Who we are
About Min Deposit Vault
Min Deposit Vault is a small, independent comparison site with one specialism: low minimum deposit online casinos for players in Canada, New Zealand and the UK. We exist to answer the question other sites dodge — if you deposit just $1, $5 or £10, what do you actually get, and can you keep any of it?
Our editor
Nadia Whitfield has written about regulated online gambling across Commonwealth markets since Ontario's regulated iGaming market launched. Her focus is the unglamorous detail that decides whether a player comes out ahead: bonus terms, wagering requirements, withdrawal floors and payout times. She holds the player accounts referenced in our reviews, makes the deposits we describe, and times the withdrawals herself rather than relying on operator marketing.
She writes plainly and sceptically. If a "$480 welcome package" is functionally unreachable on a $1 deposit, the review says so. If an operator isn't licensed for a reader's market, we don't recommend it there — full stop.
What we stand for
Honesty over hype
We publish the minimum withdrawal and the real wagering next to every "$1, 80 free spins" headline. We'd rather lose a click than mislead a reader into an offer they can't cash out.
Market-correct, always
Currency, legal age and licensing are quoted per market — C$ for Canada, NZ$ for New Zealand, £ for the UK. We never imply parity between them, and we keep the 2026 rules current.
Independent by design
Affiliate commissions fund the site but never set the rankings. Our real-keep score is computed before any commercial consideration, and we publish poor ratings with the criticism intact.
Safety first
Every page carries 18+/19+ messaging and links to real support — GAMSTOP, ConnexOntario and the NZ Gambling Helpline. See our responsible gambling page.
How we make money
When you follow some of our outbound links to a casino and sign up, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those links are routed through /go/ and marked rel="sponsored nofollow noopener". This is the only way the site is funded. Read exactly how we keep that separate from our editorial judgement in our methodology, which also contains our full AI-assistance disclosure.
Corrections and contact
Bonus terms change constantly, and we'd rather be told than be wrong. If you spot an out-of-date figure, a withdrawal floor we've missed, or a licensing detail that's shifted, email editor@mindepositvault.com. We log corrections with a date and update the affected page's "last reviewed" stamp.
A reminder
We provide comparison information, not financial advice, and nothing here guarantees a win. Gambling carries risk and most players lose over time. Please only bet what you can afford to lose.
