Poker in Canada Overview
PokerInCanada is a well known poker site in the Action Poker Network, a leader in the online poker community when it comes to offering an exclusive selection of games and innovative software. PokerInCanada is not accepting U.S. players at the moment. Most of the player traffic is found at the Texas Hold’em tables, although the rest of the games have a decent concentration of players, even with the U.S. player ban. This poker room is “committed to offering games that set the highest standard of fairness, security and privacy” while providing a “safe, fair and fun venue for people to enjoy poker, raking a small percentage of each pot.”
Poker In Canada is a room on the Action Poker Network, along with two other popular online poker rooms; Action Poker and Tiger Gaming.

PokerInCanada is “proud to offer a wide variety of tournaments that will appeal to a variety of users.” Multi Table tournaments and Sit & Gos are available 24 hours a day. All these tournaments require a buy-in that varies based on the tournament structure (from $1+$0.10 to $20+$2). Play at the Multi Table tournaments and freerolls is loose. The Player Option Points program of PokerInCanada.com rewards returning players and is used to clear the sign-up bonus and claim different prizes. The Player Option Points (POP) will be earned whenever a player contributes with $0.10 to the rake.
Poker in Canada Software Features
The functionality of the PokerInCanada software could be improved; however, the current features work well. The tabs are used by the players to choose the game type desired; they also display the No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit tables. The small lobby is easy to navigate, statistics such as average pot size, viewed flop percentage, hands played per hour, number of players currently online and number of tables currently active are displayed.
The table graphics are pleasant but not overly flashy, the animations and the cards have superb quality. Hand histories and player notes are available during play but getting used to these functions is difficult, besides, the information of the hands expires after 30 days. This software facilitates multi-table play at up to four tables; however, mini-view and other special functions are not available. You can modify the speed of the animations when playing at multiple tables at the same time. The waiting list of PokerInCanada.com is functional, you will be notified each time there’s an open seat at any table in your list. A buddy list is available as well, allowing you to chat with any friend.
