Poker.ca cannot help but be pleasing even from the very first moment the home page loads. Visitors are greeted with a stylish and attractive layout, and one which is happily devoid of the barrage of adverts which have become commonplace on so many online poker sites in recent years. Graphical enhancements are tasteful and well-chosen, adding a great aesthetic touch. Visitors can be taken to their desired location within seconds, thanks to the practical tabs-based system.
Players are welcomed with a list of the top five recommended online poker rooms for Canadians, which at this writing consists of (in order): 888 Poker, Poker Stars, Full-Tilt Poker, Ultimatebet Poker, and Absolute Poker. The table also offers helpful info, such as each room's rating, bonus, match bonus and a link to a review. Visitors are also kept up to date with the latest poker news from around the world, as well as a separate section for Canadian poker news. Updates are presented in both textual and visual format, with video-news features present on the homepage. For those unsure as to what current gambling legislation is in Canada, the website has an entire section devoted to (and re-assuring) Canadians of the current state of affairs regarding lawful gambling. For players who have had their fill of the ever-popular Texas Hold'em, there is a helpful introductory section to Omaha. With poker strategy, tips, rules and history also on offer, poker players and fans should find themselves well accommodated.
