Ontario Online Poker Shows Record Revenue

The March figures come from iGaming Ontario’s monthly market performance reporting, which tracks activity across the province’s regulated market. The data is published at market level, not by individual operator, and iGaming Ontario notes that its figures are unaudited and may be adjusted. 

For poker, March stood out for a simple reason. Ontario remains a ring fenced market. Operators are not sharing liquidity with international player pools, and activity is limited to players located inside the province. 

iGaming Ontario does not publish poker revenue by operator.
That means there is no official public table showing how much PokerStars, GGPoker, 888poker, BetMGM Poker, PartyPoker or Bwin generated in March.

The province’s regulated market directory lists six poker brands as active in Ontario:

• 888poker, 
• BetMGM Poker, 
• Bwin, GGPoker, 
• PartyPoker and 
• PokerStars
  
  

The directory was marked accurate as of April 30, 2026. (iGaming Ontario)

However, cash game traffic estimates give a useful indication of market share.
Based on GameIntel this would give us the following estimations:

Poker remains a small part of Ontario’s overall iGaming market. Online casino and sports betting continue to account for the vast majority of wagers and revenue. But poker works differently from those verticals.
It depends on liquidity, healthy game selection, tournament schedules and repeat player engagement. If a ring fenced poker market starts to lose depth, players feel it quickly.

March suggests that has not happened in Ontario.

The bigger question is what comes next for regulated online poker in Canada.

Ontario has shown that a single province market can maintain meaningful poker activity, but shared liquidity would change the ceiling.
More players would mean better tournament guarantees, deeper cash game traffic and more room for operators to build serious online poker schedules.

Until that becomes part of the Canadian regulated model, Ontario remains the main reference point. 

With a regulated market in Alberta coming up and as reported by CanadianPoker.com, a Canadian poker media site, the fight for a shared liquidity with other regulated Canadian jurisdictions is already taking place.
Which makes sense, Alberta is a smaller province then Ontario and for Alberta not only to survive but also prosper - liquidity is the key.
