Transition: now a compact FAQ that answers the most common Canadian questions.

## Mini-FAQ (Canadian players)
Q: Are casino winnings taxed in Canada?
A: Generally no for recreational players — winnings are treated as windfalls; only professional gamblers might be taxed as business income.

Q: Which payments should I expect for VIP withdrawals?
A: Interac e-Transfer, iDebit/Instadebit and bank wire are common; VIPs sometimes get priority for bank wire/express processing.

Q: Is playing on offshore sites illegal for Canadians?
A: Not strictly illegal for players, but provincial regulation and protection vary; Ontario’s licensed market and provincial sites (e.g., PlayAlberta/AGLC) offer stronger consumer protection.

Q: How quickly should a verified VIP expect a payout?
A: Expect 24–72 hours for standard withdrawals if KYC is complete; larger sums may take longer for AML checks.

Q: What games count most toward clearing VIP bonus play?
A: Typically slots (100%), live dealer and table games often contribute less (10–20%); Book of Dead, Wolf Gold, Big Bass Bonanza are popular slot choices.

Transition: last practical tip and closing remarks.

If you want a taste of how reliable VIP programs behave under test, do a mid-sized deposit (C$100–C$500), use Interac on Rogers or Bell, and attempt a C$100 withdrawal before you chase a tier — that small real-world test saves big headaches.
