Poker in Ecuador
Before 2010 poker in Ecuador was showing signs of increasing interest taken by local residents in card games. Among the most popular choices (along with Oasis Stud Poker and Texas Hold’em) was Caribbean Stud Poker. In 2008, Ecuador hosted the Latin American Poker Tour, during which a native of Ambato, Ecuador – Carlos “El Matador” Mortensen – became the first player to win the World Championship events at both World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour. Unfortunately, all of the 55 casinos, bingo halls and slot parlors were banned in 2011. 

Online Poker in Ecuador
In 2011 all gambling activity was banned in Ecuador. There are no local online casinos where Ecuadorians can enjoy their favorite game in online poker rooms either. While Ecuador's government does not allow local companies to run online, there are hundreds of such sites located in other countries, and many of these will let players in Ecuador use them. A lot of these sites are in Spanish. Foreign online poker sites are a great way for players to play online poker in Ecuador, along with live tournaments and more. Payment methods for accounts set up from Ecuador include credit and debit cards as well as specialized e-commerce services.
