“We are always looking for ways to make the experience for our customers better, and as a leading gaming brand in the newly regulated Ontario market, we couldn’t think of a better way to do this than by partnering with the Toronto teams,” PokerStars marketing director Tom Warren said in a news release.

“Our aim is for this partnership to be a win-win for our players and fans alike – making the experience of playing with PokerStars more epic thanks to the partnership, and finding ways to make the fan experience of watching their teams better too. There’s much to come in the next few weeks and months but for now we want to wish the teams good luck for the new season – we are excited to be on board!”

This partnership is a first for Flutter Entertainment in North America. The company owns both PokerStars and FanDuel, and the MLSE deal showcases the brands in Ontario. Both platforms are featured across Maple Leafs, Raptors, Toronto FC, and Toronto Argonauts in live and online capacities.

WSOP Platform Unveiled in Ontario Market Via GGPoker; Online Circuit Series Offers 12 Ring Events

The World Series of Poker and GGPoker announced the launch of a new WSOP platform for players in Ontario on Friday.

Online poker players in the Canadian province of Ontario now have another option and the chance to battle for World Series of Poker titles. Series officials and the site’s partner GGPoker announced the launch of a new WSOP platform in the province on Friday.

The site is now available for Ontario-based players, following the successful soft-launch of the platform’s software. As part of the announcement, GGPoker also kicked off an Ontario WSOP Online Circuit Series, which began on Saturday. The series features 12 championship ring events and major guaranteed prize pools.

“Growing up in Toronto, I dreamed of playing in the World Series of Poker,” GGPoker ambassador and six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu said in a news release. “Now, 25 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 launches into Canadian province

Ontario revamped its online gaming market earlier this year and now features a completely ringed-in market. Several gaming companies, including online poker, have now entered the regulated provincial market. 

WSOP.com already offers bracelet and ring events for players in these US markets:

GG also partners to offer WSOP-branded series and events on its international platform as well. That includes the WSOP Online, which recently concluded.

The Ontario platform now becomes the latest partnership between GG and the WSOP. Current GGPoker players hoping to compete will first have to transfer their accounts.

The Ontario platform will prompt players logging in to complete an automatic account transfer. Once existing GGPoker players are successfully verified, they can access the platform.

Players can expect online bracelet events in the province at some point as well, according to WSOP executive director Ty Stewart.

“Canadian poker players have always been a significant portion of the WSOP playing base,” Stewart said. “We are 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 (a nickname for the Toronto area).”

Inside the Online Circuit Series at WSOP Ontario via GGPoker

Players looking to win some WSOP hardware have a nice series to check out. Along with 12 ring events, players will find numerous other non-championship events as well.

Many ring events feature multiple starting flights and the schedule features numerous buy-in levels and tournament styles. Players can expect formats ranging from bounties to deepstack to turbos and more.

The $525 Main Event comes with a $300,000 guarantee and starting flights are already underway. Another highlight is the $777 Lucky Sevens with a $100,000 guarantee, set for Oct. 11.

Players with lower bankrolls can check out the $100 Hundred Stack No Limit Hold’em with $100,000 guaranteed. Here’s a look at the entire series.

PokerStars COOP Series Kicks Off This Weekend in Ontario, Canada; $2M Guaranteed

The inaugural Ontario Championship of Online Poker runs Oct. 1-17 at PokerStars with 132 tournaments and an overall guarantee of $2 million.

The Championship of Online Poker has become one of the most recognized tournament brands in online poker. PokerStars is now bringing a COOP series to players in the Canadian province of Ontario this fall.

The inaugural Ontario Championship of Online Poker (ONCOOP) kicks off on Saturday with 17 days of action. The entire series runs from Oct. 1-17 with 132 tournaments and an overall guarantee of $2 million. ONCOOP becomes the largest and richest PokerStars series in Ontario yet.

What to expect from PokerStars ONCOOP

The series brings some major online tournament action to Ontario, which underwent provincial regulation earlier this year. PokerStars launched in June and is now ramping up a COOP festival for Ontario players.

The series offers something for every bankroll and interest. ONCOOP features  a range of Low and High buy-in options, allowing players of all types to get involved. Players will find two main events running on Oct. 16.

The $500 No Limit Hold’em High Main Event features a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool. The $50 Low Main Event comes with $40,000 guaranteed.

