The catalogue
The lobbies, and why the name on the door tells you least
Almost every casino that accepts Canadian players runs on a platform it licenses from somebody else, so a hundred questions about a hundred brands collapse into a dozen questions about a dozen platforms. This page says which platform sits behind which lobby.

Sixty lobbies, a dozen engines
The home page of this site makes the structural point in a paragraph: a lobby is rented rather than built, and the "engine" behind it decides more than the name above it, so that the question a reader should be asking changes shape. This page does the counting that the principle implies (brand by brand, engine by engine). A reader choosing an account is better served by a census than by a principle, and the census is what follows.
Four engines carry the great majority: of the fifty-seven brands in our index that accept players from Canada, almost all of them sit on one of the four (Games Global, Casino Rewards, SkillOnNet, and the pair of "white-label" engines behind Rooster and SoftSwiss). Twelve are on Games Global, fourteen belong to the Casino Rewards group, four run on "SkillOnNet", and nine arrive through the Rooster Partners "white label" on a SoftSwiss base, the remainder are singletons with engines of their own, which is to say Videoslots, LuckyDays and Amazon Slots (the last of them on Jumpman, and registered in Ontario through The Six Gaming Limited).
The counting has an immediate use for a reader. It is not tidy-mindedness, because it changes what a reader should be comparing and it shortens the work of comparing it. It means that a reader who has already formed a view of one brand on an engine has, without knowing it, formed a view of eleven or thirteen others. It means too that the comparison worth making between them lies entirely elsewhere.
Where it lies is the account. The four boxes on every card here are our attempt to put that in front of a reader before he registers rather than after (the only moment at which the information is worth anything to him).
What the shelf does not tell you
A lobby would rather be judged on its "exclusive" titles, of which there are very few, than on the engine it rents. The marketing is arranged accordingly. The word on a live floor usually means a branded table in a shared "studio", and on the slot shelf it usually means a title an operator funded for a period of weeks (six, in the deals that get described).
Our links here are commercial and the buttons say so, which is a disclosure rather than a defence. What a payment cannot alter is which platform a brand runs on, because that is a licensing fact recorded in the operator's own material (and in the footer of its site) and in the register of its licence, where the "verification tool" of the Malta Gaming Authority's verification tool lists the domains a given licence covers.
Nobody here has opened an account to count the games in a lobby, and no sentence on this site will say otherwise, because a count nobody made is worth less than a count somebody declines to make. Our counts come from the operators' own material and from our asset register with the date of the reading attached, and they appear as ranges because the sources disagree, sometimes by several hundred titles (a spread that tells you how firm a game count is).
We would rather give you a range with its provenance than a single number with an air of authority!

