Canadian online poker players have a great choice available for both deposits and withdrawals.

The most common methods across leading online poker sites available in Canada, including GGPoker,  Stake.com Poker, WPT Global, CoinPoker and CoinPoker, include: credit cards and debit cards (such as Visa and MasterCard)​, popular e-wallets (such as Skrill, Neteller, MuchBetter, and PayPal in some cases)​, crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether/USDT and others), Interac e-Transfers (the preferred instant bank method for Canadians) and bank transfers. Some poker sites also accept prepaid vouchers or virtual cards like Paysafecard, Flexepin or AstroPay) for deposits​

All of the five poker platforms mentioned above support multiple payment types, though each has its own set of supported methods and policies. Below is a comparison and detailed analysis of these payment methods, including their pros and cons for Canadian players.

GGPoker offers one of the broadest selections of payment methods. Canadian players on GGPoker can deposit with all major options, including credit cards, crypto multiple e-wallets, Interac and prepaid cards.

Notably, GGPoker supports PayPal deposits​, which is relatively uncommon in poker sites, adding a convenient choice for those who prefer it.

Interac e-Transfer is fully integrated for Canadians – deposits are in CAD and converted to USD in your account (the app will prompt you to send an e-Transfer for the specified CAD amount)​. Players report that Interac withdrawals also work smoothly, typically taking about 1-2 days (longer if over a weekend)​. 

GGPoker’s withdrawal policy generally requires you to withdraw via the same method you deposited, if possible. This is standard for anti-money laundering regulations. They also impose a $1 processing fee on most withdrawals – for example, cashing out via Skrill, Neteller, or even crypto will incur a flat $1 fee, which is fairly minimal.

The withdrawal processing time is usually within 24 hours (often faster), though GGPoker notes it could be up to 72 hours in some cases. If you withdraw to a Visa card or via bank transfer, the bank’s processing (1-3 business days) comes into play on top of that​.

GGPoker has tiered verification levels that affect monthly withdrawal limits (e.g., basic verified accounts can withdraw up to a certain amount per month, higher levels allow more) – high-volume Canadian players should be aware of these limits and complete the necessary 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) if expecting to cash out large sums.

Overall, GGPoker’s payment system is very accommodating to Canadians, and many players favour methods like MuchBetter or Interac for low fees. Tip: To avoid missing out on bonuses, deposit at least the minimum for the welcome bonus (e.g. $20) even though GGPoker allows as low as $10; smaller deposits won’t trigger their bonus offers​. Our GGPoker bonus code guide can help you claim your welcome bonus if you are yet to register.

WPT Global, the online poker room of the World Poker Tour, supports a wide array of payment methods, though it emphasizes different options depending on region.

Options available to Canadian players on WPT Global include credit card deposits, Interac e-Transfers, e-wallets and crypto.​

WPT Global’s cashier will display only the methods available in your jurisdiction​, so Canadians will see Interac listed, whereas someone in another country might see a different local method. WPT Global makes a point that they do not charge fees on withdrawals to any method​, meaning you should receive the full amount (note: third-party processors might have their fee, but WPT Global doesn’t take a cut). 

You can deposit here using a broad range of cryptocurrencies, including not just Bitcoin or Ethereum, but also coins like Litecoin, Ripple (XRP), Tron, USDT, USDC, Trump Coin, Algorand and Cardano. Many of those are available via a partnership with a crypto payment provider (CoinPaid/Coindirect) integrated in the WPT cashier.

For traditional methods, Skrill and Neteller are common e-wallet choices on WPT, and Luxon Pay (a newer e-wallet) is also supported​. Interac e-Transfer on WPT Global works similarly to other sites – you initiate a deposit and are given instructions to send an e-Transfer, making it straightforward for Canadian users.

WPT Global requires that any deposit must be wagered at least once before withdrawal (to comply with anti-money-laundering rules)​. Essentially you can’t deposit and withdraw without playing. Also, first-time withdrawals trigger a KYC check, so you will need to provide identification, as you would expect at a regulated site​.

In terms of limits, the minimum deposit is around $15-$20 depending on method, and maximums per transaction can range up to $5,000 or more for methods like crypto or Luxon Pay​. Canadian players haven’t reported major issues with WPT Global’s payments; the inclusion of Interac and familiar e-wallets has made the transition to this new platform easy. If anything, choosing which method to use might depend on what you already have set up (for example, if you already use Skrill for other sites, you can stick with it on WPT).

CoinPoker stands out as a crypto-only poker platform, which influences all of its payment policies. All deposits and withdrawals on CoinPoker are done in cryptocurrency​. Canadian players need to have a crypto wallet to play as there is no option to deposit via CAD, credit card or Interac directly.

CoinPoker primarily deals in USDT (Tether) as its in-game currency. Tether is a stablecoin pegged to  the US Dollar for stable value. 1 USD is equal to 1 USDT.

You can fund your CoinPoker account using BTC, ETH, MATIC, SOL, USDT (ERC-20 or TRC-20 networks) and other crypto coins​. The poker room also formerly had their own token called CHP, but currently the focus is on mainstream cryptos and stablecoins.

For a Canadian new to CoinPoker, the process would be to buy crypto (like Bitcoin or Tether) on an exchange or via their integrated service​, then transfer the crypto into your CoinPoker account. 

