PlayNow Casino Ontario review 2024

PlayNow casino’s 500+ strong games collection is spearheaded by online slots, progressive jackpots with eye-catching payouts and fun and fast-paced instant win games. The selection of games is regularly updated, with the likes of Live Mega Ball and Lightning Box Keno taking pride of place in the ‘New Games’ tab at the time of our review.

For ease and convenience, games have been organized into easy to navigate tabs, such as ‘Slots’, ‘Live Casino’, ‘Jackpots’ and ‘Table Games’. PlayNow has partnered with software giants to provide its eclectic mix of titles, most notably IGT, Bally and Big Time Gaming.

PlayNow casino has 350+ slots, including plenty of popular titles that slots fans will know and love. You can spin the reels on classics such as Cleopatra, Golden Goddess and 88 Fortunes. While PlayNow’s slots collection features titles from renowned producers such as Bally and IGT, unfortunately the RTP percentages on offer are slightly lower than what you’ll find at other online casinos.

Among PlayNow casino’s strengths is its appealing collection of progressive jackpot games. The platform boasts 53 jackpot titles featuring numerous exclusives, which are conveniently listed in order of their current jackpot in the ‘Jackpots’ tab, so you can immediately see where the biggest payouts lie. The casino also frequently updates its jackpot games, with recent releases including Ancient Temple Riches Jackpots.

In addition, there are also often several seven-figure jackpots up for grabs at any time. The range of jackpot games available to play cover multiple themes, but our favourites include PowerBucks Arctic Gems, MegaJackpots Siberian Storm and Medusa II Jackpots.

Table games form only a small part of PlayNow casino’s overall games selection. There are 40 different table titles covering blackjack, baccarat and roulette, developed by providers Evolution and SG Gaming. These are divided between classic versions and entertaining variants, as well as games specifically tailored to both low budget bettors (such as Euro Roulette Low Limit) and players more willing to stake big (e.g. Multihand Blackjack).

Some of the best table games available to enjoy at PlayNow casino include Three Card Poker, Dragon Bonus Baccarat and Super Fun 21 Extreme. While these are all great games, there is capacity for PlayNow casino to expand its table game offerings.

PlayNow casino has a small selection of nine live casino titles and game shows, predominantly produced by Evolution Gaming, which all come with professional hosts that you can interact with in real time. The site’s live casino collection is divided between classic table games including baccarat, blackjack and roulette, and flashy game shows such as Dream Wheeler and Mega Ball.

While PlayNow’s live casino games selection is limited, the individual titles within it are certainly fun to play and come with generous staking limits of up to $2,000 per round to heighten your chances of big wins. Many also feature high RTP percentages, most notably Infinite Blackjack (99.47%) and Ultimate Texas Hold’em (97.82%).

PlayNow casino currently has two dedicated mobile apps available to download on both iOS and Android, but you can only use them to play poker games and check lottery numbers respectively. If you want access to the casino’s full range of games on mobile, you need to do so via its mobile-optimised site.

Thankfully, the PlayNow casino mobile site is quick and easy to use, and retains the straightforward interface and extensive customer support. However, it would still be great if PlayNow Ontario introduced a dedicated app for its mobile games.

As a casino that exclusively operates in Canada, PlayNow’s banking options feature several methods popular with players in Ontario. These include Amex, credit or debit card, Interac, Mastercard and Visa. Sadly, e-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill and Neteller are not currently available to use at Canadian online casinos.

Compared to many other online casinos, PlayNow has particularly low minimum deposit and withdrawal limits, and you can even withdraw as little as a single dollar using certain payment methods. Furthermore, PlayNow does not charge fees on any deposits and withdrawals.

PlayNow casino is certified by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC), Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Corporation (MBLL) and Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA). This means that as a government-backed casino, it employs stringent security and responsible gaming measures.

These include SSL technology along with 128-bit encryption, file integrity monitoring and auditing to provide a multi-layered defence for protecting players’ data and transactions. Players at PlayNow casino can also access responsible gaming tools, such as deposit and time limits and short-term account lockouts.

Customer support is one of the best features at PlayNow casino, and is easily available via phone support, live chat, email and FAQs. The support team can be reached by phone between 7am and midnight (PT) every day, while live chat is available 24/7. The FAQs section is equally helpful and extensive, and covers different categories to assist with a variety of potential inquiries and concerns.

Overall, PlayNow casino’s customer support is consistently reliable, and offers no shortage of options for getting any issue or question you may need resolved in a timely and friendly manner. The one downside is that it is only available in English.
