Casino.online expands its offer for Canadian users
Casino.online is a company that started in the DACH region and is now growing in the UK, Japan, US, and Canada. It is a company that offers online gaming, lottery, and sports betting. New players from Canada are not the only ones happy about the new online gambling regulations in their home country. The market is booming for international operators like Casino.online, which has just unveiled a brand-new version of its website, especially for Canadians.
With this move, Casino.online has become one of the first and most successful operators that acknowledges and addresses the needs of Canadian gamblers. Now they can enjoy all the best games from their own country and begin a new, more exciting chapter in their love affair with the slots in general and with specialties such as Video Poker or Multi-line Slots that have great potential to become even more popular with Canadian players than they are right now.
Check out the new Casino.online platform
The new Casino.online website is designed to be easy to use and navigate and to provide a top-level user experience. The site is completely responsive, so it will automatically adjust to look good on any device or browser, including mobile devices. The design and colors of the site are elegant and inviting, with a focus on Slots as the main attraction. The top-level menu will help you find everything easily and quickly. Some other features might make a difference to you. This is even more important to Canadian players since they will be able to access the site without having to download or register an account – which is not allowed by the laws in their country. This makes the experience smoother and more convenient for everyone.
Welcome bonus for new players
The rules of the welcome bonus for new players are straightforward, which is not surprising since the operator wants to make sure that Canadians get the most out of the generous offer. The first thing you should do is to sign up with your email address and name. After registering, you will receive an email with a link to activate your account and make your first deposit. The minimum deposit is CAD 40 and you can choose to have the bonus added to your account immediately. This will give you a nice head start for your future gambling activities.
200% match bonus for all new users!
The welcome bonus is a one-time gift, but the operator has prepared something even better for all the new players who want to experience the best Slots games at Casino.online. The operator is offering a 200% match bonus to the first deposit on the first five consecutive days! The maximum bonus amount is CAD 800, which is quite a lot. You can withdraw your winnings after you have gambled through the bonus amount five times.
VIP program for loyal Canadian players
A VIP program is a very popular feature among online casinos and a great way to reward loyal players. The Casino.online VIP program is not yet available, but the operator is planning to introduce it soon. The program will include rewards for loyal players, such as bonuses and special offers.
Casino.online has been one of the best gambling sites for years, but it has also always been one of the most popular sites for Canadian gamblers. The new platform will give players even more reasons to love this casino. The new design is modern and sleek, and the site will be fully responsive so that it will look great on any device. Now Canadian players can access their favourite slot games without having to download any software. The new platform will also have an improved loyalty program and new games.

Bragg Gaming Group Enteres into New Financing Agreement with Bank of Montreal

Bragg Gaming Group, a leading global B2B iGaming content and technology provider, announced it has entered into a new financing agreement with the Bank of Montreal (BMO), a leading North American financial institution, pursuant to which BMO has made available to the Company certain credit facilities in a maximum aggregate amount of up to US$6.0 million to support its ongoing working capital and general corporate requirements (the BMO Facilities).
In connection with the closing of the BMO Facilities, Bragg has successfully repaid in full the outstanding promissory note with entities controlled by Doug Fallon (the Prior Note Indebtedness). The new BMO Facilities replace the Prior Note Indebtedness, signalling a significant step in the Company’s financial strategy to partner with a major commercial bank to support its growth.
“We are very pleased to establish this new relationship with the Bank of Montreal, a recognized leader in financial services. This new credit facility strengthens our balance sheet and provides us with a flexible capital structure to execute our strategic plan. The ability to secure financing from a major North American bank underscores the confidence in our business and our long-term growth prospects. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with BMO,” said Robbie Bressler, CFO of Bragg Gaming Group.
The BMO Facilities are secured by, amongst other things, a first-ranking security interest over all of the assets of the Company and certain of its key operating subsidiaries, and are uncommitted and are repayable upon the earlier of (i) demand by BMO, (ii) the occurrence of certain insolvency events, and (iii) on the one-year anniversary of the closing date, unless a one-year extension is granted at BMO’s discretion.
The agreement includes customary legal and financial covenants, including a requirement for the Company to maintain a Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio not exceeding 2.50:1.00, and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25:1.00. These financial covenants are to be tested on a consolidated basis at the end of each fiscal quarter.
The Company currently expects to draw on the BMO Facilities in Canadian dollars, which would result in estimated borrowing costs of 6.9%–7.9% for Prime-based loans or 5.9%–6.9% for CORRA-based loans, depending on the period of the draw and the Company’s leverage ratio. Standby fees on the unused portion of the revolving facility will range from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum, depending on leverage.
Management believes that based on the terms of the BMO Facilities, the Company’s borrowing costs on an annualized basis will be less than half of its Prior Note Debt.
Matevž Mazij, CEO of Bragg Gaming Group, said: “Securing this BMO facility represents a critical milestone in our strategic plan to strengthen Bragg’s financial foundation and accelerate value creation for our shareholders. With our cybersecurity incident contained and our borrowing costs cut by more than half, we are laser-focused on executing our strategic shift toward higher-quality earnings. The Company is prioritizing margin and cash generation over lower-margin revenue, and synergies realized post-quarter end to become a leaner operation. We’ve already realized EUR 2 million in annualized synergies and are on track to achieve our 20% Adjusted EBITDA margin target for the second half of 2025.
“Our recent leadership additions in AI and innovation, combined with our expanding partnerships with operators like Fanatics and Hard Rock Digital, position us to pursue highly accretive growth opportunities methodically. The Company remains focused on growing the business in a sustainable and margin-accretive manner, with strong momentum in the proprietary content and technology pipeline positioning Bragg for long-term profitable growth.
“We understand the importance of delivering results for our shareholders, and our board and management team are fully aligned and committed to executing the strategic initiatives that will drive value. With improved financial flexibility, a strengthened operational foundation, and clear milestones ahead, we believe we have the right strategy and team in place to unlock Bragg’s full potential. We remain committed to maximizing shareholder value as we build sustainable, profitable growth and ensure our strong operational performance translates into appropriate market valuation.”
Cyber Breach Update
The Company has also provided an update on its previously announced cybersecurity incident initially detected on August 16, 2025.
Immediately following detection, Bragg took appropriate steps to mitigate any potential impact of the breach. With the assistance of independent cybersecurity experts, the Company has followed industry best practices and considers that the incident is now resolved.
There continues to be no indication that any personal information was affected and the breach has had no impact on the ability of the Company to continue its operations. Bragg has also provided assurances to its customers regarding the security of its game titles. The Company has experienced no negative impact on its revenue or profitability and does not expect that the cost of responding to the incident will have a material financial impact on the Company.
The Company has already applied knowledge gathered from the investigation of the event to enhance its cyber security defenses.

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.
Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.
Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.
Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.
Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.
Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.
“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”
Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.
“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
