s policy of openness and transparency and the measures above help to create this safe environment for players. QueenVegas welcomes comments, questions or complaints from anyone who has an issue with the operator and invites them to come forward and make these known. QueenVegas can then deal with them professionally.
Why Interac?
The use of Interac is a strong selling point for the operator. The software allows players to deposit and receive payments much faster, since it was created for this purpose. Other methods, such as debit cards or credit cards can take longer to process.
Interac also makes playing at the casino more accessible. Players just have to a bank account. Then when they are using their real money account at the casino, they can click on the Interac option to withdraw winnings or make a deposit.
On top of all this, Interac offers a major level of security. The software helps to connect many financial institutions in Canada, which means that the creators have paid exceptional attention to assuring the highest levels of security. It will help to protect your details from any unsafe sites.
Will more casinos use Interac?
Interac is mostly used in Canada, so it is difficult to predict whether the online casino world will see use of it become more widespread, although it is perfectly possible.
In Canada, however, this is perfectly possible as new operators look to move into the Canadian market and, because competition is so high in the industry, seek to gain any edge within the law they can on rival online casino operators.
Security is a major concern in the world of online gaming. Any measures that operators can take to reassure their customers that it’s safe to play on the site are essential. Given the solid reputation of Interac and the accessibility the software creates for anyone wishing to play at an online casino, it’s possible the nation could see more and more operators offer Interac as a payment option.
QueenVegas is striving to become one of the best online casinos in Canada, and the use of Interac is a big selling point, providing customers with safety when they use the operator’s services. The operator has launched at a time when Canada itself is become more receptive to online gaming, so we may see Interac and online casinos become more popular.
