Our verdict

Golden Nugget runs on the proven DraftKings platform and pairs a 2,000-plus game library and its own branded progressive jackpots with a low C$5 deposit, PayPal support that is uncommon in Ontario, and effectively no minimum on withdrawals. The trade-offs are a short Ontario track record since the August 2025 launch and cashout times that are middling, with Interac taking up to five business days. Player sentiment on Trustpilot is poor, though the iOS and Android apps rate well.

Well-rated iOS and Android apps and 24/7 human live chat

Cons

New to Ontario since August 2025, so a short local track record
Middling withdrawal speed, Interac up to 5 business days
