NETENT in Canada

Why is there only a couple casinos online that allow people in Canada to play NETENT slots?

I believe that the restrictions could be on the game provider side, actually. Usually the casinos need to follow the rules somehow, and they cannot do much about it if Netent is not allowed.

Are the casinos where you find your favourite slots okay when it comes to their safety, though?

There is only a few NETENT games I actually play(Gonzos quest, Starburst) so I usually play at casinos that have pragmatic, playngo, relax, betsoft(Rooks Revenge is a decent knock off of Gonzos quest) and microgaming/games global). As far as the casinos I play at that actually have NETENT games, one of them is ran by the government of Alberta, so I would assume it's legit, but NETENT is the only big provider they have, the rest of there slots are games that I used to play on VLTs, 15 years ago. And the only other casino I've been able to play NETENT at is Goldwin, they are legit, but they take there sweet ass time to cash people out, and there is a $100 minimum to cashout.

I've seen Gonzos quest at other casino's but they werent using NETENT, I forget the providers name that they were using, but it's a little suspicious.

Oh, okay, I see. You are really into online gaming, right? The main thing is to look at it as a hobby and nothing more, and then I beleive it really could be fun.

May I ask what the reasonable time is to wait for a withdrawal, in your opinion?🤔

What do you mean that it is a little suspicious, though? Maybe they do not have good relations with Netent, or the fees are high for them.🤷‍♀️ I am just speculating, of course.

You kind of answered your own question there.

one of them is ran by the government of Alberta..

Government deals usually come with an exclusivity agreement. That's why here, in Manitoba, I can't play IGT games anywhere except for casinos/bars licensed by our gaming commission, as PlayNow (BC and Manitoba) have exclusive rights to their library; which sucks major ass, as most of the games they offer are from 2021 or earlier.

Ah, Goldwin. I used to enjoy playing there. Almost all of their games with >96% RTP and I could also play NetEnt, which also made them very sus in my eyes.

While they did take forever to pay (over a week in some cases), they always did eventually pay up. I just made sure I stayed away from there until they did, as you know they were just waiting for you to cancel it so they could start the 5-day processing all over again.

Once they changed operators, however, I quit playing there. I also stopped playing at West Casino and never deposited at any of their obvious sister casinos. They dropped RTP, some games stopped loading, and I couldn't get a straight answer from support about anything.

On a side note, they do seem to be running the 96% versions of games again. Still wouldn't trust em, though.

Hey guys, I have to say it's really frustrating how many platforms are using fake games these days. It seems like it's become the norm now. You can hardly rely on the honesty and transparency of the games anymore.

I wouldn't say they're using fake games, as EveryMatrix is probably the biggest gaming aggregator in the world. I don't think they'd risk their business for the short term benefit that fake games would bring.

May I ask what the reasonable time is to wait for a withdrawal, in your opinion?🤔

Two days, max.

If fully verified, shouldn't take longer than 24-hours.

We're in a day and age where money is transferred instantly. As fast as they receive the money, they should be able to send it back.

The fact that some casinos are capable of this while others seemingly take the better part of a week, shows that the delays are ALWAYS a stalling tactic; either in the hopes you cancel and play it down or to give their "finance" department time to find a potential rule violation.

I understand that some casinos may have this tactic, but I wouldn't always consider it a problem if the withdrawals are even longer. A lot of other factors can come into it. You eliminated verification because you mentioned a case where you are verified, but I still think you have encountered more than one technical problems with the casino. If they are just stretching the time to cancel and lose the balance, I think that's unserious and the casinos will just lose more players, which probably doesn't make much sense for them. But I know it can happen from time to time, especially when a third party provider is in trouble. It's sometimes hard to explain to players because they are writing to the casino and not specifically to the mentioned party which is processing the request. Sometimes it would be important for players to understand such things as well. Of course, I agree that if the casino is not honest then we can talk about different tactics like you mentioned. 

However, I can think of another great example, when I send money to someone from my bank, sometimes it can't be processed even in one day, which nowadays I also find quite inconvenient. Then I understand that when casinos have a problem, it's not pleasant.
