The influence of the magnetic field on process of the accretion onto White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) is discussed. Except for the Polars or AM Her objects, the strength of magnetic field can not be measured directly in CVs by modern techniques. But there is growing evidence that most of the types of Cataclysmic Variables classified on the basis of their observational characteristics are behaving in one or the other way under the influence of the magnetic field of the accreting White Dwarf, among other things. Here, we discuss the bulk of CVs that are traditionally considered as non magnetic and review the properties that could be best explained by the magnetic governed accretion process.
