magicred, which shows CAD support and Interac in the cashier — and the paragraph below explains why deposit rails matter in practice.

The reason I mention a concrete option is practical: on a C$10 trial you want to avoid currency conversion fees and bank blocks, and platforms that support Interac e-Transfer or iDebit make that far more likely. For a hands-on trial, try a C$10 deposit, play medium-volatility slots like Book of Dead or Wolf Gold for at least 100 spins, and then request a small C$20 withdrawal to test KYC flow — platforms listing CAD and Interac (like magicred) usually pass that test faster.
