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).”
