#1 Sign up process
Unlike regular casinos, online casinos involve more than just your driver’s license or passport. The reason is very straightforward, because in online casinos, there is no reception desk or security guards. So, what would happen is that you (the player) would have to declare their personal information and verify your account. This process will, inevitably, involve your private information, so be extra cautious with it.
However, this sign up process is different from site to site, so make sure to check their terms and conditions before signing up. Moreover, on some sites, you could play the games without having to sign up. We will discuss more about this in the blog as we go.

- Check out to see if your online casino is licensed, and which regulation gave them the license, and check if that piece of information can be trusted.

#4 Bonuses and benefits
Third, we would love to talk about bonuses online casinos provide that traditional casinos do not offer. The most common bonuses are welcome bonuses and extra spins. These bonuses will appear right when you first enter the site, as a way to welcome you to their website. Another type of bonus/benefit, which is also popular, is the loyalty or VIP program. Depending on which casino you sign up with, there will be different benefits for each of them.
Now, let we give you some facts about bonuses in Canada:
- Bonuses are mostly targeted players who play slot and bingo. The reason is simple: because the games are more risky and more likely for you to lose the money
- When you receive a bonus, it would usually be followed by a condition (in the terms and conditions part). Usually, this condition will be a “wagering requirements”. Wagering requirement means that after you receive your bonus, you will have to wager 30-40 times (vary from one casino to the others) the amount of bonus you receive, in order to withdraw your money. In simple terms, if you receive a bonus of 100$ and the wagering requirement is 30x then you have to wager 3000$ in order to withdraw your money. Also, not all the games on the website is contributed to your wagering, so be careful with bonuses
As you can see, they have 35x wagering, meaning that you have to make a wager 35 times your bonus, in order to withdraw.
