New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Gambling is a popular pastime enjoyed by millions of people worldwide - and Canada is no exception. Canadian musicians are often known for engaging in gambling activities, and this has increased exponentially with the advancement of online casino apps. In addition, with innumerable platforms to select from, online comparison sites are becoming indispensable. This article celebrates that the comparison site CasinoSource is finally available in Canada! Furthermore, we will give an overview of some Canadian musicians known to entertain themselves by gambling.

Chad Kroeger

One Canadian musician known for his love of gambling is Chad Kroeger, the lead vocalist and guitarist for the rock band Nickelback. Kroeger has been seen at several casinos across Canada and the United States, winning some significant sums of money in the process. In a 2012 interview, Kroeger revealed that he had won $200,000 playing blackjack at a casino in Las Vegas.

Tim Hicks

Another Canadian musician who enjoys gambling is country singer Tim Hicks. Hicks has been spotted playing poker at several Canadian casinos and has even competed in several tournaments. In 2016, Hicks participated in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas and finished in the top 30%.

Celine Dion

Celine Dion has had her fair share of gambling problems. In the early 2000s, she reportedly spent millions of dollars on slot machines and other casino games. Dion's gambling passion became so severe that she had to seek treatment. Fortunately, she was able to overcome her addiction and has subsequently refocused on her music career.

Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette is another famous singer-songwriter who has regularly engaged in gambling. She has been observed at various casinos (including the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas) by overawed onlookers. In an interview with The Guardian, she said that she enjoys gambling as a form of escape and a way to "leave your brain behind for a while". She also admitted that she has lost a lot of money over the years, but accepts this as part of the experience of entertainment.

Michael Bublé

Michael Bublé is a singer and songwriter who has won multiple Grammy Awards for his music. Bublé is highly regarded for his smooth voice and classic style but has also a reputation for partaking in gambling. In 2007, Bublé was reportedly witnessed playing blackjack at a casino in Australia. The casino had a strict no-gambling policy for celebrities - but Bublé couldn't resist the temptation. Reportedly, he was subsequently fined $5,000 for breaking the rules.

David Foster

Canadian-born musician and producer David Foster is also a well-known gambler. Foster has regularly frequented several casinos across the United States and has participated in high-stakes poker tournaments. In a 2018 interview, Foster admitted that he had lost over $100,000 in one single night of gambling.

Bif Naked

Not all musicians gamble for fun - some Canadians, like Bif Naked, have struggled with gambling addiction. The rock singer revealed in her memoir, "I, Bificus," that she had lost over $150,000 in one year of gambling and had to seek treatment for her addiction. Bif Naked has since become an advocate for responsible gambling and has spoken out about the dangers of addiction.

Justin Bieber

One Canadian singer with a troubled relationship with gambling is Justin Bieber. In 2013, he was spotted at a casino in Perth, Australia, where he reportedly spent $4200 on the roulette table. He was also photographed playing blackjack in Las Vegas in 2014. However, in a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, he admitted that he had a problem with gambling and had lost a lot of money over recent years. He subsequently quit gambling and channeled his passion back into his music and overall health.

Drake

Drake is one of the most successful and popular singers of all time, having sold millions of records worldwide and has won numerous awards. However, Drake is also a considerable fan of gambling. In 2018, he reportedly won $100,000 at a casino in Atlantic City. Drake is also known to place some large bets with fellow celebrities - for example he once bet $60,000 against fellow rapper French Montana on a game of ping-pong. While this is not considered gambling in a traditional sense, it reveals that Drake enjoys taking risks and placing high-stakes wagers.

The Weeknd

The Weeknd (real name Abel Makkonen Tesfaye), is also infamous for gambling and has frequented several casinos in Las Vegas. However, in a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, he admitted to having a gambling problem, expressing ambiguously that he had lost "a bunch of money" at the casinos.

Shania Twain

Finally, Shania Twain is another Canadian singer known to enjoy sporadic gambling to relax and unwind. Twain, who is known for her country music hits, has been observed playing blackjack and other casino games in Las Vegas and other gambling hotspots. In a 2011 interview with USA Today, Twain admitted that she thoroughly enjoys gambling but recognizes the risks involved. "It's a dangerous thing to do because it can be very addictive," she said. "It's a bit of a dangerous rush."
