Canada is much less aggressive toward pursuing and enforcing the question of legality in playing with an online casino than its neighbors to the South. There are currently no specific laws to ban gambling on the Internet for Canadian citizens. However, it does appear that with the exception of two lottery style gaming houses, Canadian land-based gaming companies are banned from offering services to their citizens. The exception is the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory outside of Montreal, where several hundred online casinos, sportsbook and poker room reside. Notable here are Bodog and Sports Interaction who are both very large establishments that have huge customer bases throughout the world, ensuring liquidity and pricing.

Through hundreds of sites are available to players in Canada, many of them convert Canadian dollars to their local or common currency (usually USD, Euros or Pounds). Though this is done effortlessly at most sites, the placing of wagers in a foreign currency can cause errors in bankroll management as well as being generally frustrating. As with any country, find a website that offers the local currency.

Many sportsbooks that face North America offer Western Union, Money Gram, bank wires and checks to all players. Look for sites that offer additional money transfer methods that are recognized and reputable for Canadians. For example, Pinnacle Sports, Wild Jack casino and many others offer Moneybookers, Click2Pay, Neteller, Insta Debit and credit card transactions for Canadian players.
