888poker Ontario Review

Updated By the Ontario.gg Editorial Team

888poker Ontario is the poker site at 888poker.ca, run by VHL Ontario Limited for players who are 19 or older and in the province.

One AGCO registration covers 888’s poker, sports and casino domains in Ontario.

The site sends us to 888’s notice for places where it doesn’t offer its services, so this card keeps to the register and the Ontario app.

Who you play against on 888poker

The app is for Ontario-based players only, aged 19 or older.

No regulated Ontario site seats players from outside Canada. Whether the province may allow it is before the Supreme Court of Canada, which heard the appeal on October 7, 2026 and had not ruled as of November 5, 2026. Our page on where the shared-pool case stands has the details.

Games and formats

Cash games come in Texas Hold’em and Omaha. BLAST is a format of 888’s own, sold in the app next to the cash games and tournaments.

Play with Friends lets you host a private game and invite people to it.

Casino games and sports betting open from inside the poker app.

Tournaments

Tournaments run around the clock in Hold’em and Omaha, with knockout, turbo and progressive knockout events every day and satellites to live events.

The 888poker Ontario app

The app offers one-handed play, swipe controls and an avatar of your own.

888poker and responsible gambling

Outside the account, BetGuard shuts you out of every regulated online gaming site in Ontario at once, and our page on responsible gambling tools and help lines covers the rest.

What this card doesn’t cover

We leave out what we can’t read on a primary source. For 888poker, as of , that means:

  • Rake, tournament fees and the schedule. Every 888 Ontario page we tried sent us to 888’s notice for places where its services aren’t offered.
  • Payment methods, withdrawal times and fees.
  • How long its breaks and self-exclusions last, its spending controls, and its terms on accounts and outside software.
  • How it handles bots and collusion, and the rules of BLAST.

Pros and cons

What works for players

  • App ratings of 4.2 on iOS and 4.1 on Android
  • A format of its own, BLAST, and private games with friends
  • Poker, sports and casino under one Ontario registration

What doesn't

  • Rake, payouts and house rules we couldn’t confirm from Ontario

Other Ontario poker sites

  • GGPoker Ontario Publishes its rake, caps and tournament schedule in full.
  • PartyPoker Publishes its tournament rules and Interac payout times.
  • BetMGM Poker Publishes its rake schedule and the third-party tools it allows.

All six are listed together on our page of Ontario poker sites. For a game in person, see our list of live poker rooms in Ontario.
