Paysafecard in Canadian Casinos
On this page
This page is for Canadian players who want to use Paysafecard, a prepaid voucher, to fund online casino accounts in Canadian dollars. Gambling in Canada is run province by province: Ontario and Alberta have licensed private operators, other provinces offer government-run sites, and many players also use overseas sites. Below we explain the rules and how to buy and use a Paysafecard. What is Paysafecard and why choose to use it across Canadian online casinos?
Online Gambling Regulation in Canada
Gambling in Canada is regulated under the Criminal Code, which lets each province run or license its own gambling. Ontario has licensed private online operators since April 2022 (regulated by the AGCO and iGaming Ontario), and Alberta’s regulated private market went live on 13 July 2026 under the AGLC. Other provinces offer government-run sites only, such as PlayNow and Espacejeux (Loto-Québec). You can read about Canada, Quebec, British Columbia and other Canadian online casino options on our site.
Each province has its own regulator and rules. In Ontario it is the AGCO (with iGaming Ontario), in Alberta the AGLC, in British Columbia the BCLC, which runs PlayNow, and in Quebec Loto-Québec runs Espacejeux. Manitoba, like the other provinces, offers government-run play only.
Sites that are not licensed by a Canadian province offer none of the consumer protections that licensed operators must provide, and provincial regulators such as the AGCO advise residents to use licensed sites only. If you are unsure about the rules in your province, check with your provincial regulator.
Operators without a licence from a Canadian province are not licensed to offer online gambling to players there. Many overseas operators hold licences from other jurisdictions, including the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, which is not a Canadian provincial licence. These sites target Canadian players, but they sit outside provincial regulation, so check what protections apply before you deposit.
Casinos that serve Canadians usually list several payment methods. Some are local, such as Interac, and some are global, such as the prepaid voucher Paysafecard. A voucher is mostly used for deposits, because you pay for it up front and enter its code at the cashier. Check the cashier of any Canadian online casino to see whether it accepts Paysafecard before you buy one. Below we cover how it works, how to buy a voucher and how to deposit with it.
Using Paysafecard Across Canadian Online Casinos
Paysafecard belongs to Paysafe Group. In Canada the group's Paysafe Financial Services Limited is listed as a registered foreign money services business with FINTRAC. The voucher is sold at retail outlets in Canada, and paysafecard's own Canada page lists chains such as Canada Post, Esso and Mobil.
Paysafecard also offers a free my paysafecard account, which is available in Canada and lets you store vouchers, log in to pay and see your payments in one place. Other products, such as a reloadable Mastercard prepaid card, are not offered everywhere, so check what is on sale in Canada. You can buy a voucher in store, and an outlet may take cash or a credit card; ask the outlet which it accepts.
paysafecard lists a maximum of 400 CAD per transaction in Canada, and prices are in Canadian dollars, so you avoid a conversion fee when you spend CAD. The paysafecard site has a locator to find the nearest outlet. After you pay you receive a 16-digit code, which is the only thing you enter at the cashier, so keep it private because anyone who has it can spend the balance. A voucher means you do not give the casino your bank or card details, although registering a my paysafecard account does require your personal details.
Because you pay up front, you can only spend what you have loaded, which makes the voucher easy to budget with. That is a privacy and budgeting benefit, not a guarantee of safety. The steps for depositing are below.

Deposits and Withdrawals with Paysafecard
A voucher PIN cannot receive winnings, so you cannot withdraw to it. A my paysafecard account can receive payouts at some casinos, but paysafecard's Canada page does not list a payout service, so do not count on it. Check the casino's withdrawal methods before you deposit, and plan to cash out another way.
If you want to deposit with a Paysafecard voucher, first choose a casino that is licensed for your province (see the legal summary above) and that lists Paysafecard in its cashier. Games differ by site; studios such as Lightning Box, Evolution and Play’n GO supply Live Casino and slot games, table games and scratchcards at many sites.
Once you've found the site to go with, make sure it accepts the prepaid card, and register an account with it. To make a deposit with Paysafecard, make sure you go through the following steps:
Because a voucher cannot receive winnings, choose another method to cash out. Interac is a local option many Canadians already use, but whether you can withdraw with it depends on the casino, so look at the withdrawal methods before you deposit. Withdrawal times vary by casino and method.
Conclusion
Paysafecard is a prepaid deposit option for Canadian players: you pay for a voucher in store, enter its code at the cashier and spend only what you loaded. It is deposit-only for most players, so you need a separate way to withdraw. If you decide to use it, check that the casino lists it and is licensed for your province first.
FAQs
Can I use Paysafecard at online casinos in Canada?
Only at casinos that list it in the cashier, so check before you buy a voucher. Use a site licensed by your province where one exists; Ontario and Alberta have licensed private operators and other provinces run government sites.
What is the maximum Paysafecard payment in Canada?
paysafecard lists up to 400 CAD per transaction on its Canada fees and limits page. A my paysafecard account can hold PINs worth up to 3,500 CAD, and used PINs are capped at 10,000 CAD a month. The casino may set its own limits.
Can I withdraw winnings to Paysafecard in Canada?
Not to a voucher PIN. Payouts need a registered account and a casino that supports them, and the Canada fees page does not list a payout service, so plan to withdraw by another method.
Are there fees for Paysafecard in Canada?
The Canada page lists a 2.50 CAD monthly fee from the 19th month on an unredeemed PIN, taken from its balance, and a conversion fee when currencies differ (no amount given). Registering and redeeming the PIN avoids the monthly fee.
