New casinos for poker players in Canada

49 Of the 60 new casinos on our list name a live casino, where poker is dealt by a person

At most new casinos, poker means games against the house: Casino Hold'em, Three Card Poker, Caribbean Stud and video poker. A few also run rooms where you play other players.

Against the house, the edge is fixed and correct play only narrows it. Against players, skill decides and the house takes a rake. Offshore casinos and their offers are not available in Ontario.

  • Casino Hold'em edge about 2.2%
  • Jacks or Better 9/6 returns 99.54%
  • Interac at most casinos listed

How to choose a casino for poker

  • Check that the casino lists the poker games you want; many new casinos only carry casino poker.
  • Read the paytable of video poker before you play; lower paytables cost a point or more.
  • Check withdrawal methods; Interac payouts avoid conversion fees.
  • Look at how poker counts towards a bonus; often 10% or not at all.

Bonuses and freerolls

Casino welcome offers rarely suit poker players because table games count little towards wagering. Poker rooms use their own offers: freerolls, which are free-entry tournaments with small prize pools, and rakeback, a share of the rake returned. Check how freeroll winnings are paid before you count on them.

Tips

Learn the hand rankings and position before you stake money, start at the lowest limits and keep each buy-in to 5% of your poker bankroll. Our poker tips for new casino players and guide to new poker variants go further.

Questions

Poker at new casinos: questions

What is a new poker casino?

A recently launched casino that offers poker, usually casino poker and video poker, sometimes player rooms.

A tournament with no entry fee and a real prize pool, often used to attract new players.

Responsible gaming

Play only if you are 19+ and it stays fun

These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.

19+ only

Adults only, everywhere

You must be 19 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.

New brands

Start small with an unknown casino

Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
