Interac e-Transfer, and why it dominates

Interac e-Transfer moves money directly between Canadian bank accounts using an email address or phone number as the destination. You authenticate at your own bank, so the casino never handles your banking credentials, and the money moves in Canadian dollars with no currency conversion. It is the default method for Canadian players for those reasons, and Mostbet lists it first in the cashier at a C$5 minimum.

  1. Open the cashier and choose Interac. It appears at the top of the deposit list in the app.
  2. Enter the amount. The minimum shown in the cashier is C$5.
  3. Sign in at your bank. You are redirected to your own bank’s page — check the address bar is your bank’s domain.
  4. Approve the transfer. Funds usually appear in the casino balance within a minute.
  5. Withdraw the same way. Payouts return to the account you deposited from, which is a regulatory requirement rather than a preference.

Every method in the cashier

Minimums below are the figures displayed in the Mostbet deposit screen. Payout speeds are the operator’s stated processing windows — your bank or the blockchain adds its own time on top, and neither is under the casino’s control.

Choosing between them

Best default

Interac e-Transfer

Canadian dollars end to end, no conversion, no card network, and the fastest published payout window. The reason it exists on every Canadian-facing cashier.

Fallback

iDebit and Instadebit

Bank-linked alternatives that work where e-Transfer is unavailable at your institution. Slower on the way out, and they add a middle layer to the transaction.

Watch the decline rate

Visa and Mastercard

Convenient when they work. Several Canadian issuers block gambling merchant codes outright, and cash advance fees can apply on credit cards even when the transaction succeeds.

Fastest out

Stablecoins

USDT and DAI move quickly and avoid the price swing between deposit and cash-out that Bitcoin exposes you to. You still need an exchange account to convert to dollars.

Volatile

Bitcoin and Ethereum

Fast and low-friction, but the value of a balance held in either can move materially between deposit and withdrawal. Network fees rise sharply during congestion.

Universal rule

Withdraw the way you deposited

Anti-money-laundering rules require payouts to return to the source of funds wherever possible. Depositing by card and expecting a crypto payout is the classic cause of a stalled withdrawal.

Payments — frequently asked questions

Is Interac e-Transfer safe for casino deposits?
The transfer itself is a standard Canadian bank-to-bank payment, authenticated at your own bank’s sign-in page. The casino never sees your banking credentials. What varies is the operator receiving the money, which is the part worth checking rather than the rail.
Why was my credit card declined?
Several Canadian issuers block gambling merchant category codes outright, and the decline happens at the bank rather than the casino. Interac e-Transfer or a crypto rail generally works where a card does not, because neither passes through a card network.
How long do withdrawals take?
Approval is the slow part, not the transfer. Mostbet states approved e-Transfer withdrawals are processed within 24 hours; crypto typically clears in under an hour once approved, and cards can take up to five business days. Unverified accounts add days at the approval stage.
Do I pay tax on gambling winnings in Canada?
For recreational players, no — casual gambling winnings are generally not taxable income in Canada. Professional gamblers whose play amounts to a business are treated differently. This is general information, not tax advice; consult an accountant about your own circumstances.