Other series highlights include:

  • $200 NLHE Kickoff (Oct. 1) – $20,000 guaranteed
  • $1,000 Sunday Special High Roller (Oct. 2) – $70,000 guaranteed
  • $300 Thursday Thrill PKO (Oct. 6) – $32,000 guaranteed
  • $100 NLHE PKO (Oct. 14) – $18,000 guaranteed

Growing the Ontario platform 

Following the launch of PokerStars in Ontario, players in the Canadian province have already found some nice series.  The first of those was the Ontario Platinum Series, which featured $1 million awarded to players.

The Bounty Builder Series next ran from Sept. 4-19 with another $1 million guaranteed. Since then, Stars officials have focused on planning an even bigger series with ONCOOP. The festival now doubles the guarantee of the first two series.

Here’s a look at the complete series.

PartyPoker Launches First Series in Ontario With Poker Championships Starting Sunday

The first tournament series at PartyPoker Ontario was unveiled Thursday with Ontario Poker Championships running Sept. 11-26 with 74 events.

The first official tournament series at PartyPoker Ontario was unveiled for the Canadian market on Thursday. The Ontario Poker Championships kick off Sunday and run Sept. 11-26 with 74 events and three buy-in levels.

Players will find numerous tournament formats including six-max, seven-max, eight-max, progressive knockout (PKO), hyper, turbo, and deepstack.

“It gives us great pleasure to bring the excitement of a PartyPoker series to players in Ontario with the Ontario Poker Championships,” PartyPoker Canada regional manager Steve Spindler said in a news release.

“With at least 16 starting flights for all versions of the Main Event, chances to qualify from $0.01, and a mix of formats on the schedule, this should be the perfect opening series for players to enjoy. I look forward to seeing our Ontario players at the tables.”

Where to play?

Ontario completely regulated the province’s online gaming and poker market earlier this year. Several operators launched in the province with PartyPoker going live in April.

Players looking to get in the Ontario Poker Championships can not only play on PartyPoker, but also on BetMGM Poker and bwin in Ontario.

All three share player pools as a result of the brands’ relationship with Entain. The company owns the international PartyPoker and bwin platforms. Entertain also partners with MGM Resorts for the BetMGM online poker brand in North America.

What to expect in the PartyPoker Ontario Poker Championships

Players getting in the action have numerous events to check out and a few stand out. The Opener, featuring buy-ins ranging from $2.20 to $55, kicks off the series with guaranteed prize pools from $250 to $5,000. For those seeking bigger action, $320 and $530 high roller events run throughout the series. 

The high version of the Main Event also highlights the series, featuring a $109 buy-in and a guarantee of $50,000. The tournament offers at least 16 starting flights before Day 2 plays out on the final day of the series. Qualifiers start at just $0.01, with centrolls available throughout the festival.

The $22 medium version of the Main Event brings a guarantee of $10,000. The $5.50 low Main Event promises a $5,000 guarantee. All three Main Events run concurrently.

PartyPoker’s Weekender events are also planned for both the middle and final weekend. Guarantees range from $3,000 to $15,000 with buy-ins priced at $11 to $55. At least four starting flights run Friday to Sunday with Day 2 action on Sunday nights.

The Closer PKO Turbo closes out the series on the final day with buy-ins from $5.50 to $109. Look for guarantees of $750 to $5,000. Here’s a schedule of the complete series.

WSOP Roundup: Series Wraps Up With Big Wins from French, Canadian Players; TOC Continues

Gregory Teboul

With the Main Event now in the rearview mirror, most of the World Series of Poker has come to a close but there has been some big action over the last week. That includes big performances by some international competitors.

Players from France found the winner’s circle in the series’ final week including Julien Martini scoring bracelet No. 4. His countryman Gregory Teboul also won some gold and a massive payday as well.

The last week also produced winners from Canada, Latvia, Italy, the Netherlands, and more. Here’s a look at some of the action from last week.

Event #75: $777 Lucky 7s NLHE 7-Handed

This event kickstarted a nice run by French players. Gregory Teboul (pictured in lead image) captured his first bracelet in the Lucky 7s. That brought a huge score of $777,777 with the tournament drawing 6,891entries and a $4.7 million prize pool.

Just prior to this win, Teboul also won a $400 WSOP Daily Deepstack for $31,583 – not a bad few days in Sin City.

“I feel very, very well because it’s not nothing to win a tournament in Las Vegas,” he said after his bracelet win. “It’s my fifth year here and this was the good year.”

