Canadian online poker for US palyers

For online poker fans in the US, it can be really tricky to find a poker room in which you are allowed to play. For those of you who don’t know, this is because of regulatory concerns – playing online poker in the United States is still not 100% legal, so to cover their backs (so to speak) a lot of online poker rooms refuse access to U.S player’s altogether. Whilst U.S poker fans have a few staple sites like Titan Poker, Bodog Poker, Lock Poker, Cake Poker and InterTops Poker to name just a few, they still have far less choice of online poker venues than any of their poker-loving cousins from elsewhere in the world. Could all of this be set to change?

Republican Joe Barton has proposed a bill to legalise online poker. A fan of poker himself since the tender age of 12, Barton proposes that through a series of state-run agencies, online poker in the U.S should be regulated. This is not just good news for U.S online poker fans – it’s fantastic news for everyone! A bill that would legalise online gambling would mean an influx of brand spanking new online poker rooms for fans worldwide to enjoy!

It is understandable that U.S online poker fans are sceptical, but Barton remains optimistic. The poker community are raising awareness of this issue very close to their hearts through social networking mediums like Facebook and Twitter, and you never know – their voices could be heard by members of Congress who are sitting on the fence! So online poker fans everywhere – unite and you could soon be enjoying the new perks, bonuses, jackpots, tourneys and games of a whole new bunch of U.S based online poker sites!

Poker Rooms in Canada

Luckily for you, online poker is completely legal in Canada, so you don’t have any restriction when choosing an online poker site and it’s nice to have a poker venue to cater specifically to you without fear of red tape! The top 3 poker rooms in Canada are as follows:

888Poker

888Poker is pretty much the whole world’s fave poker site, so it comes as no surprise that this is THE top poker room in Canada! Coming to you with a great 100% welcome bonus, there is always some fantastic poker action to be had here as the fans of 888Games or 888Sports migrate over thinking they can take the poker players on! Of course, they are wrong, which makes for big juicy jackpots for you!

William Hill Poker

The second most popular of the poker rooms in Canada, William Hill also offer an impressive 100% cash match upon depositing and because they are part of one of the biggest online poker networks on the web, they have masses of choice with both experts and novices being catered to. Bodog Poker

With a welcome bonus of 110%, online poker fans flock to Bodog in hordes to take advantage, because other online poker sites tend to stick to 100% or less. Add to this their “soft games” thanks to their Casino operations and you’ve got a good idea of why this is one of the best lived poker rooms in Canada!

There are absolutely tonnes of poker rooms ripe and ready for you to take advantage of all the excellent tourneys, huge jackpots and exciting perks, so before you just pick any old site, check out the poker rooms in Canada that are generating the most heat!
