LeoVegas Casino Review

DISCLAIMER:  OFFERS NOT AVAILABLE FOR ONTARIO RESIDENTS

LeoVegas was founded in 2011 and has quickly become one of the biggest gambling brands in the world. The Swedish site is known around the world for, operating a great online casino. In 2022, LeoVegas and its great casino entered the Ontario market when it was granted a licence by iGaming Ontario and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. In just one short year, LeoVegas has emerged as one of the best online casinos.

LeoVegas Casino is the marquee product of the LeoVegas Casino Group. This online gambling conglomerate is owned by MGM Resorts International and also owns many other online casinos around the world, including Royal Panda Casino, which is available in Ontario. Both the LeoVegas Casino Group and MGM Resorts International are huge names in the world of online gambling, so LeoVegas Casino is a brand you can trust. This is great news for Canadian gamblers. 

The LeoVegas Casino games library contains over 1,000 casino games including tons of new releases and exclusive titles that you will not be able to find when you play at other online casinos in Ontario. This number of games means that there is always a chance to find something new or explore a new title.

The LeoVegas Casino website is a simple website with an attractive orange and white theme accented with the occasional green button alerting you to special events or games.

On the LeoVegas website, you will find all 1,000+ LeoVegas Casino games broken down by game type. You will also find at the top of the screen tabs taking you to the LeoVegas Live Casino and the LeoVegas Sportsbook, which each have their own websites.

In addition to separating games by type, the site allows you to search for games by title and games provider. This is nice but unfortunately not enough. LeoVegas would greatly benefit from allowing you to better filter games by things like theme, number of lines, exclusivity, etc.

There is some of this on the home page, but once you click the game type (e.g., slots), you are taken to a page with every game under that category. There is no way to filter or sort games on that page. 

While there are a lot of positives to be said about the simple and attractive design of the LeoVegas Casino website, the site would be a lot better if you could more easily sort through the huge number of games LeoVegas offers.

LeoVegas Casino boasts a gaming library of more than 1,000 casino games. As you will see below, this library includes slots, table games, live casino games, and game shows. Unfortunately, there are some gaming categories where LeoVegas Casino is lacking.

Slot Games

Slot games dominate the LeoVegas gaming library. The total library itself has close to 1100 games. At time of writing 1003 of those games are slots. However, this could change soon since LeoVegas is always updating its game library to ensure you are getting the best games available at any one time. 

Popular slot games you can play at LeoVegas Casino right now include Book of Dead, Wolf Gold, Amazing Link Zeus, and 9 Masks of Fire.

Progressive Jackpots

Unfortunately, LeoVegas Casino does not currently have any progressive jackpot games available. This is a major negative as progressive jackpots are some of the most popular online slots in Canada.

The EU-version of LeoVegas Casino has a great number of progressive jackpot games, so we hope to see this addressed soon on the site.

Table Games and Video Poker Games

Video table games and video poker are another area where LeoVegas Casino could improve. The site has plenty of blackjack, roulette, and baccarat games available. However, many other casino sites in Canada have more. Additionally, there are no poker games available outside of the live casino. 

Game Shows and Other Games

While LeoVegas falls short with its table games and progressive jackpot offerings, they meet expectations with the amount of game shows and other casino games available on the site. 

You can play a wide range of fun, specialty games including Funky Time, Sweet Bonanza Candyland, and Deal or No Deal. It is worth noting that most of these games are only available in the LeoVegas live casino.

Live Casino Games

In addition to fun game shows, the LeoVegas live casino has a wide variety of live table games. These games include blackjack, poker, roulette, craps, and baccarat. Many of these games are LeoVegas exclusives. 

LeoVegas Casino offers you the chance to play tons of great casino games. Unfortunately, the games offered are a little lopsided. We would like LeoVegas Casinos games selection if it included more progressive jackpots, table games, and video poker offerings. While the sheer number of games is good, more variety would be welcomed.

Every online casino gets its casino games from other companies. The companies that provide games to online casinos are aptly called game software providers. These software providers licence their games out to casinos.

A lot of online casinos have just a few software providers. This is not always a bad thing, but generally speaking, it is better to have more. This is because more providers means more variety for casino customers to enjoy. 

LeoVegas Casino not only has tons of software providers, but it also is partnered with many of the best software providers in the world. 

Here are three of the biggest LeoVegas software providers picked out of the dozens that LeoVegas uses:

Microgaming: Since being founded in 1994, Microgaming has become the king of online slots in the world. Their games regularly payout huge jackpots and are in virtually every reputable online casino.

Evolution Gaming: Evolution is another king in its field. However, unlike Microgaming, Evolution is the king of live casino games.

Pragmatic Play: Pragmatic Play is another industry leader in online slots. More recently, it has made its name for its fun and interesting library of game shows.

Microgaming, Evolution, and Pragmatic Play are just three of the great software providers used by LeoVegas Casino. While we had a bone to pick with some of the games offered at LeoVegas, we cannot deny they are using some of the best software providers in the world.

The banking options at LeoVegas Casino are best described as hit or miss.

