baterybets for how they present CAD options and Interac flows to Canadian players. This is the moment to validate UI, demo games, and KYC UX before signing.

Later in the campaign lifecycle — once reporting and tech checks are green — you can renew or scale deals with a better idea of ROI, and for a second viewpoint on platform UX and mobile speed, see how other platforms summarize mobile performance and CAD support like baterybets does for Canadian audiences. Those checks close the loop between deal terms and execution.

## Mini-FAQ (Canada)
Q: Do I need an Ontario licence to run a sponsor promotion visible in Ontario?
A: Yes — if the operator accepts Ontario players under iGO/AGCO, promotions must comply; otherwise geo-block Ontario. This prevents regulatory risk.
Q: What payment method maximizes conversions in Canada?
A: Interac e-Transfer is the gold standard for deposits; use iDebit/Instadebit as backups.
Q: Are Playtech progressive jackpots popular with Canadians?
A: Very — Canadians like jackpot narratives and big-ticket wins, especially around sports holidays like Canada Day and Boxing Day.
Q: Tax implications for winnings?
A: Recreational gambling winnings are generally tax-free in Canada, but check CRA rules for professional play or crypto holdings.

## Responsible Gaming & Legal note (Canada)
This guide is for 19+ (18+ in provinces where legal). Always include self-exclude, deposit limits, and links to Canadian resources (PlaySmart, GameSense, ConnexOntario 1‑866‑531‑2600) in your activation. Sponsorships should never target vulnerable groups.

## Final practical runbook (three steps) for Canadian sponsors
1. Run a 90-day pilot in CAD (C$5,000–C$20,000), require Interac/iDebit, and test on Rogers/Bell mobile.
2. Use Playtech marquee titles as hero events and measure registrations + D7 retention; require weekly KPI reporting.
3. Scale or stop: if CPA < target and D30 retention is acceptable, increase spend; otherwise iterate offers and payment mix.
