Not on the bonus railCompareWhy this score

Wave 4 labelled grey. Fairness is the relative strength (known poker operation).

Bonus rail requires a licensed market. 72 is not an Ontario/Alberta hop.

Who it is for

Poker players outside ON/AB licensed markets who already live on PokerStars.

Who should skip it

Ontario (iGO) or Alberta (AGLC) residents looking for a legal casino.

Verdict

High-search grey for poker. Do not use from Ontario or Alberta’s licensed markets. FanDuel’s Alberta poker vertical is a different product.

Terms & welcome offer

Poker-first offers — not a licensed-market welcome. Always open the operator’s current terms on the URL you actually join. This review’s T&Cs pointer stays on PokerStars — not on another brand. Gauge is below the licensed 65 rail: we do not attach a visit hop.

TrustFacts is not a casino18+ / 19+ / 21+ by market

We publish Trust Gauge scores. We do not operate games, hold player funds, issue licences, or take bets.

  • A review is not a recommendation to gamble and is not personal financial advice.
  • Confirm the live regulator register and the operator’s current T&Cs on the URL you join. Pages here can lag a licence change.
  • VPN or fake-location tools to enter a licensed market are usually a terms breach and can freeze funds.
  • The Gauge is not for sale. Rank order is score-first.
  • If play is no longer fun, stop. Help lines are listed per market below.
  • International: Local emergency services if you are in crisis. This site is not clinical advice.
Rest of Canada — no private iGaming market18+ / 19+ by province

ROC is everything outside Ontario iGO, Alberta AGLC, BCLC PlayNow, and Loto-Québec. Most ROC brands are Kahnawake or offshore. They are Gauged, not licensed-market hops.

  • Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Atlantic provinces, and the territories do not have a private iGaming market like Ontario or Alberta.
  • A Curaçao or Kahnawake footer is not a provincial licence. Do not treat an ROC brand as legal in Ontario or Alberta.
  • We do not attach Visit / Get-bonus buttons on this desk.
  • If you live in a monopoly province (B.C., Quebec), the crown site is the legal cashier — not this list.
  • If play is no longer fun: Use the help line for the province you are in (ConnexOntario, GameSense, Jeu : aide et référence).