The hits include fast deposits and withdrawals with reasonable minimum requirements and no fees. Deposits require a $10 minimum and are processed instantly. Withdrawals have a $20 minimum requirement and almost always take just a few business days.

The misses with LeoVegas Casinos banking options are the actual options available. You can make deposits with Visa, MasterCard, Interac, NeoSurf, or bank transfers. Withdrawals can only be made using Interac, iDebit, MuchBetter, or direct bank transfers. The number of options available for both deposits and withdrawals is well below what we would expect from a top online casino.

Visa and Mastercard: You can use your Visa card or your Mastercard to easily deposit money into your LeoVegas casino account.

Interac e-Transfer: This is an easy way that gamblers can move money from their bank account to their casino account. It is only available in Canada and a really solid option for bettors throughout the country. 

E-wallets: E-wallets like MuchBetter offer a third party option where gamblers can keep money online. This is an option for those that have trouble moving money directly from their bank accounts.

Direct Bank Transfers: This works exactly as it sounds. You can transfer money directly from your bank  account into your LeoVegas account, however it may be costly and slow compared to other options. 

When you take everything into account, the LeoVegas Casino banking options are just okay. LeoVegas should consider adding more payment and withdrawal options.

An online casino’s best features are the only thing some people look at. Because of this, it is very important that an online casino has strong and unique key features.

Here are some of the strong and unique aspects of LeoVegas Casino: 

LeoVegas Casino app

While many new online casinos have come into Canada, very few have apps for both Android and iOS devices. LeoVegas does. Not only that, the LeoVegas Casino app actually feels like an app made for a mobile device. You can get to all your favourite games quickly in a very natural way. 

Legal to play in Ontario

LeoVegas Casino is licensed by iGaming Ontario and the AGCO. This makes it completely legal to play in Ontario. This is a major strong point that separates LeoVegas from the many other online casinos who still operate in Ontario illegally or as “grey market” sites. For the rest of Canada, LeoVegas is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority.

Easy to reach customer support

With a great live chat option and an email that is checked regularly, this is an area where LeoVegas stands out above the rest. This is one of the biggest positives about playing at LeoVegas as you never feel abandoned when faced with any issue.

Live casino with games from many software providers

We already discussed LeoVegas Casinos huge variety of software providers. One thing we did not discuss is how many providers LeoVegas uses just for its live casino. Most online casinos will use one of the big names and that is it. LeoVegas uses close to half a dozen providers for its live casino. 

These features are by far some of the strongest in Canada and are a major reason why LeoVegas Casino is rated so highly.

Rating - 4.8/5

LeoVegas Casino is one of the most trusted online casinos in the country. The site has more than a decade of experience in the online gambling industry and is partnered with huge brands inside and outside the online gambling industry, such as Manchester City, Inter Milan, and MGM Resorts International. 

Furthermore, LeoVegas is completely legal to play in Ontario thanks to its licence from iGaming Ontario and the AGCO. Outside of Ontario, the site has licences from the government of Sweden, UK Gambling Commission, and Malta Gaming Authority, among many others. This makes it a great option for anyone concerned with reputation.

Finally, LeoVegas is very transparent about their business practices and the efforts they go to in order to protect your data, such as data encryption for personal and financial information.

Rating - 5/5

As we detailed in the top features section, the LeoVegas Casino App may be the best thing about LeoVegas Casino purely because of how convenient and easy-to-use it is.

Many online casinos in Ontario do not even have casino apps. The casinos that have apps usually have apps that are basically identical to the desktop site. This can be nice, but we think it is much better to have an app actually designed for a mobile device. LeoVegas Casino does this.

The LeoVegas Casino app feels like an app in all the best ways possible. If you would prefer to have a mobile experience more similar to the desktop site, you can use the LeoVegas mobile site, which is pretty much just a more compact LeoVegas desktop site.

This is a great selling point for LeoVegas Casino. If you’re someone that likes to use a phone or tablet, check out the LeoVegas Casino app as it’s one of the best on the market at delivering an exceptional casino experience.

Creating your LeoVegas Casino account is a super simple process that you should be able to complete in less than 20 minutes. Follow the guide below to create your account and get started with LeoVegas Casino now.

Rating - 4.7/5

As you would expect at such a big and well-supported online casino, LeoVegas has a great customer support system. The system features a 24/7 live chat function that allows you to speak to a real person in minutes. Additionally, you can leave a message in the chat for later or reach out via email at support-on@leovegas.com.

The site also has a help centre with FAQs and answers to help you troubleshoot issues on your own. Most of the time, this is a good resource, but it could be updated to include more comprehensive answers.

With all the options available, we feel confident that most people will have a good experience dealing with LeoVegas Casino customer support. If LeoVegas wanted to go above and beyond, they could add a phone number for the Ontario market.

Rating - 4.7/5

LeoVegas Casino lives up to its big reputation in many ways. The casino site’s huge selection of 1,000+ games, live casino, and easy-to-use app make it really stand out in a crowded market.

However, there are many areas LeoVegas Casino can improve.  First and foremost, we would love to see LeoVegas add more progressive jackpots and table games. After that, the site would be improved by adding more payment options.

Final Rating: 4.1/5
