Online Poker in Canada

Besides the Americans and British, Canadians make up one of the largest groups of online poker players in the world. It’s no surprise since Canadians are known as great poker players as demonstrated by the number of top poker pros that are either from Canada or live in Canada permanently. As a result, many of the online poker rooms cater to the Canadian audience and provide “Canucks” a multitude of banking options to make it as easy as possible to deposit on their sites. Even some of the largest Canadian poker rooms have their headquarters or marketing offices in Canada including places like Toronto, Vancouver, and the Kahnawake Reserve Indian Reservation in Quebec.
