How to start playing at Canadian online casinos – a guide for beginners

Quick Navigation |
Gambling for an experienced internet user is not difficult. But to play correctly in an online casino Canada you need to have special skills and most importantly – experience. This article will help you to get precious experience in the field of online casino gambling.

Choosing a casino. Registration
Before starting a big game in an online casino, the user must first select the resource on which to play the game. The modern network offers a very large range of online casinos. Some offer the latest games, others – tempting bonuses, and large jackpots. To find your site for future games, it is recommended to refer to a site that presents casino reviews and player comments. This will help in the choice and eliminate the chances of being deceived. However, if you want to start the game right away on a trusted platform, you may visit the Casinonic website and start your game there.
The next step is to register at an online casino. If the selected resource is large and proven for years, you should not be afraid to enter your data. A fair and trusted site will never use player data and never give it to third parties. It is not recommended to provide false information about yourself. You won’t be able to withdraw money if you will give wrong information on the website.
Deposit
To enter funds into the site you need to choose a convenient payment system. The fastest and most comfortable systems are electronic wallets like Neteller, PayPal, and Skrill. They have quality protection and allow you to quickly withdraw/deposit money.
Bonus
Many sites offer to play casinos and receive a registration bonus of 50% to 200% of the deposit amount. But often, when receiving a bonus on the account, the player must redeem the received advantage by placing bets about 5-40 times more than the bonus received. Accordingly, in the case of luck, the player will not be able to withdraw money until wagering conditions met, but the bonus itself will give the player much more time to spend for the games and experience a much greater number of them, even if luck is not on his side. Accepting or refusing a bonus offer is at the discretion of the player.
If a player decides to take the bonus, it is recommended that you first read the rules for using the bonus or contact online support to determine the wager conditions.
The beginning of the game
Online casinos provide a huge range of games. After registration and first deposit to gaming account, the process of game choosing begins. Here the player needs to decide: to spin the reels on slot machines, collect combinations in video poker or bingo, try to beat the casino in blackjack, etc.
If it is your first time at an online casino and you do not know where to start, you should try to play casino games for free first. The assortment of slot machines and various other casino games is always very large, and the player will be able to find the one that will be to his liking. However, we strongly recommend starting your gambling trip from slot machines first, since they are attractive and easy to use. The recommendation is to choose slots with 20+ pay lines, 3-character rows, and 5 reels – these machines are the most common and favorite among players. It will be even more useful to read the description of the slot game and learn if the slot has interesting bonus features, which improve your chances to win (such bonuses as free spins and mini-games will benefit your game).
How to play the online casino – the right way
For beginners, it’s best to play at the minimum rates to get into the taste and understand the specifics of the game. It is not necessary to listen to the statement that without big bets there will be no big winnings. An experienced player, even with minimal bets, can raise a good amount of money and enjoy the game, without the disappointment of heavy losses in terms of your wallet.
It is necessary to catch the symbols with high payouts or bonuses that give free spins. It is advisable to select slot machines with the possibility of stopping the drums manually (usually by pressing the start button again). This will give you more control over the slot machine game and allow you to catch the right pictures.

Affilka by SOFTSWISS Unveils Updates for Affiliates

Affilka by SOFTSWISS, an award-winning affiliate management software platform, has announced a suite of new product updates for the affiliates. The latest release introduces a Traffic Report with advanced clicks analytics, an API for extracting campaigns and tracking links, and a sub-affiliate NGR-based revenue share model.
Traffic Report: In-depth Click Analysis
This new Traffic Report focuses on detailed click-level analytics, offering in-depth insights into clicks, registrations, deposits, and conversion rates such as click-to-reg and click-to-FTD – all in one place. It includes several key features for flexible data analysis:
- Multi-dimensional filtering and data grouping: The report enables users to filter and break down the data into granular views across multiple dimensions, offering detailed insights by traffic source, campaign, country, device type, IP address, and more. Notably, click data is transferred to the report in real time, providing instant visibility into user activity.
- CSV data export: The report supports one-click CSV export, allowing affiliates to easily download raw data for offline analysis or sharing.
- Historical data access: Affiliates can review traffic statistics from 1 January 2023, enabling year-on-year comparisons and long-term trend evaluation.
Gleb Bichan, Product Lead at Affilka by SOFTSWISS, comments: “At Affilka, we know how crucial it is for operators and affiliates alike to make data-driven decisions. That’s why we’re introducing tools like the Traffic Report to help partners become more productive and uncover new insights faster.”
API for Marketing Campaigns and Tracking Links
In addition to the existing Reports API, affiliates can now access data on their marketing campaigns and tracking links directly via API, allowing for automated data extraction and custom integrations. With this API access, users can retrieve up-to-date lists of marketing campaigns, promo codes, and related performance metrics directly via API calls. This improvement helps Affilka clients automate their reporting workflows and integrate affiliate data with external BI tools, reducing manual effort and ensuring timely access to key information.
New Sub-affiliate Revenue Share Model
Responding to client feedback, Affilka’s team also features a new sub-affiliate reward type. This allows affiliates to earn a commission based on the Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) generated by players referred by their sub-affiliates, offering a more direct revenue-sharing approach. By aligning earnings with the actual revenue brought in by sub-affiliates, the update incentivises collaboration and gives experienced affiliates a stronger stake in mentoring their referred partners.
Gleb Bichan adds: “For us, it’s important that affiliates not only use the product but also feel it’s built with their real needs in mind. We regularly gather feedback and implement improvements that make daily workflows more transparent and efficient. Features like the Traffic Report, API access, and new reward types are direct responses to partner requests – and we’re not stopping there. We plan to introduce even more tools designed to simplify affiliate operations, so stay tuned for upcoming updates.”
Affilka by SOFTSWISS will be presented at iGB in London from 3 to 4 July 2025. Attendees of the event can learn more about new features directly from the Affilka team and see how these innovations support better affiliate programme management.
