Quality Casinos

We mentioned that defining the best online casino in Canada is a very subjective opinion. Let us explain.

If you’re a die-hard sports fan, you’re probably going to look for casinos with sports betting, slots, and live casino with sports themes. 

On the other hand, if you can’t stand sports and everything associated with it, playing at an online casino with tons of football references and sportsbook will be irrelevant and boring to you.

The same goes if you prefer live casino over slots, poker over live casino, etc. 

But quality must be objective? Yes… Kind of. The support can be immaculate, and the betting system might be perfect, but if you’re not interested in sports betting, you’re still not going to like the casino even though it outranks everyone else in quality.

So, before you go looking for the highest-ranked quality casino, you might want to stop and consider what kind of quality it is you’re looking for. 

Regardless of your preferences, here at Viabonus, we’re the right kind of people to find the highest quality casinos. With all of our combined experience and knowledge, we know what we’re talking about when we define a casino as a high-quality casino. That said, let’s define quality together.

There are few things you should look into when you´re looking for quality online casinos. We´ve listed the things that are important for the fun, secure and fair experience when playing online casino games.

Casino Licence

Without a proper casino license, there’s no point in even considering it a quality casino.

Luckily, here at Viabonus, we would never recommend any online casino that doesn’t have the proper casino license. We’re looking for good licenses like MGA, Curacao, or the Kahnawake Gaming Commissions license.

The licenses we approve of when we test the casinos are only the highly reputable casino licenses with strict regulations and a ton of care for the player. At Viabonus, we do extensive tests to make sure the casino lives up to our expectations.

That’s what we consider a quality casino license. 

Quality Is All About Feeling Safe

Being able to rely on a casino is one of the crucial parts of a quality casino. If you’re always a little suspicious, you’ll have a bad experience.

Here at Viabonus, we wouldn’t want you to feel deceived. Especially not when it comes to quality casinos. That’s why we spend a lot of time making sure that security at the online casino is perfect.

It all starts with the license; a good casino license, like the ones we mentioned earlier, has regulations to ensure player safety. That means that all of your details are stored safely and any documents you send in can only be seen by trained individuals during your verification process. 

When making a deposit, you might also feel unsafe if the website looks weird or if the payment methods are limited. The same goes for few or bad quality games.

Great Games

There are a ton of different games available at Canadian online casinos. But if the games are slow to load, the graphic poor, and the game functions very few, this would be classified as bad games. And if the casino has bad games, it’s not a quality casino.

We mentioned that we expect high-quality games from game providers like NetEnt, Microgaming, and Evolution Gaming, but we didn’t go into the details of each different game section, like slots, jackpots, and live casino.

After all, there’s more to casino games than just the name of the game provider. For a casino to get a quality stamp here at Viabonus, they have to pass our games check. Let’s go over what we look for.

Slots

At online casinos, slots are just one of those things that everyone likes to spend at least a little bit of time on. Others never venture outside of the slots zone.

That’s why it’s important to us that slots are of good quality if we’re going to label the online casino as a quality casino. 

We expect the casino to offer a good variety of top slot providers like Netent, Microgaming, Quickspin, Yggdrasil, Play’N Go, and more. It’s not enough to only offer Netent’s and Microgaming’s games, that would not be big enough of a portfolio for us to call it a quality casino.

Why do we only mention big names? It’s true that smaller game providers also have quality games, but they rarely have a big and diverse game library, so they can’t alone compete with the big names. That doesn’t mean that you should avoid them though, we really like what some of these smaller names come up with!

Progressive Jackpots

Who doesn’t love progressive jackpots? If you’re not sure what the difference is between a regular jackpot and a progressive one, you don’t need to look any further.

A regular jackpot is a large amount of money that you can win, while a progressive jackpot is when every player that plays the same slot as you are contributing to the jackpot with every spin of the reels. Typically, these kinds of jackpots are also shared between several casinos, which means that the jackpot could be very large.

There’s no doubt that progressive jackpots are popular, and we can’t see why a high-quality casino would opt out of offering them to us players.

– Did you know that the biggest win with a progressive jackpot was Mega Moolah at $28.1 million?

Blackjack and Card Games

The classic game of blackjack has a history that goes really far back into our history. If you’re familiar with the name but not the game itself, it’s quite easy.

Each card has a value that corresponds to the number on the card, with the exception of all face cards, worth 10, and ace, worth 11 or 1, depending on what’s best at the time.

Your objective is, with the cards dealt to you, to get a total as close to 21 as possible without going over. If your cards are low, you can ask for more cards or, in some versions, give up and only lose half of your bet.

Blackjack is very popular, not only with friends but especially at the casino. So are other card games like baccarat or dragon tiger, and if you want to know more about those games, you can read all about them here.

As you might have guessed, no blackjack – not a quality casino.

