With online poker taking a series of knock-backs in the States, Canada is now emerging as the new face of online poker in the post-noughties period. The new owner of Poker.ca thinks he has the answer: that Canada is taking a whole new approach to poker as a business. They are choosing to listen to gamblers and work alongside them, giving them what they want rather than trying to dictate what they need. He also stated that Canadians love staying well-informed, especially about topics they feel deeply for. Canada boasts some of the world’s finest brick and mortar Casinos, as well as being home to some of the best poker pros on the planet. Online poker is undergoing a period of very rapid evolution, and it seems Canada is fully embracing that evolution.

The new manager of Poker.ca, one of Canada’s biggest supporters regarding poker’s future in the country, has chosen to keep his identity a secret. He recently purchased his new website for a hefty $400,000, and immediately set about giving it a facelift. The new interface boasts a news-stream (updated many times daily) as well as poker info, deals and offers. Although not much is known about his identity, it can be confirmed that the owner is a professional player himself. He plans to use his time at the felt, and his lucrative set of associations, to the full benefit of his new website. It seems Canada is setting a standard for online poker that the rest of the world will be hard-pressed to follow.
