PokerStars Casino — part of a brand that’s been synonymous with online poker since 2001. For over two decades, we built our reputation one table at a time, becoming an industry leader through high-quality software, an enormous selection of games and tournaments, and support that players have consistently described as reliable and fast. In 2022, we acquired a licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and registered with iGaming Ontario, bringing everything we’d built over twenty years into one of the most rigorously regulated online gambling markets in North America.
Our roots in poker, and how they shape our casino
PokerStars wasn’t built as a casino first. We were built as a poker platform, and the culture that came from that — rewarding skill, building genuine community among players, and running loyalty programmes that actually mean something over the long term — carries directly into how we’ve designed our casino product. Our random number generator technology is certified by Gaming Labs, and we’re part of the International Betting Integrity Association — memberships and certifications that exist because we wanted them, not because a regulator demanded the bare minimum.
Our Ontario licence and what it means for how we operate
We are licensed by the AGCO and registered as an operator with iGaming Ontario. Any Canadian player physically located within Ontario can play on our platform entirely within the confines of the law. We use geolocation technology to confirm your location every time you log in. Players must be 19 or older to play with us, consistent with Ontario’s legal gambling age.
One thing we want Ontario players to understand about bonuses: AGCO regulations mean we can’t advertise specific welcome bonus terms publicly before you’ve created an account. This applies to every AGCO-licensed operator. Available offers appear in the promotions tab of your account after registering and making a deposit — we’d encourage every player to review the full terms there, including wagering requirements and the 7-day expiry window, before opting in.
Our game library: 2,500+ titles and counting
We’ve built our Ontario library to over 2,500 games, verified as of April 2026, sourced from more than 45 providers including Evolution. Slots make up the largest portion, with titles from NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Microgaming (Games Global), IGT, Play’n GO, and many others — from classic three-reel slots to modern Megaways titles. Every title can be played in practice mode for free first. We’re honest about one limitation: a small number of games from developers not yet licensed for Ontario aren’t available here, but with 2,500-plus titles overall we don’t think this meaningfully limits what’s available to you.
Live dealer gaming: 180+ tables and a mobile-first approach
Our live dealer section is one of the things we’re proudest of — 180-plus live tables, substantially powered by Evolution. We’ve built this section with mobile play specifically in mind, because we know how much of our player base wants the full live casino experience without being tied to a desktop. Whether you’re at home or on the go, the tables, the dealers, and the experience should feel the same.
Banking: built around speed, especially for Interac
For Ontario players, Interac withdrawals process within 24-48 hours. More broadly, withdrawal processing takes 1-3 days depending on the method chosen, with e-wallets generally providing the fastest payouts. Our minimum deposit is CAD 10 across most payment methods, and our minimum withdrawal is CAD 20. Every transaction is protected by 128-bit SSL encryption. Our Canadian operation is built around local support agents who understand regional payment methods and requirements directly.
Our rewards programme: built on two decades of getting loyalty right
Every bit of real-money play earns reward points that scale you through our rewards programme, unlocking chests along the way, and feed into bonus credits, spins, and bets you can use across our platform. Our dedicated Rewards Store lets you swap points for additional prizes beyond the standard rewards structure. We built this system because the players who stay with us longest are the ones who feel their loyalty is recognised in ways that compound over time — not just a one-time welcome bonus forgotten after the first few sessions.
Responsible gambling
We provide responsible gambling tools including deposit limits, self-exclusion, and session controls as required under AGCO/iGaming Ontario licensing. Players can connect to iGaming Ontario’s province-wide self-exclusion program. ConnexOntario is available 24/7 at 1-866-531-2600 and the Responsible Gambling Council at responsiblegambling.org for players seeking support.
