Canada.- The World Series of Poker (WSOP) and GGPoker Network have announced the opening of WSOP.CA, a fully-regulated online poker room, in the Canadian province of Ontario. It will launch in early April, subject to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario.

WSOP.CA players will have access to exclusive WSOP tournaments and satellites and will automatically become enrolled in the Caesars Rewards loyalty program. Once the new poker room is launched, GGPoker players in Ontario will have the opportunity to transfer their accounts to WSOP.CA.

WSOP executive director, Ty Stewart, said: “This partnership combines the best poker brand with the top poker software, and we are thrilled to launch this online poker room for Ontario players. We look forward to seeing Ontarians qualify for the live WSOP in Las Vegas this summer and challenge native son Daniel Negreanu for a gold bracelet.”

Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker global ambassador, added: “As a proud Ontario native, I am thrilled that poker’s two greatest brands have come together to launch WSOP.CA and offer the Ontario poker community the perfect place to play online. You will be seeing exclusive WSOP rewards and tournaments, running on GGPoker’s app.”
