Our verdict

Golden Nugget runs on the DraftKings platform and pairs a library of more than 4,400 games and two opt-in progressive jackpots with a low C$5 deposit, PayPal support that is uncommon in Ontario, and a C$1 minimum withdrawal. The trade-offs are a short Ontario track record since the August 2025 launch and middling cashout times: withdrawals typically take up to five business days to process before Interac adds one to three more. Its player review rating is poor, though the iOS and Android apps rate well.
