Online poker<\/a> players in the Canadian<\/a> province of Ontario<\/strong> now have another option and the chance to battle for World Series of Poker<\/strong> titles. Series officials and the site\u2019s partner GGPoker announced the launch of a new WSOP platform in the province on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The site is now available for Ontario-based players, following the successful soft-launch of the platform\u2019s software. As part of the announcement, GGPoker<\/strong><\/a> also kicked off an Ontario WSOP Online Circuit Series<\/strong>, which began on Saturday. The series features 12 championship ring events and major guaranteed prize pools.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up in Toronto, I dreamed of playing in the World Series of Poker,\u201d GGPoker ambassador and six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu<\/strong> said in a news release. \u201cNow, 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\u2019s amazing platform – how cool is that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

WSOP launches into Canadian province<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ontario revamped<\/a> its online gaming market earlier this year and now features a completely ringed-in market<\/strong>. Several gaming companies, including online poker, have now entered the regulated provincial market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WSOP.com already offers bracelet and ring events for players in these US markets:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Nevada<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  • New Jersey<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  • Pennsylvania<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  • Michigan<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    GG also partners to offer WSOP-branded series and events on its international platform as well. That includes the WSOP Online<\/strong>, which recently concluded<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    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.<\/span><\/p>\n