Withdrawals are similarly done to your crypto wallet – you request a payout in, say, USDT, and they will send it on the blockchain to your address.

The advantages here are no banks or payment intermediaries are involved, which means no extra fees from CoinPoker’s side and typically very fast payouts once processed.

CoinPoker’s system usually processes withdrawals quickly (often within minutes, though times can vary based on network congestion). One thing to note is that CoinPoker may have lower KYC requirements for small crypto transactions (some crypto-only sites allow a degree of pseudonymous play), but for larger withdrawals you should expect to provide identity proof in line with their licensing.

A good tip is to ensure you use the correct network for the crypto you choose. For example, if you withdraw USDT, they support Ethereum ERC-20 and Tron TRC-20; using TRC-20 can result in lower network fees. Also, double-check any wallet addresses because, as always with crypto, a mistake can’t be undone.

In summary, CoinPoker is ideal for cryptocurrency enthusiasts – it provides a seamless crypto poker experience – but it’s less convenient if you don’t already use crypto. Canadian players who prefer traditional payment methods might find the other sites more straightforward, whereas those comfortable with Bitcoin and Ethereum will appreciate CoinPoker’s streamlined approach (with no need to wait for bank processing at all).

Stake.com is primarily known as a crypto casino and sportsbook, but it has become popular among Canadian poker enthusiasts for its quick and easy crypto transactions and ability to play casino-style poker games.

Currently, Stake does not have a separate “poker client” like the others, but users include it in comparisons because you can play video poker or casino poker games on Stake and manage your bankroll similarly. For Canadian players, Stake has embraced local currency on-ramps despite being crypto-focused.

Notably, Stake offers a direct CAD deposit option via Interac e-Transfer​. When you choose CAD on the Stake wallet and deposit, you’ll be guided to connect to your bank or send an Interac – Stake’s payment processor (often Gigadat in Canada) will then credit your account. This makes funding Stake with Canadian dollars extremely convenient (and as many users have observed, it avoids the high fees of buying crypto via a credit card)​.

Once you make a deposit, funds are typically held as USD or as crypto. For instance, Stake might convert your CAD deposit to USD value in your account or directly to a cryptocurrency of your choice.

Cryptocurrency support on Stake is one of the broadest: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Trump Coin, Litecoin, XRP, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, various stablecoins, and more are all accepted for deposits and withdrawal​s. You can also maintain balances in multiple crypto wallets on Stake.com and switch as needed. Withdrawals for Canadians can be done via Interac e-Transfer as well, with Stake.com effectively converting your crypto balance to CAD and sending an e-Transfer out).

User feedback is that Stake’s e-transfer payouts to players in Canada are extremely fast, often processed instantly, and come with no withdrawal fee​. Stake has a VIP tier system that can affect limits; for example, initially you might be limited to withdrawing $10,000 CAD per month via Interac until you verify to a higher level​. If you need to cash out more, you can always withdraw in crypto (since Stake has no hard cap on crypto withdrawals aside from network limits).

Another site-specific point is that Stake’s integration with MoonPay means you can use methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa or Mastercard to purchase crypto on-site​, but Canadian users generally avoid this due to the fees and instead use the direct Interac method (which has zero extra fees)​.

Stake provides a hybrid approach – all gameplay is in crypto, but Canadians can deposit and withdraw in their local currency effortlessly. The key benefit noted by players is speed: both crypto and Interac transactions on Stake are among the fastest, making it a favorite for those who value quick access to their funds.

If you are yet to sign up, you can use a Stake.com promo code to get started with up to $3000 in bonus money.

JackPoker is one of the newer online poker sites (launched 2021) and has quickly expanded its payment options to cater to various markets. Canadian players on JackPoker can use Interac, crypto and credit cards, while e-wallets and several alternative methods are also available.

For deposit requests in Canadian dollars, Interac is offered – making it simple to send CAD and have it converted to your JackPoker balance. The presence of Flexepin vouchers is a plus for Canadians who like using prepaid cash vouchers.

On the crypto side, JackPoker accepting Dogecoin in addition to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin shows a user-friendly approach (catering even to those who hold more novel cryptos)​.

JackPoker allows withdrawals via many of the same methods you can deposit with. For example, if you deposit via MuchBetter or Interac, you should be able to withdraw via those.

One site-specific quirk: because JackPoker is licensed in Curaçao, it has a bit more flexibility in crypto and international methods, but it also means Canadian players should be mindful of currency conversion and any deposits in Canadian Dollars will be converted to US Dollar on the platform at the rate on that day).

Players have reported quick withdrawals​, which is a good sign. JackPoker does encourage players to fully verify their account before withdrawing. We recommended that you submit your ID and any requested documents to avoid cashout delays.

All of the poker platforms listed on this page have robust payment systems to accommodate Canadian players. By understanding the various options – from traditional banking to cutting-edge crypto – you can choose the method that best fits your needs for speed, ease, security and low cost.

Canadian poker players in particular often gravitate toward Interac e-Transfers for the convenience and zero fees​, or e-wallets and crypto for faster withdrawals.

It is a good idea to have multiple payment methods at your disposal (for example, an Interac option and an e-wallet) so you have flexibility if one method is unavailable or if you hit any limits set by the poker room.
