Questions Canadians ask
Is online poker legal in Canada?
Yes, but the rules are set by each province. Ontario and Alberta license private poker rooms and expect residents to use them. The other provinces run a government site and don't license private operators; offshore rooms still accept players there, and no Canadian has been charged for playing on one. Check your province page for specifics.
What happened to Bodog Poker?
Bodog retired its name in Canada on February 17, 2026. The same poker room now runs as Ozoon, and existing Bodog logins and balances moved over automatically.
Do I pay tax on poker winnings in Canada?
Recreational players generally don't. The Canada Revenue Agency can treat winnings as business income if poker is how you make a living. If you're playing seriously, ask an accountant.
Which site has the most tournaments for Canadians?
Of the rooms we list for the rest of Canada, ACR Poker runs the biggest guarantees. In Ontario, GGPoker and PokerStars on FanDuel run the deepest schedules.
Can I play with Interac?
On provincially licensed sites, yes. Offshore rooms vary: Ozoon lists Canadian banking options, while ACR and BetOnline lean on crypto. Each review lists what the cashier takes.
