Legal information for Canadian Poker Players

Online poker is legal for Canadian players, with most provinces allowing residents to access offshore poker sites without restrictions. While only Ontario has a fully regulated online poker market, players across Canada can legally join and play on international platforms like Americas Cardroom.

For casual players, poker winnings are generally not taxed in Canada. As long as you’re not treating poker like a full-time business, you can enjoy your profits tax-free. However, professional players—those earning consistent income from poker—may be required to report their winnings as taxable income.

At Americas Cardroom, we prioritise privacy and flexibility with a wide range of banking options. You can deposit and withdraw using popular cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, XRP, and even DOGE, or use secure player-to-player (P2P) transfers. Keep in mind that if your crypto gains value after a win and you convert it to Canadian dollars, capital gains tax may apply.

We also take your security seriously, using cutting-edge technology to protect your data and help you stay as private as you choose while enjoying a global online poker experience.
