Online poker is not legally available to play for real money in Australia due to the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, which prohibits the provision and advertising of online gambling services to Australian residents, and the amendment bill that was passed in 2024, which banned online poker for real money outright.

PokerStars and the other top online poker operators in the US  BetMGM and WSOP  are not currently regulated in Qubec and are only active in the gray market. The only site that legally offers online poker in Qubec is Espace Jeux, the igaming site for the provincial lottery, Loto-Qubec.
