PokerStars on FanDuel Ontario Giving Away Thousands in Prize Money Literally for Nothing

Exclusively for Ontario players, PokerStars on FanDuel is hosting its Summer Sendoff series with C$10,000 in prizes up for grabs for just 1 cent.

The WSOP Paradise Parlay is here.

If you were one of the lucky ones to win a WSOP bracelet live or online this year, you could be up for extra perks via GG and the WSOP.

Ontario online poker: thousands being given away by PokerStars.

PokerStars on FanDuel Ontario is closing out the summer by running a “centroll” series.

From September 4 through 13, players in Ontario can enter almost-free tournaments, with C$10,000 in prize money, just by putting up a single cent. The events range from turbo No-Limit Hold’em to Pot-Limit Omaha, and most of the prizes are tournament tickets, though some are cold, hard cash.

Poker Hall of Famer Linda Johnson and her partner Jan Fisher barely let the ink dry on their retirement before jumping ship and founding Poker Player Cruises.

After selling out their inaugural Alaska sailing, it seems old habits die hard.

Deepstack is gearing up to launch later this year, promising a poker experience that its creators say will shake up the way people watch the game.

Elton Tsang, who is behind the show, told PokerNews, “We want to present poker in a different way from how people are used to.”

The format borrows inspiration from Squid Game and Netflix’s Drive to Survive, hoping to turn poker into must-watch episodic entertainment. This could be shaping up to the best the poker show of the year.

Managing Director Jelle Moene says the team is learning as they go, filming with a trial-and-error approach. The aim is to attract not just the biggest players, but the biggest audience as well.

“You have to think a little bit in the direction of Drive to Survive. It’s the biggest players. It’s the highest stakes. We make it more cinematic, and we’re learning as we’re going along which is exactly how I think it should be.”

The show is still in production, but Tsang and Moene are betting the poker world is ready for something radically different—at least according to PokerNews.

The game had a $200 buy-in, and the odds of hitting the jackpot are 30 in 10 million. GGPoker’s payout structure is flatter than PokerStars, with $500,000 for the winner, $300,000 for second, and $200,000 for third.
