- With the busiest days for online poker tournaments underway, nearly every poker network in the Ontario regulated market has scheduled their biggest tournament series, led by GGPoker with its WSOP-branded Ontario Online Circuit Series boasting over CAD $2.5 million in guarantees.
- PokerStars Ontario, which entered the market in late June, is not holding back and has scheduled its first-ever Championship series promising over CAD $2 million in guarantees while 888poker Ontario is currently hosting a modest XL Autumn Series with over CAD $200,000 in prize money.
- In total, nearly CAD $5 million in guaranteed series prize pools are showcased in October, spread out over just three tournament series.
The regulated Ontario online poker market is well set with the launch of WSOP in association with GGPoker late last month. The market now comprises four poker networks and six online poker rooms, making Ontario one of the most competitive segregated poker markets.
With the launch of WSOP Ontario, the de facto two-tiered system — regulated sites with small, segregated pools competing with those that remain unregulated and accepting Ontario players — has ended, creating a fair competition.