Event 78: $2,500 NLHE

Sebastien Aube, of Quebec City, Canada, made it to the top in this event for his first bracelet and $499,636. France’s Jilien Loire took second for $308,817. This was only Aube’s second WSOP cash and taking up the game again recently proved to be a nice decision.

“I played recreationally in my 20s and when I opened my last business in the pandemic, I came upon the MasterClass of Daniel Negreanu,” he said after the win. “I always liked the guy so was like, ‘Alright, let’s go.’ He really psyched me up. It’s the same recipe to succeed in poker as it is in business, so it really called to me.”

The tournament brought in 1,364 entries for a $3 million prize pool with France’s Axel Hallay finishing fourth for $162,627.

Event 79: $10,000 Razz Championship

It was another big day for a French player in this lowball championship. Julien Martini made his entry count, scoring his fourth bracelet for $328,906.

Martini’s previous WSOP titles came in Omaha Hi/Lo, Short Deck, and Eight-Game Mix. In 2018, he also  took third in the Razz Championship for $134,587. This year’s tournament produced 125 entries for a $1.2 million prize pool.

China’s Yueqi Zhu took third for $149,958 and 2021 Main Event winner Koray Aldemir, of Germany finished fourth for $111,991. Brazilian poker pro and GGPoker ambassador Felipe Ramos finished fifth for $84,683.

Online Event 10: $3,200 High Roller

Another Canadian found the top spot at the virtual WSOP tables.  Julien Perouse, of Toronto, won his first bracelet for $324,767 and his fourth series cash, which all came in online events. Israel’s Gabriel Nastasa found third place for $137,055.

Event 80: $600 Mixed NLHE; Pot Limit Omaha Deepstack

A field of 2,107 entries produced a $1.1 million prize pool in this mixed action. Romans Voitovs, of Latvia, brought home his first bracelet and $158,609. Brazilian Francisco Baruffi finished fourth for $54,172.

Online Event 12: $5,300 High Roller Freezeout Encore

Italy’s Gianluca “Inmyhouse” Speranza found success in the penultimate online event. He locked up his first bracelet and $324,625 in an event featuring 245 entries and a $2.1 million prize pool. Japan’s Kazuki “hyahhoo3” Ikeuchi scored a fourth-place finish for $83,300.

A look at other winners

Several other players made deep runs in the series’ final week. In Event 77: $1,500 Mixed NLHE; Pot Limit Omaha, Canada’s Vincent Lam was fourth for $91,800. The United Kingdom’s Richard Kellett finished fifth for $68,274.

Johannes Straver, of the Netherlands, made a huge run in Event 81: $5,000 Freezeout NLHE. He took runner-up for $411,279. Hungary’s Peter Turmezey took third for $292,665 and UK’s Toby Lewis finished fifth for $154,806.

In Event 82: $800 Eight-Handed NLHE Deepstack, another UK player found a nice finish. Gary Whitehead secured second place for $168,093 and Ireland’s Marc MacDonnell was fourth for $95,487.

Tomasz Gluszko, of Poland, reached third place in Event 84: $3,000 HORSE for $87,687. In Event 86: $10,000 Six-Handed NLHE Championship, the Czech Republic’s Pavel Plesuv took runner-up for $509,674. Israel’s Barak Wisbrod scored fifth for $164,304.

India’s Kartik Ved finished fifth in Event 87: $5,000 Eight-Handed NLHE for $172,103. In Online Event 13: $500 NLHE Summer Saver, Bulgaria’s Boris “goldenbracelet” Kolev also finished fifth for $29,738.

Tournament of Champions closes out WSOP

Only one event remains in the 2022 WSOP, the Tournament of Champions. The $1 million freeroll is open to all bracelet winners as well as all WSOP Circuit ring winners. Day 1 kicked off on Monday and the event concludes on Wednesday.

OH, CANADA: PokerStars Officially Goes Live in Ontario, $1M Series Welcomes Players to Platform

Ontario regulators have approved for PokerStars to operate and the platform officially went live in the Canadian province on Tuesday.

It’s go time for PokerStars players in Ontario, Canada. After reverting to a provincially-regulated market earlier this year, Stars became the latest operator to launch in Ontario on Tuesday.

The company announced that the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) granted the company a full registration to operate.

“In many respects Ontario is our home market, given the first ever hand of PokerStars was played here over 20 years ago, so we are thrilled about the new regulated environment within which our players can play,” PokerStars managing director of marketing Tom Warren said in a news release.

