Is it legal to play on these sites?
Nova Scotia doesn't license private online poker, and no law here targets players who use offshore sites. Canadian enforcement has always gone after operators, not players. The catch is protection: if an offshore room refuses to pay, there is no provincial regulator to complain to. That's why we only list rooms with long payout records.
The provincial option
Atlantic Lottery (ALC). It does not run peer-to-peer online poker.
