Six product areas sit under one account here: slots, live dealer tables, RNG table games, instant win and crash titles, video poker, and a sportsbook covering conventional sport and esports. Content comes from 115 studios, and the lobby filters by category, provider and mechanic.

The total game count is deliberately absent from that table. Published figures for this operator range from three thousand to ten thousand titles depending on the source, and no version can be confirmed from the lobby. The provider count and the per-category filters can be, so those are what appear here.

Live Dealer: Tables, Studios and Bet Ranges

The live section is the second-largest part of the catalogue and the one with the widest stake range. Tables stream in HD from several studios, with the bulk of the volume carried by Pragmatic Play Live and Playtech.

A note on which studios are actually present

Published reviews of this operator disagree about Evolution. Some list it among the live suppliers; at least one states explicitly that no Evolution titles are available. The list above reflects the studios confirmed in the live lobby at the date of this check, and Evolution is not among them. Studio line-ups change through commercial agreements, so the lobby filter is the authoritative source on any given day — not a review published months earlier.

A stake range running from C$0.10 to C$5,000 covers both ends of the market on the same tables, which is unusual at this size of operator. Popular titles named in the lobby include Mega Roulette, Speed Roulette, Gold Saloon Roulette, Blackjack Berlin and Adventures Beyond Wonderland.

Two conditions govern live play with a bonus running. Live games contribute 10% towards playthrough, so a C$1 bet advances the counter by C$0.10. And the maximum bet during playthrough drops to C$7.50 regardless of the table limit, which excludes most of the range shown above. The separate live cashback offer returns 25% of live losses up to C$300 at 1x playthrough and is claimed through support on Mondays — terms on the bonus page.

RNG Tables and Video Poker

The software table section runs independently of the live studios and covers the same families at lower stakes and faster pace.

Table games and bonus playthrough do not mix well

Blackjack and roulette contribute 10% towards playthrough; other table games contribute 5%. A C$100 deposit with a matching C$100 bonus requires C$7,000 of slot turnover to clear — but C$70,000 of blackjack action, or C$140,000 at the 5% rate, and all of it inside ten days with bets capped at C$7.50. Neither figure is reachable. Table players are structurally better served by the cashback route or by declining the bonus outright.

Instant Win and Crash Formats

The fastest-growing category on the platform and the one best suited to a phone screen. Rounds last seconds rather than minutes, and the decision structure differs from anything else in the catalogue.

AviatorSpribe — rising multiplier, manual or automatic cash-out
Olympus PlinkoBall drop across a pin field, payout by landing slot
Crash titlesTurbo Games and others — same multiplier structure
Scratch cardsInstant reveal, fixed prize table
KenoNumber selection against a draw
BingoTicket-based draw formats

Crash games work differently from a slot in one respect that matters. A multiplier climbs from the moment the round starts and can stop at any point; the player decides when to cash out, and a round taken too late returns nothing. That places the decision with the player rather than with the outcome, which is what makes the format engaging and also what makes it faster to lose on than a slot with the same stake.

Most crash titles include an automatic cash-out setting that closes the position at a chosen multiplier without further input. Setting it before the round begins removes the in-the-moment decision entirely, and for a fast-cycling format that is a meaningful control rather than a convenience feature.

Sportsbook and Esports Markets

A full sportsbook operates alongside the casino under the same account and balance, covering conventional sport, virtual sport and esports. Some published reviews of this brand state that no sportsbook exists; the betting section is present in the site navigation at the date of this check.

Conventional sport

  • Ice hockey and basketball, the primary Canadian markets
  • Football across major European leagues
  • Baseball, volleyball, golf and tennis
  • Horse racing with dedicated promotions
  • In-play betting and virtual sport

Esports

  • Counter-Strike
  • Dota 2
  • Call of Duty
  • Arena of Valor
  • Ten or more disciplines in total

Sportsbook cashback10% up to C$750Net losses over the period
Two Goals Ahead early payoutSettled as a winSelection two goals clear at any point
Sore Draw refund100% stake returnedQualifying match ends level

Sportsbook promotions run on a separate terms set from the casino offers, with different playthrough rules and different qualifying deposits. A casino bonus cannot be cleared through sports betting, and a sportsbook offer cannot be cleared on slots. Confusing the two pools is a routine cause of forfeited offers.

UpCoins, Levels and Achievements

A progression layer runs across every game in the catalogue, converting play into an internal currency that buys bonus funds and spins. It is the most distinctive feature of the platform and the part least documented elsewhere.

TransactionWhat it returnsPlaythrough on the result
Any deposit5% of the amount credited as UpCoins
50 UpCoinsC$7.50 in bonus funds40x over 7 days
30 UpCoins5 free spins at C$0.10 each40x over 7 days
UpCoinsFree bets for the sportsbookSportsbook terms apply

The exchange rate is the number that matters: fifty coins for C$7.50 means a C$150 deposit generates roughly C$1.13 of shop value at the entry rate, and larger exchanges improve the ratio. Everything bought carries 40x playthrough over seven days, so the shop dispenses promotional credit rather than cash. Coins also accrue from tournaments and events.

