The 2025 WSOP Online bracelet series is now in full swing on the GGPoker platform, available to international players around the globe, but Ontario online poker players have their own dedicated edition as well.
Once again, GGPoker Ontario is hosting the online bracelet series exclusively for residents of the Canadian province, marking the fourth time that Ontarians have had their own series. Just like in previous years, eight bracelets are up for grabs.
Running on the exact same dates as the global series, from August 17 through September 29, the Ontario edition comes with an unprecedented C$7 million in guarantees. This makes it the largest online poker tournament festival ever held in the regulated Ontario online poker market. The highlight of the schedule is, of course, the C$1,000 Main Event, which boasts a guaranteed prize pool of C$500,000.
For Ontario players, this is a chance to be part of the WSOP Online while competing solely against others from the province. Participants will not only be chasing the coveted gold bracelets but will also be competing for a share of millions in prizes throughout the festival.

A new twist this year is that winners will not only walk away with a bracelet and a top cash prize but will also win a package to the 2025 WSOP Paradise series, scheduled for December in the Bahamas. This will be the first time Ontario bracelet winners are awarded such packages. The WSOP Paradise festival itself will feature 15 bracelet events, offering an even bigger stage for champions to showcase their skills.
Alongside the bracelet events, GGPoker Ontario has also lined up a massive side schedule, made up of no fewer than 563 tournaments. Together, these carry an additional C$4.4 million in guarantees, with buy-ins ranging from as low as C$21 to as high as C$1,500.

The series officially kicked off last week, and already one of the eight bracelets has been claimed. Event #1, the C$300 Gladiators of Poker Ontario Opener, drew 1,227 entries, generating a prize pool of C$342,333. That leaves seven more bracelets still to be decided.
The next opportunity comes with Event #2, the C$210 Mystery Millions, which concludes this Sunday, August 24. Like the opener, this is a phased tournament, allowing players multiple Day 1 flights that feed into Day 2 and the final stage. It is also a mystery bounty format, carrying a C$300,000 guarantee. At the time of writing, more than 1,000 entries have already been recorded.
Following that is Event #3, the C$100 Mini Main Event NLH, concluding on September 1, which comes with a C$200,000 guarantee. Just like the earlier events, this too uses the phased format.
On September 7, the spotlight shifts to Event #4, the C$1,500 Monster Stack NLH, which carries a C$200,000 guarantee. The schedule then continues with two C$400 buy-in events: the PLOSSUS and the COLOSSUS, offering guarantees of C$150,000 and C$250,000, respectively.
The Ontario edition’s centerpiece, the C$1,000 Main Event, begins on September 22. With its C$500,000 guarantee, it is by far the most prestigious event on the schedule. The series then concludes on September 29 with The Closer NLH, featuring a C$525 buy-in and a C$250,000 guarantee.
Paradise Package for Each Bracelet Winner
Winners of each bracelet event will receive a WSOP Paradise package. The Main Event champion will take home the most valuable prize: a C$42,000 WSOP Paradise Super Main package. This includes entry into the $26,000 Super Main Event, which comes with a record-setting $60 million in guarantees, plus a nine-night stay at the Atlantis Royal resort and other exclusive perks provided by GGPoker.
Meanwhile, winners of the other seven bracelet events will receive a WSOP Paradise Circuit package valued at $7,000. This includes entry to the $2,500 Circuit Championship Mystery Bounty, along with a six-night stay at the Atlantis Royal and further GGPoker benefits.
As for the rest of the world, the global version of the WSOP Online bracelet series is also well underway on the GGPoker international platform. That edition features 33 bracelet events, highlighted by the $5,000 Main Event, which comes with an eye-popping $25 million guarantee.
