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.
