Betty Minimum Deposit

The Betty minimum deposit in Canada is C$20 on every Interac and card route, C$10 through a wallet, C$30 on crypto and C$50 on a bank transfer. Those are the cashier's floors and they are the same whether you are a new account or a five-year regular.

The floor is not the interesting number, though. Three other numbers sit around it and each of them trips somebody up. The offer threshold, which is set separately and is often higher than the deposit minimum. The payout floor, which means a balance under C$20 cannot come back out at all. And your bank's own e-Transfer fee, which is trivial on a C$300 transfer and irritating on a C$20 one.

This page covers all four, method by method, with the numbers checked against the live cashier rather than lifted from a terms page. If you have not decided how you are funding the account yet, start with the Betty payment methods guide — the rail you choose to deposit on also decides how you get paid.

Debit cards: C$20, instant, and the credit card trap

Visa Debit and Mastercard debit both start at C$20 and both land instantly. Apple Pay and Google Pay sit on top of the same cards with the same floor, and they are the fastest way to fund an account from a phone because the card details are already there.

The thing to avoid is a credit card. Canadian issuers that allow a gambling deposit at all almost invariably code it as a cash advance: a flat fee of a few dollars, then interest from the moment it posts, with no grace period. On a C$20 minimum deposit that overhead can be a tenth of what you put in before you have spun anything. Look for the word "Debit" beside the logo; if it is not there, use a different card.

One asymmetry worth remembering while you are choosing: Visa Debit can receive a payout, Mastercard cannot. A C$20 Mastercard deposit will be paid back to you by Interac e-Transfer or bank transfer instead, which is not a problem, only a surprise if nobody said so.

Interac and bank rails

Interac e-Transfer is the default for good reason: C$20 minimum, instant in practice, nothing charged at the cashier, and it can send a payout back the other way. iDebit and Instadebit share the same C$20 floor and can also receive money. If you are looking for Interac Online, it is gone — Interac retired the product on 31 May 2024, and any page still listing it as a deposit option has not been updated since.

The one cost that catches people on a small deposit is on your side of the transaction. Some Canadian chequing accounts include a limited number of free Interac e-Transfers a month and charge roughly a dollar or two beyond that. On a C$20 deposit that is a real percentage. If you are on such a plan and you deposit little and often, either move to an unlimited plan or deposit less frequently in slightly larger amounts — the arithmetic is straightforward and it is your bank's fee, not the casino's.

Bank transfer is the outlier: C$50 in, C$50 out, and one to three business days at each end. There is very little reason to use it as a deposit route when e-Transfer exists, and it mostly turns up as the fallback the cashier uses when the rail you deposited on cannot pay you back.

Wallets: the only route to a C$10 deposit

MuchBetter, Neteller and Skrill all take C$10, which is the lowest floor available anywhere in the cashier. All three are instant, free, and able to receive a payout, which makes them genuinely useful for anyone who plays in small amounts and withdraws often.

The catch is what happens before the deposit. If your money starts in a Canadian chequing account, you have to move it into the wallet first, and that funding step carries its own timing and occasionally its own fee. Deposit C$10 having spent five minutes and a card charge topping up the wallet and you have not saved anything over a C$20 e-Transfer. The wallets earn their place when you keep a working balance in them, not when you top up per session.

Paysafecard sits apart from the rest: C$20 minimum, bought with cash at a corner store or gas station, redeemed as a PIN at the cashier. It is the only method here that does not touch your bank account at all, which is exactly why some people use it — and it cannot pay you back, so any winnings come out on another rail.

Every Betty minimum and maximum

Checked against the live cashier on 28 August 2026. Availability depends on which licence your account sits under — the Ontario and Alberta products carry a shorter approved list than the international one, so a method missing from your cashier is a regulatory decision rather than a fault. Your own bank or wallet may impose a lower ceiling than the column above.

The deposit floor is not the offer threshold

This is the single most expensive misunderstanding on the page, and it is entirely avoidable. The cashier minimum is set by the payments team; the qualifying amount for a welcome offer is set by the marketing team. They are frequently different numbers, and the offer one is usually higher.

The consequence is unforgiving. Deposit below the qualifying amount and the offer does not attach, and you cannot make it attach afterwards by topping up — the system looks at the single qualifying transaction, not at your running total. A second deposit is a second deposit, not a correction to the first.

A note specific to Ontario. Under the AGCO's advertising standards, operators and their affiliates are not permitted to publicly advertise bonuses and inducements to Ontario players — which is why a promotion you read about on a general Canadian page may simply not appear when you log in from Toronto. It has not been withdrawn and you have not been excluded; the offer is visible inside the account rather than on a public page. Alberta, regulated since 13 July 2026, is developing its own advertising rules under the Alberta iGaming Corporation, so expect the same pattern there over time.

A C$20 deposit in 60 seconds

The whole process, start to finish, as it runs on the current cashier. On a phone it is about a minute; the only part that varies is how quickly your banking app opens.

When a minimum deposit is refused

A refused C$20 deposit almost never has anything to do with the amount. The five causes below account for nearly all of them, and in every case the money stays in your account — what you may see for a day or two is a pending authorisation that then drops off by itself.

What a C$20 deposit looks like on your statement

Not as the casino's name. An Interac e-Transfer appears as a regular outgoing transfer to the payment processor's registered name — an abbreviated company name, often with a city, and usually nothing that reads as gaming. A card deposit shows as a purchase with a similar descriptor. Processors get rotated, so the exact string changes from time to time.

Two practical points. Identify a transaction by its amount and timestamp against your cashier history rather than by reading the descriptor, which is the only match that will reliably hold. And do not assume a neutral-looking descriptor means the transaction is invisible to your bank — the merchant category code underneath still says gambling, which is precisely how a bank-level block catches it. There is more detail on this, including what a payout looks like coming back, on the payment methods page.
