WSOP and GGPoker Network launch WSOP.CA in Ontario

The online poker room is now open for players in the Canadian province.

Canada.- The World Series of Poker (WSOP) and GGPoker Network have announced that WSOP.ca, an online poker room regulated by iGaming Ontario, is now fully live after a soft-launch.

Players who have GGPoker accounts must transfer them to WSOP.ca. Once the account is verified and transferred, customers will have access to the benefits of new users on the platform.

WSOP.CA players will have access to exclusive WSOP tournaments and satellites and will automatically be enrolled in the Caesars Rewards loyalty programme.

WSOP.ca is hosting an Ontario WSOP Online Circuit Series, which started on October 1. The tournament series consists of twelve WSOP Ring events, with the winner of each taking home a WSOP gold ring, along with the lion’s share of the prize pool.

WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart added: “Canadian poker players have always been a significant portion of the WSOP playing base. We thrilled to bring the chance for WSOP glory to you. With online bracelets and exclusive qualifiers to the WSOP in Las Vegas, we expect a wave of new WSOP champions from the 6ix.”

Six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador, said: “Growing up in Toronto, I dreamed of playing in the World Series of Poker. Now, twenty-five years after I moved to Las Vegas to chase WSOP bracelets, you can compete online in WSOP events in Ontario, all running on GGPoker’s amazing platform – how cool is that?”

WSOP.com is now live in Michigan. It’s the fourth state where it operates, following Pennsylvania, Nevada, and New Jersey.

In June and July, the 53rd World Series of Poker was held at its new home on the Las Vegas Strip, at Bally’s, the future Horseshoe, and Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. Competitors from around the world competed 88 WSOP gold bracelet events.
