The ban on online casinos in the USA has not deterred the proliferation of online casinos that cater to the Canadian market. During the past ten years there has been an incredible expansion of the available online gambling sites available to Canadian players. The level of entertainment value has never been higher for internet players located in the vast country of Canada.

The country is big and travel distances to brick and mortar based casinos is massive. The weather for six months of the year in most parts of the country restricts travel and makes going out for a good time a difficult process. Online gambling has come on strong because there is no need to leave your heated and comfortable home surroundings to enjoy playing a game of poker or blackjack with friends from around the world.

In the past Canadian punters had to play mostly on American based web locations which meant having to play in US currency. Now online gambling operators are listening to the specific needs of the Canadian player and allowing them to use Canadian funds to play. This fact alone has given the player from Canada a much more profitable experience by not having to pay currency conversion fees or other fees regarding transactions.
Some of the provincial governments in Canada such as Quebec, British Columbia, and soon Ontario are offering government run online casinos which will add another layer to the industry in the nation.

Targeting an audience is an essential business practice these days and the online gambling operators have been busy facilitating the trend towards a friendlier more accessible model. Many players feel the time has finally come in Canada where they are being served a proper and better business standard. The spread of broadband to some of the more remote places has also made the playing of online games even more accessible.
