A well-established casino for Canada and India
Visit Royal Panda →Royal Panda welcome bonus in Canada
Context for Canada: Canada regulates gambling province by province, so what is lawful depends on where you are. Ontario runs the country's open market: private operators register with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and operate under an agreement with iGaming Ontario, alongside the provincial operator OLG. Most other provinces keep online gambling with their own provincial operator. ONE ONTARIO RULE AFFECTS WHAT YOU SEE HERE: the Registrar's Standards for Internet Gaming prohibit advertising or marketing that communicates gambling inducements, bonuses or credits to the public - operators may still OFFER them, but may only advertise them on their own gaming site or by direct marketing to players who have actively consented. Permitted advertising must disclose material conditions up front, must not call an offer free unless it truly is, and must not call it risk-free where you stake your own money. If you are in Ontario, expect to find the current terms of any offer on the operator's own site rather than anywhere else, and treat a headline figure quoted elsewhere - including here - as something to verify at source.

Pros
- A well-established, widely recognized casino brand
- A real, large welcome package in both markets
- Royal Panda's own Malta licence (MGA/B2C/292/2015, held since 2014) shows no enforcement actions on the MGA register
- Backed by a substantial group - LeoVegas has been an MGM Resorts International subsidiary since 2022
Cons
- 35x wagering applies in both markets
- Indian package spread across three deposits rather than a single claim
- Operator LeoVegas Gaming plc has been fined twice by the UK Gambling Commission (GBP 1.32m in 2022, GBP 600,000 in 2018) - against LeoVegas in Britain, not against this brand's Malta licence
- Royal Panda withdrew from the UK market in 2020, so its market footprint is narrower than the brand's profile suggests
Our verdict
Royal Panda is a well-established casino active in Canada and India. Canadian players get a 100% deposit match up to CAD 1,000 plus up to 100 free spins on Gates of Olympus, 35x wagering. We found no regulatory action against this operator in the sources we consulted, which is a statement about our research rather than about the operator. Real-money gaming is banned in India under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, in force since 1 October 2025, so there is no lawful welcome offer for an Indian reader to claim.
How we rated it
Bonuses & value (18%)8
We do not score an Indian welcome offer: Real-money gaming is banned in India under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, in force since 1 October 2025, so there is no lawful welcome offer for an Indian reader to claim. Any rating here reflects the brand's offers in markets where they are lawful.
Casino (36%)7.8
A well-established, widely-recognized casino brand active in multiple markets.
Customer support (18%)7.5
No major documented complaint pattern found.
Trust & licensing (27%)7
A recognized, long-running brand; verify current market-specific licensing directly. Two separate things, deliberately not merged. Royal Panda's own Malta licence (MGA/B2C/292/2015, held since 2014) carries no enforcement actions on the MGA register. Its operator, LeoVegas Gaming plc - an MGM Resorts subsidiary since 2022 - has been fined twice by the UK Gambling Commission: GBP 1.32m in 2022 over social-responsibility and AML failures with an official warning and mandated audit, and GBP 600,000 in 2018 over advertising failings. Those are British penalties against LeoVegas, not findings against this brand's Malta licence, so the markdown is small and reflects operator conduct rather than anything recorded against Royal Panda itself.

Royal Panda FAQ
Is Royal Panda safe and legit?
Yes — Royal Panda is a well-established casino brand active in Canada and India. No major scandal was found during this research.
What is the Royal Panda welcome bonus?
Real-money gaming is banned in India under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, in force since 1 October 2025, so there is no lawful welcome offer for an Indian reader to claim. Where this brand operates lawfully in other markets, its offers there are covered on those countries' pages.
Who owns Royal Panda, and does its operator have a regulatory record?
Royal Panda was acquired by LeoVegas in 2017, and MGM Resorts International acquired LeoVegas in 2022, so it sits inside MGM's group today. Two things are worth keeping apart. Royal Panda's own licence - Malta Gaming Authority MGA/B2C/292/2015, held since 2014 - shows no enforcement actions on the MGA register. Its operator LeoVegas has been fined twice by the UK Gambling Commission: GBP 1.32m in August 2022 over social-responsibility and anti-money-laundering failures, including failing to act on its own policy of interacting with customers showing signs of harm, plus an official warning and a required audit; and GBP 600,000 in 2018 over advertising and marketing failings. Those are British penalties against the operator, not findings against this brand's Malta licence.
Can I play at Royal Panda from the UK?
No. LeoVegas withdrew the Royal Panda brand from the UK market in 2020 - deposits and sports bets stopped on 20 January and the site ceased UK operations on 31 January. We list this brand for Canada and India rather than the UK, so our pages are not affected, but it is worth knowing that its market coverage is narrower than the brand's name recognition might suggest.
