You'll soon see there are no wagering requirements for this casino – a refreshing change to many others and one of the reasons why players love PlayOJO so much. When you sign up and make your first deposit, you'll receive one of the best Canadian casino bonuses, depending on your location and once you have opted in. 

While the lack of wagering requirements is good to see, you should still read the small print before claiming.

The OJO's Specials area tells you more about the perks of being a member of one of the best legitimate online casinos in Canada. The link to this area is on the left side of the site. It is divided into three areas:

• OJOPlus
• The OJO Wheel
• Club OJO.

You can sign up by hitting the yellow JOIN NOW button on the home page. You'll need to complete your personal details first as you progress through the three signup steps. It's good to see a link to the live chat facility just to the right of the signup form, so if you get stuck, help is at hand.

The signup process takes just a couple of minutes. Canadian residents are required to validate their membership prior to using the site, even if only to play some free Canadian slots for practice. Verification might feel tiresome, but it shows how responsible and trustworthy the casino is as they meet its legal requirements.

If you need some help using the site, head for the help section in the main menu. You can take a tour of the site first (ideal if you're new). Underneath that, there is a huge section of FAQs, with several questions under each area. There is also a useful legend table which reveals the meaning of all the logos you might see on the site.

Underneath all that, you'll see you can contact the help team via email or (our favourite) live chat. You should log in to use this, available between 6 am and midnight.

Finally, at the bottom of the site, you'll see the casino is registered in Malta and operates under a license given by the UK Gambling Commission. They provide a link to the license, so you can check its current validity.

The bottom of the PlayOJO site has a link to a long page on this topic. This focuses on the need to play responsibly. There is a link to GamStop, a site you can register with to make it impossible for you to gamble at any online casino licensed in Great Britain. They also provide details of three cooling-off periods you can adopt, along with three temporary suspension time frames for the site. Self-exclusion follows from these methods. Add in five links to sites such as Gamblers Anonymous and Gambling Therapy Helpline and you can see the casino is doing all it can to provide information and support.

The link to the banking page at the bottom of the PlayOJO site gives you all the details you'll need about the Canadian casino payment methods, and depositing and withdrawing cash at the casino. One surprise is that there are no minimum withdrawal amounts for any of the methods. The cashier contains further details about any maximums in place.

Choose from the familiar suspects, such as Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, and more. They haven't provided any cryptocurrencies, although bank transfers and debit cards are included in the mix.

The small print at the foot of the site reveals this is a Skill on Net casino. However, there are many other big names providing games here, such as Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Bally, NetEnt, Evolution Gaming, Barcrest, and NYX.

With major developers such as NetEnt and Microgaming in the mix at PlayOJO, it's no surprise to learn you've got a far-ranging mix of games to try, including 700+ online slot games and 40+ blackjack games. Not many Canadian online blackjack casinos can boast about having that many games on its site. You can also expect all of the classics you'd find at top roulette sites, with 20+ roulette games to choose from.

There are also a few versions of baccarat to discover. If you go through to the card games area, that's where you'll find the video poker options (they're not included in the main menu). It's good to see the jackpot games in their own area, where the total progressive pot is updated live underneath that menu option. Jackpots for popular games including King Cashalot, Mega Moolah, and Cleopatra vary, but they can go well into three figures and even four or five.

All this, and you get one of the top live dealer casinos online too – easily accessed from the top of the games page. There are 66 assorted games to try from NetEnt and Evolution, so variety is certainly the spice of life at PlayOJO Casino. You can expect a first-class gaming experience from these providers, who supply the best live blackjack online casinos with their live games.

You'll find different varieties of roulette, live blackjack and even baccarat here. It's good to see all the most popular live game variants are included, yet each one comes in several varieties as well.

The mobile site has those same six gaming areas on the landing page when you arrive via a tablet or smartphone. Featured, new, and popular games are easy to see too. You don't need any of the casino apps in Canada for iOS, Android, or other devices. If you decide to sign up on a smartphone, the process for doing so takes you through one step at a time rather than trying to cram too much into view at the same time. A green bar at the bottom shows your progress. Of course, members can log in using the same username and password they would use on the desktop site.

The design is superb, featuring a quick menu to the left of the site with all the main links you could want. You can reach the games area from there, which is divided into six main areas. You also get to view the new casino games and there's a link to all the games if you don't want to miss out on anything. Another plus point for PlayOJO is that you can view the exciting game titles prior to deciding whether to join. They're not secretive on that count, which is good to see.

It's difficult to find any area where the PlayOJO team fails in its responsibilities and roles to provide a great-quality casino for those interested. With hundreds of games, plenty of action, a user-friendly format, and a juicy welcome bonus it's easy to get in touch with them too if you have any queries. Small wonder that PlayOJO Casino has won awards during its first two years in action. We suspect they may end up with some more soon as well.
