I was just trying to sign up for betfair but i guess im not allowed. I went to pick my country and canada was not on the list.

Does anyone know why? I didn't think Canada had legal problems against poker but then again i do not pay much attention to what the legalized mob are up to.

Australia has now had problems so i guess it is not so far fetched....

USA or Canada was not on the betfair list.

I ran into the same thing when signing up for another site, in the meantime, I knew there were other Canadians signed up.

After I contacted their support, they explained simply...We are not accepting anymore new accounts from your region. I'm in Ontario.

:dontknow:

Trust me pokerstars is the site for Canadians to go to. Negreanu represents your nation very nicely and the pokerstars client is just top tier.

Other sites will say they are as good but we all know the truth who have used PS :)

really?

So this is what we have come to? Pokersites are now prejudice against certain regions? tisk tisk, isn't this some kind of human rights violation?

LOL! I know, right?!

I think we will survive, given we have so many other options for online poker. :)

Does anyone know why?

Betfair stopped accepting Canadians almost 2 years ago. I think it was because of a merger between Paddy Poker and Betfair and since Paddy poker did not accept Canadians. Here is the email they sent out:

[FONT=informa_medium]"We are sorry to inform you that as of 14th January 2016, Betfair's products will no longer be available to residents of Canada.

On 14th January 2016 Canadian residents will no longer be able to place bets and Betfair shall close it's website. All outstanding Sportsbook bets will be cancelled, you will no longer be able to place new exchange bets and all gaming products will be blocked. Please note that all outstanding Exchange bets will remain in place until 14th January 2016, so please ensure you manage any positions you have open in advance of this date.

[FONT=informa_medium]Please also ensure you withdraw any funds you have in advance of 14th Janurary 2016. You will only be able to witdraw any winnings, or leftover funds after 14th Janurary by contacting our helpdesk.