Level 10C$7.50 credited
Level 235 free spins
Level 100C$1,500 credited

The Level Up track runs to 100 tiers with rewards growing throughout, and progress is visible in the Levels tab. Alongside it sits an achievement set paying up to C$900 in total across all blocks, and those rewards carry only 1x playthrough — a material difference from the shop and from every deposit bonus on the platform. Achievements can be completed in any order.

Bonus Crab adds a claw-machine mechanic on top, funded by credits earned through play. None of this changes the mathematics of the games themselves; it changes how much promotional value a given volume of play returns. Loyalty tiers, cashback rates and the withdrawal ceilings tied to them are set out on the withdrawal page.

Stake Ranges Across the Catalogue

CategoryMinimum betMaximum bet
SlotsC$0.10Title dependent
Live roulette and blackjackC$0.10C$5,000
Live baccarat and pokerC$0.10C$3,000
RNG table gamesC$0.10C$100
Tournament qualifying betC$0.75

Every maximum in that table applies to real-money play only. While any casino bonus is active, the ceiling drops to C$7.50 across every category, and a single bet above it voids the bonus and the winnings attached to it. That one figure overrides all of the above and is the most common reason an otherwise successful playthrough is cancelled.

Playing across categories

Fast-cycling formats — crash titles, instant win and live tables — complete far more rounds per hour than a slot, which changes how quickly a balance moves in either direction. Deposit limits, loss limits and cool-off periods are set in the account settings and reductions apply immediately. Free confidential support in Canada is available through ConnexOntario and the Responsible Gambling Council; Alberta operates a centralised self-exclusion programme through AGLC covering every operator registered in the province.

Catalogue Questions

What games are available at PowerUp Casino?

Six areas run under one account: slots from 115 studios, more than 500 live dealer tables, over 150 RNG table games, more than 130 instant win and crash titles, video poker, and a sportsbook covering conventional sport, virtual sport and esports. The lobby filters by category, provider and mechanic, and every slot opens in demo mode before a deposit.

Does PowerUp Casino carry Evolution live games?

Evolution is not among the live studios confirmed in the lobby at the date of this check. Published reviews disagree on this point, with some listing Evolution and at least one stating explicitly that it is absent. Live content is supplied primarily by Pragmatic Play Live and Playtech, alongside BetGames TV, OnAir, Lucky Streak, Skywind, Bombay Live, Creedroomz and Stakelogic. Studio line-ups shift with commercial agreements, so the lobby filter is the reliable source.

Is there a sportsbook?

Yes. A betting section operates under the same account and balance, covering ice hockey, basketball, football, baseball, golf, tennis and horse racing, plus more than ten esports disciplines including Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and Call of Duty. Sportsbook promotions run on separate terms from the casino offers and the two cannot be cleared against each other.

What are the bet limits at live tables?

Live roulette and blackjack run from C$0.10 to C$5,000, and live baccarat and poker from C$0.10 to C$3,000. RNG table games cap at C$100. Those ceilings apply to real-money play only: while a casino bonus is active the maximum drops to C$7.50 across every category.

What are UpCoins worth?

Deposits credit 5% of their value as UpCoins. Fifty coins exchange for C$7.50 in bonus funds and thirty coins for five spins at C$0.10 each, with better ratios on larger exchanges. Everything bought carries 40x playthrough over seven days, so the shop dispenses promotional credit rather than cash. Achievement rewards, worth up to C$900 in total, carry only 1x.

Do live games count towards wagering?

Live dealer games contribute 10% of each bet towards playthrough, the same rate as RNG blackjack and roulette. Other table games contribute 5%. Slots are the only category contributing at the full rate, which is why a bonus claimed by a live-table player is significantly harder to clear inside the ten-day window.

Canadian iGaming review team · Canadian market desk

The PowerUp Review Desk is the editorial team behind every page on this site. It covers one operator in one market: PowerUp Casino as it is offered to players in Canada, in Canadian dollars, under the provincial rules that apply where the reader lives.

Every figure published here is traced to one of four sources before it goes live: the operator cashier, the published terms and conditions, the licence validator linked in the operator footer, or the public complaint databases run by independent review platforms. Where those sources disagree with each other, the disagreement is stated on the page rather than resolved silently, and where a figure cannot be confirmed at all it is marked as unconfirmed instead of repeating the most widely quoted number.

The desk does not publish promotional codes it cannot see inside an account, does not describe software that does not exist, and does not claim provincial registration the operator does not hold. Pages carry the date they were last checked because the two things that move fastest in this market are promotional terms and provincial registers, and a review without a date is a review without a shelf life.
