Gigadat links a Canadian bank account to the casino cashier through Interac, so money moves bank to casino in CAD, and each Gigadat casino sets its own limits.
Money flow
A Gigadat deposit leaves your Canadian bank through Interac and lands in CAD within 30 minutes. The trip back to your account can take up to 3 business days.
The route starts in the casino cashier. You choose Gigadat, enter an amount in CAD and are redirected to a secure bank-login page that runs through Interac, where you sign in to your own Canadian bank and authorise the transfer before returning to a balance that is usually credited at once and at the latest within 30 minutes. No card or e-wallet sits in the middle, so the money moves straight from your account to the casino. That is also why some Canadian banks occasionally block the transfer when they flag it as gambling.
A Gigadat casino withdrawal runs the other way and takes longer. You request the payout in the cashier, the casino approves it on its own schedule, and only then are the funds sent back to the same bank account, which the published terms put at anywhere from a few hours to 3 business days depending on the operator. The exact screens and the order of checks differ from one casino to the next, so read the cashier page of the site you picked instead of assuming it matches the last one you used.
The range of Gigadat limits is wide because each casino sets its own floor and ceiling inside what your bank allows. The table puts each published figure next to the place where you can confirm it.
| Metric | What to expect | Where to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum deposit | C$10–20, depending on the casino | Casino cashier |
| Maximum deposit | Often C$3,000 per transfer (bank limit); casino-dependent | Cashier and your bank |
| Deposit crediting | Instant to 30 minutes | Cashier confirmation |
| Minimum withdrawal | C$10–50, depending on the casino | Cashier withdrawal page |
| Maximum withdrawal | C$2,500–3,000 per day at some casinos | Casino payment terms |
| Payout time | A few hours to 3 business days | Casino payment terms |
| Fees | Service about C$1 or less; casinos often 0%; your bank may charge its own fee | Cashier and your bank's fee schedule |
| Currency | CAD only | Cashier |
Among Gigadat casino fees, the service charge of about C$1 or less is the part you can predict. Your bank's own fee does not appear in the casino rules. There is no figure.
The daily cap deserves the same caution once a slot bonus is involved. Casea's welcome package carries x20 and states that "wagering applies to the deposit and bonus amount", so a C$100 deposit with the 350% match becomes C$450 × 20 = C$9,000 in bets. If that run ended with a C$7,500 balance at a casino with a C$2,500 daily cap, one payout would become three separate days of requests. Compare the cashier wording with the bonus terms on maximum cashout before you deposit, because a capped withdrawal and a capped bonus win can stack.
Interac e-Transfer is the closest relative, since both move money from a Canadian bank account. With Gigadat, the casino handles the redirect and the bank login inside its own cashier, while a plain e-Transfer depends on whether the casino offers it directly. Cards and e-wallets work on different mechanics, and the differences show up more clearly when you withdraw than when you deposit.
| Method | Typical strength | Typical catch |
|---|---|---|
| Gigadat | Direct bank link through Interac, settled in CAD | CAD only; some banks block gambling transfers |
| Interac e-Transfer | Familiar bank-to-bank transfer | Availability and caps vary by casino and bank |
| Visa/Mastercard | Card details only, no bank login | Card issuers may decline gambling payments; card withdrawals are not offered at every casino |
| Skrill | Separate wallet keeps the bank out of the casino record | Needs its own account and funding before the deposit |
| Neteller | Wallet balance can serve several casinos | Separate account; conversion applies if the wallet is not in CAD |
| PayPal | Widely known wallet with its own login | Not available at every casino |
Whichever method you lean towards, check the bonus terms before the first deposit. Some operators list payment methods that do not qualify for a welcome offer, and that wording sits in the bonus rules rather than in the cashier.

How it works
Gigadat moves CAD between your Canadian bank and the casino through Interac. Most answers depend on two parties: your bank and the casino cashier.
Common questions
You approve the transfer through your own Canadian bank login via Interac, so your card numbers never reach the casino. How safe it is in practice also depends on the protections your bank offers. It also depends on whether you play at a licensed casino.
In the usual flow you do not open a separate wallet. You choose Gigadat or Interac in the cashier, log in to your online banking and approve the payment there. Casinos label the option differently, so confirm the exact steps in the cashier before your first deposit.
Payouts take from a few hours up to 3 business days. The casino decides where in that range you land, because its own approval queue comes before the bank transfer. Weekends and holidays do not count as business days, so a request sent on Friday can take longer.
The service fee is about C$1 or less. Casinos often charge 0%, although some set their own rule. Your bank may also charge for the transfer, so check the fee line in the cashier and your bank's price list before you move money.
Some Canadian banks block gambling transactions outright. A transfer above the bank limit, often C$3,000 per transfer, will also fail. Try a smaller amount or another method such as Visa/Mastercard. You can also ask your bank or casino support which side stopped the payment.
