DraftKings Casino Ontario review 2024
OGCA's verdict
By Luke Garrison - Casino Expert | April 2023
DraftKings is a household name in the US, beloved by gamblers for its sports betting and online casino offering. Having entered the Ontario market in 2022, the operator is a strong option for players looking for an enjoyable and easy-to-use online casino. Both the DraftKings Ontario desktop platform and app feature a comprehensive selection of over 600 top titles, all housed within a well-organized games catalogue.
Live dealer fans will be disappointed by the lack of variety, although they will find a dedicated game show lobby. We were also unimpressed by the casino’s slow withdrawal times, which take up to five working days to process. However, there’s still a lot to like about DraftKings Ontario.
