I'm currently on the lookout for the best online casino where I can enjoy a wide variety of games in canada.

My main focus is on online games, so I’m looking for a site that offers not only slots but also online poker. I want to find platforms where I can play real money poker as well as free poker games. It’s really important to me that the site is legit and offers a genuine experience with real players, not just bots.

I’ve also been wondering if there are any Apps available that let you play online poker with actual players and not just AI bots? I’m keen on finding a community-driven space that offers competitive poker, where I can have fun and challenge others. Would love to hear suggestions!

I suggest you look at the top of the page, (any page), where you will see the title Best Online Casinos. There is a link within that specifically for Canada.

That should help.

I think actuall it is gg they have a excellent development in the user activity. My former lovely site pokerstars is downsizing the player pool and a lot of people going away. That is very sad. Also i bad sign, there are no cc freerolls since may be 18 month. The best site must have cc freerolls, so because of the new freerolls on gg, there is no reason anymore that gg is the best site.

I think asking for a site with both slots & poker isn't going to be your best way to go about this. I would view them separately.

Have you played online poker? Residing in Canada surely you've seen a fair bit of advertising on TV?

The main sites, listed in descending order of size & popularity are:
1.) GGPoker
2.) Pokerstars
3.) AmericasCardroom
4.) partypoker
5.) 888Poker

Those are the best ones. GG doesn't have a 'wide variety' of games as it's mostly N.L.H.E. and some PLO but they have the largest number of players playing on their site by far (biggest tournament prizepools, etc.).
Pokerstars is pretty much the only site that offers 'mixed games' tournaments, but even there these days you'll be hard pressed to find cash tables for games other than PLO & NLHE. But if a person wanted to play a bunch of mixed games (ie. Stud, Stud8, PLO, PLO8, Razz, Badugi, H.O.R.S.E., 8-Game, etc.) then Pokerstars is where you'll find them. Not very big numbers of entrants in those games although during a series you'll find some decent-sized tournaments then (ie. the SCOOP series... but it just ended this weekend)

As far as 'slots' goes (or any casino game, blackjack, etc.) I have zero clue. I haven't played any of those games online in many years as I have no interest in them.

This is the criteria for 'the best site'... the ones that have CC freerolls?

I've been playing at Pokerstars and GGPoker for a long time, and for me, those two casinos are the best. But I've never tried AmericasCardroom, actually, and some of my friends started playing there, so I think it's also worth trying.
What about slot games, I used to play them, but just for some time and long time ago, and I don't remember the name of the casino unfortunately.

I don't play any Casino games... I only play poker.

Obviously, the best ones will be those recommended by CardsChat. I play on local sites, and I can't say they're bad, but it's really hard to win there :)

I mainly play at 888 and GG. I like GG more because I have won more money there than at other casinos. I usually play different slots.

I play on 888, and there are no Sit & Go games there anymore. They used to have them, but not anymore.

Clearly any casino where wager requirements are nowhere near to 35× (or even worse than that) ... :unsure:

I think you might want to check out GGpoker. They have a pretty large selection of slots, and of course the main focus is on poker. I also think 888 is a pretty interesting option.

I see your country flag is USA but you're looking for an online casino in Canada. If you live in a few specific provinces in Canada you can play at Playnow.com.

If you live in Quebec there's also: https://www.espacejeux.com/

These are the only online casino sites actually based in Canada and operated by Canadians that I'm aware of. They are definitely "legit" as they are run/guaranteed by the different provincial governments.

They have online poker with "real players" on their App, but I don't think they have any free/play money games other than freerolls. They have lots of free and real money casino games.

Finding a solid site in Canada can be a headache, I get you. A lot of places feel stuffed with bots or have poker options as an afterthought. I’ve been testing a few, and honestly, slots are everywhere, but poker with real players is where it gets tricky. This casino https://valorbet.bet/ worth peeking at—even though it’s newer, I found the mix of games pretty decent, and it felt less shady than some. Still, I’d say test a couple first before locking in your go-to.

With the house almost always having an edge there are a couple of things you can look for- good promos and high RTP slots. Its important to pay attention to the terms of the promo and things like required rollover.

Even with a "high" RTP slot the house still has the edge.

Sometimes you can bonus hop, but I think that is really difficult these days.
