Terms and Conditions
This page sets out the terms that apply when you use hotsprings.ca. We're an independent comparison site focused on online casinos available across Canadian provinces, with a particular focus on free spins offers and welcome bonuses. By browsing this site, you agree to the points below.
What hotsprings.ca actually is
hotsprings.ca is an editorial and comparison resource. We research, rate and rank online casino brands operating in Canada, with particular attention to free spins promotions, deposit bonuses and the terms attached to them. We do not operate a casino, we do not accept wagers, and we are not a payment processor. Any account you open, deposit you make, or bet you place happens directly between you and the casino operator in question — never with us.
Nothing on this site should be read as financial, legal or gambling advice. It is general information intended to help you compare options faster.
How we rate and rank the casinos we cover
Our editorial ratings reflect a review of publicly available information about each operator: the size and structure of welcome offers (including free spins), the range of games and software providers, payment options relevant to Canadian players, mobile usability, and the clarity of terms attached to bonuses. Ratings are our own opinion, expressed on our own scale, and are not customer-review scores or a guarantee of any outcome if you sign up.
Online Casinos may receive commission when a reader clicks through to a casino and signs up. This commercial relationship does not influence how a brand is scored or where it sits in our rankings — the order shown reflects our editorial assessment, not payment received. We update listings periodically, but bonus terms, wagering requirements and offer values can change on the operator's side at any time, so always confirm current terms on the operator's own site before you deposit.
Offers, free spins and bonus terms change
Where this site displays an offer — for example free spins packages or matched-deposit bonuses from brands such as Betninja, WinnerIsland, Zoccer, Betscore or others we cover — that figure comes from information published by the operator at the time of review. Free spins counts, deposit-match percentages, maximum bonus values and any extras (such as bonus items tied to a specific promotion) are set and controlled entirely by the casino, not by us. Minimum deposits, wagering requirements, game restrictions, maximum withdrawal caps and expiry windows are also the operator's terms, and they can be amended or withdrawn without notice to us.
We describe headline offers as accurately as we can at the time of writing, but you should always read the full bonus terms on the casino's own site before opting in. Nothing described as a bonus or free spins offer on this site should be treated as guaranteed cash or a guaranteed win — it is a promotional mechanic that comes with conditions.
Eligibility and your responsibilities
Gambling laws and the minimum legal age to gamble vary by province in Canada, and it is your responsibility to confirm you meet your province's requirements before registering with any operator listed here. It is also your responsibility to check that a casino accepts players from your province and that its licensing arrangements satisfy you before you deposit any money. We do not verify a reader's identity, age or location, and registration and verification checks are handled solely by the casino you choose to sign up with.
If you're at all concerned about your gambling habits, or those of someone close to you, our Responsible Gambling page has further information and support resources.
Accuracy of our content
We take reasonable care to keep reviews, comparison tables and bonus details current, and content is reviewed periodically. That said, online casino terms, promotions and payment options change frequently and we cannot guarantee that every detail on this site is accurate at the exact moment you read it. Where you rely on a specific figure — a bonus amount, a free spins count, a wagering requirement — treat it as a starting point and verify it directly with the operator.
We link only to the casino brands we have actually reviewed, listed on pages such as our best free spins offers comparison. We do not accept payment to add an unreviewed brand to our rankings.
Intellectual property and use of this site
The text, comparisons, ratings and design of hotsprings.ca belong to Online Casinos unless otherwise credited. You're welcome to link to our pages or quote short extracts with attribution, but you may not copy substantial parts of our content, reviews or tables for republication elsewhere without asking first.
Limits on our liability
We provide this site "as is." To the extent permitted by law, Online Casinos is not liable for losses arising from decisions made based on content here, including losses connected to deposits, wagers, bonus terms, or disputes with a third-party casino operator. Any dispute over an offer, a withdrawal, or an account should be raised directly with the casino concerned, using its own customer support and complaints process.
Changes to these terms
We may update this page from time to time to reflect changes in how the site operates or how we review casinos. The version shown here is the one currently in effect; continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
Common questions about using this site
Does hotsprings.ca accept bets or hold my money?
No. We're a review and comparison site only. All deposits, wagers and withdrawals happen on the casino operator's own platform, under that operator's own terms.
Why do bonus figures sometimes differ from what I see on the casino's site?
Operators can change or withdraw promotions at short notice. We aim to keep figures current, but the casino's own terms page is always the final word before you deposit.
Do the rankings change if I click through and sign up?
No. We may earn a commission from some sign-ups, but this is kept separate from the editorial process that produces our ratings and rankings.
Where do I go if I have a problem with a casino I found here?
Contact that casino's own support team directly, since account, deposit and withdrawal issues sit with them. If your question is about our content or this site, you can reach us via our Contact Us page.