Roulette

Roulette is such a big part of our culture that we don’t think we’ve ever seen a casino scene in a movie or series that doesn’t feature a roulette table. It’s one of those iconic games that just have to be there.

If You’re Not Too Familiar With the Rules:

• The big wheel has alternating black and red colors with different numbers on them.
• The dealer spins a white ball and whichever color and number the ball lands on, wins.
• Before the ball is spun, you place a bet on whether it will land on a specific number, set of numbers, color, or even 0.

Zero, you say?

This is different from version to version. For example, the European version has one green zero while the American has two. Then there’s also the French and the Mini version. Want to know more? You can read all about the rules and functions of roulette here.

So, if an online casino has a live casino but no roulette, we will be very confused at first. And then we won’t label it as a quality casino.

Poker and Live Casino

We’ve been in the live casino area for quite a while in this article, and it’s for a good reason. Just about every online casino player loves the thrill of a live casino.

It’s fun to connect with the dealer through the chat or see how differently the dealers take care of you while you play. Some are really funny and entertaining themselves!

And, of course, there’s also poker at live casinos. Some of these are only virtual where you play with other players or against the computer.

Others offer live dealers with poker as well, and this is one of those sweet spots in live casino. Typically, you play against the house along with other players in many different forms.

There Are Even Poker Games With Jackpot Functions!

We really like poker, just like many players with us, and if the online casino offers live casino – we will expect poker alternatives.

Sports Betting

If you’re a real big sports fan, you will be expecting sports betting, sports-related slots, and other games. However, not every online casino has sports betting, and not every sports betting casino has other casino functions.

So, when it comes down to it, we need sports betting casinos to follow our criteria of what we like a quality casino to have.

We Want

• Plenty of sports to bet on, bonus points for virtual sports
• Easy betting and navigation between the sport games
• Easy and clear betting rules – and easy to find!
• Slots and live casino – preferably sports-related ones too
• Extra bonus points for sports-themed VIP programs

Unfortunately, not everyone is as passionate about sports betting as we are, so rather than only showing you quality casinos with sports betting, we’ve made a well-balanced mix of both at the top of this page. Perhaps you will also like one of the non-sports casinos?

Quality in Payment Methods

The many different methods available (or not available) for deposits and withdrawals are a huge part of feeling like you’re getting quality.

Having a ton of options isn’t necessarily a sign of a quality casino. For example, if they have a ton of deposit methods that are not available in the country you live in, then those are pretty much useless to you.

The first step when it comes to quality payment methods is what options there are. We want cards (Visa, MasterCard), bank, e-wallets (Skrill, Paypal, Neteller) and, Trustly, Interac and iDebit. Any quality casino with Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies as deposit methods gets bonus points.

Then we have withdrawals, these must be fast once you’re verified. There’s no point if all of the great payment methods are there, but the withdrawals are taking forever. Simply put, that’s not quality.

Summary Of the Top Payment Methods at Quality Casinos:

• Credit and debit cards – Visa, Mastercard, American Express
• PayPal
• Neteller
• Paysafecard
• ecoCard and ecoPayz
• Interac Online
• InstaDebit
• Bank transfer

Mobile Casinos

Being able to play wherever you want, whenever you want – that’s a quality casino.

By that, of course, we mean playing on your mobile phone.

Most online casinos today are available on the phone, but some truly are better than others. Navigation on the small screen has to be different than it is on the computer. Some online casinos also have a dedicated app with all of the games and other functions that you have on the computer, which is great.

Here at Viabonus, we want not only the website on mobile but also the app to be great.

Friendly Customer Support

You might be visiting the most expensive Rolls Royce equivalent of a casino, but if the customer support you interact with is uninformed, slow at responding, and only available during office hours or in the middle of the night – it’s not the quality you’d expect for the fancy interior.

We don’t even notice it that much in our regular interactions with a casino, but when we do need help, we want the support to be top-notch.

That means quick agents who know what they’re talking about and also get what you’re trying to say. When we’re in need of help we’re not always coherent and relaxed, and the support agent must be able to handle the request well.

That’s quality.

The High-quality Bonuses

Bonuses are a huge part of any player’s life. A bad welcome bonus is never a nice start at a casino experience. Neither is a bad reload and weekly bonuses. Bonuses are what make a casino stand out. And offering good bonuses are clearly a way to show if it’s a quality casino or not.

Here at Viabonus, We Define Quality Bonuses As:

• Generous welcome bonus
• Great reload bonuses
• Good recurring bonuses or a nice VIP program

Don’t Stand In Line As a VIP

The basic expectancy for a real quality casino, according to some, is a public VIP program.

Others just want a true VIP program for those with a lot of money. Own account manager, tailored bonuses, and nice cashback – yes, please. Who would say no to that?

Well, for the vast majority, the public VIP program is the only obtainable VIP feeling. Not everyone has thousands of dollars a week to spend, so we want to have a transparent VIP or leveling up system.