“A lot has changed in that time, but our commitment to offering our players the most epic and thrilling experience in the market hasn’t – and we can’t wait to get started.”

Details on PokerStars’ Ontario launch

Since regulating the market, Ontario players will now find a “ringed-in” environment as seen in most legalized US states. Players will play only against others within that province.

The new legal registration provides for a regulated PokerStars-branded offering for Ontario players. This is a similar setup for Stars players in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

The legal registration also authorizes PokerStars’ three verticals of online poker, casino gaming, and sports betting. The new platform features a localized schedule as well.

Online gamers will find more than 5,000 games, poker, blackjack and more. Players will find a seamless in-app and online experience.

Tournament series in the works

Players heading to PokerStars Ontario can already expect some major tournament action with the launch of the new platform. To mark the occasion, the site will host the Ontario Platinum Series from July 10-18 with a $1 million guaranteed prize pool.

“There is much more ahead in Ontario this summer with epic events and experiences in the works for players who join the PokerStars family,” the company noted in announcing the launch. Some of that includes:

  • a new rewards program giving players double rewards throughout July and August
  • a new weekly flagship event known as the New Sunday Major with a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool
  • exclusive with promotions with its gaming partner Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment

For Canadian players outside Ontario, PokerStars will continue to serve these players with the international platform.

BetMGM Expands $1M Poker Championship Qualifying to Online Players in Ontario, Canada

After recently announcing the BetMGM Poker Championship this in Las Vegas, on Thursday the company expanded online qualifying opportunities Ontario.

After recently announcing the new BetMGM Poker Championship this summer in Las Vegas, on Thursday expanded qualifying opportunities to online poker players in Ontario.

The $3,500 championship is set for June 23-26 as part of the Aria Poker Classic and comes with a $1 million guarantee. Players in Ontario can now qualify for the event beginning this weekend. Qualifiers and satellites will run on a rolling basis and BetMGM is awarding six complete tournament packages.

“The first-ever BetMGM Poker Championship descends on Las Vegas during one of the most exciting times of the poker season,” BetMGM director of poker Luke Staudenmaier said in a news release.

“Aria is a legendary poker brand and we’re thrilled that the championship has become an integral part of this year’s Poker Classic. Through our relationship with MGM Resorts and its world-class US properties, we’ll continue to leverage event programming and connect with players both online and in their favorite poker rooms.”

Qualifying via BetMGM

Ontario is the fourth online poker market for BetMGM, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan in the US. The province began regulating the market this year, creating a ringed-in environment as seen in the US.

BetMGM also shares player pools with partypoker in Ontario, but players only compete against others within the province.

The platform is operated by Roar Digital, owned by MGM Resorts and Entain (owner of the international partypoker brand). Roar officials are now planning more utilization of MGM’s popular casino resorts and poker rooms in coordination with the online product.

Ontario players looking to grab a seat in the BetMGM Poker Championship now have several opportunities. There are numerous satellites running with two qualifiers planned for three upcoming Sundays: May 29, June 5 and 12. Winners receive a prize package that include:

  • tournament buy-in
  • travel expenses
  • five-night stay at Aria

More on tap for Vegas satellite winners

In the US, online poker is legal on a state-by-state basis and BetMGM has become one of the country’s major operators. The brand is a skin of the partypoker US Network, along with Borgata Poker. All three skins share player pools in each state as BetMGM and party do in Ontario.

Winners can expect a fun few days of action in Las Vegas. Beyond the championship, the company is promising sportsbook watching parties and other activities.

A $600 BetMGM Poker Mystery Bounty is also planned for June 25. This is the first time Aria has run this popular version of a traditional bounty tournament.

The BetMGM Poker Championship is the second opportunity for online players to qualify online for a live event at an MGM property. In the US, players in the March Poker Mania series could also qualify for a tournament at the Borgata in Atlantic City.

Those efforts now expand to Canadian players in Ontario. Four-time World Poker Tour champion and BetMGM ambassador Darren Elias is excited to see expansion of online- and live event cross-promotions.

“BetMGM is particularly well-equipped to offer these sorts of events as our online platforms can qualify players to events at any of our MGM properties,” he recently told USPoker. “Whether that be Aria and Bellagio in Las Vegas or Borgata and MGM National Harbor on the East Coast, players can expect to play at some of the premier poker destinations in the country.

“This recent Borgata event we ran and the upcoming BetMGM Aria event should only be the beginning. I’m expecting to see more integration between the live and online arenas and even larger events in the future.”