What a platform decides
The first thing it decides is the "build" of each game (the least understood fact in the trade, and the one with the largest consequences). A slot title is not one object: the "studio" ships several versions of it, with different "return to player" settings, and the operator licenses one of them. Two lobbies can therefore serve the identical title at different returns, and neither lobby is doing anything improper.
The second is the "wallet" and what it is denominated in, which on this site is the question that comes before every other one. A platform that supports a Canadian dollar wallet lets an operator hold a "balance" in the player's own currency; one that does not forces a conversion on the way in and on the way out, which on this site is the difference that matters most, since the spread runs at about two and a half per cent each way on the amount crossing.
The third is the "lobby feed", meaning the list of titles the platform exposes and the flags on each one: whether a game may be opened without funds, whether it counts towards a "wagering requirement", whether it is available in a given jurisdiction. Those flags are set per title (one row of a feed each), which is why a reader cannot assume that a game he saw yesterday is open to him today.
The fourth is the live floor, which the platform brokers rather than builds; the studios behind the tables are described on their own page, because the relationship deserves more room than a paragraph.
- Yes — read at the source and working as described
- Partly — it exists, with a condition that matters
- No — it does not exist, or the rules forbid it
- Not verified — we looked and could not establish it, and we say so
The platforms we actually see
Games Global carries the largest group in our index, and the brands on it (All Slots, Euro Palace, Gaming Club, Grizzly's Quest, Jackpot City, Lucky Nugget, Platinum Play, Royal Vegas, Ruby Fortune, Spin Casino and the rest) share a licence family as well as an engine: Alderney category one for the company Baytree (Alderney) Limited, with a Kahnawake permit numbered 00892 alongside.
The Casino Rewards group is the other large block, and it is unusual in running one "loyalty" scheme across all fourteen brands, so that a player's standing follows him between them. Seven of those brands hold an Ontario registration through Apollo Entertainment Ltd, and the same seven appear on the Alberta register under names the province writes with its own prefix.
SkillOnNet supplies Mega Casino, Prime Casino, Prime Slots and Spin Genie, all four under the same Malta licence (MGA/CRP/171/2009/01, issued to Skill On Net Limited), with a "multi-provider" catalogue of slots and third-party live tables; our register names the platform without naming the live studio, and we leave it at that rather than completing the field ourselves.
Videoslots stands alone, with the widest library of the index on its own account, and LuckyDays runs a multi-"provider" catalogue under a Curaçao licence (numbered OGL/2024/1675/0903) beside a Kahnawake permit.
What this changes for a reader choosing
It changes the order of the questions a reader should be asking, and the order matters more than the answers. Instead of asking which lobby has the better games, a reader can ask which platform behaves the way he wants and then choose among its brands on the account alone. That first question cannot be answered from outside, and it would not stay true if it could.
On the account the differences are real and checkable: the currency the balance is held in, whether a Canadian "landing page" exists, whether a provincial site exists for his province, the payment routes and the days a "withdrawal" takes. Those are the fields on our cards, and they are the ones a lobby cannot change by swapping a banner.
It also means that a reader who is already comfortable somewhere has less to gain from moving than the marketing suggests; a new brand on a familiar platform is a new account rather than a new casino, while a move to a different platform is worth considering on its own terms.
We think that is the most useful thing this page can leave you with (it is also the least flattering to us, since it makes a comparison site smaller than it likes to look), and it is the opposite of what a lobby wants you to conclude.

Where our knowledge of the catalogues stops
The Games Global brands answer a request from outside Canada with a refusal (an HTTP "403", the server declining an address rather than a person), so their lobbies could not be opened from this desk and nothing here describes what they contain today. The same applies to the counts, the flags and the availability of any single title.
Our asset register holds what the operators' own material states, with dates, and nothing more. For Betway it records "Betway platform (Super Group)" and notes that no factsheet was supplied, which is a shorter entry than the others (four words against a paragraph) and is shown as such rather than padded out!
What survives all of that is the structure: a lobby is assembled from a platform and a set of studios (both rented), the platform decides the behaviour, and the account is the part the casino actually owns, which is where a reader who wants a comparison he can check should be looking. A reader who carries that into a lobby will read it better than a reader carrying a ranking.
A reader who wants the whole list, with the licence of every brand and the column that says which rows carry a link, will find it on the index of the casinos.
Questions readers ask
Why do two different casinos feel the same?
Because they are the same "platform" (the software that holds the games, the account and the wallet) wearing different colours. Twelve brands in our index run on Games Global and fourteen on the Casino Rewards group, and the behaviour a player meets when he opens a game belongs to the platform rather than to the brand.
Does the platform decide the return of a game?
It decides which "build" of a game the lobby serves, and a build carries its own return: the same title exists in several versions, and the version a casino licensed is not written anywhere a player can see. That is the reason this site treats a published return as a property of a lobby rather than of a game.
Where are the game counts from?
From the operators' own material and from the asset register of this site, with the date of the reading, which is why they appear as ranges rather than as single numbers. Videoslots puts its own library above ten thousand titles; Jackpot City's material gives between one thousand three hundred and one thousand seven hundred depending on the source.
Can I try the games without an account?
At some lobbies and not at others, and the answer belongs to the platform rather than to the brand, which is the whole argument of this page in one line. We have not been able to open the Games Global lobbies from outside Canada, so we do not say what they allow.
