“I am truly excited that all three of our Party brands are entering the Ontario market” Entain’s flagship online poker room partypoker, along with its sister brand bwin, has launched online poker in the Ontario regulated market, joining the existing BetMGM Poker Ontario to form a three-skin online poker network.

Opening their doors under a ring-fenced player pool on Tuesday, both brands are live for real money poker games after receiving authorization from iGaming Ontario (iGO) — the final step needed to launch. All three sites are live with a full complement of poker, casino, and sports betting games.

The two sites connected their player pools with BetMGM Poker, which launched last Tuesday, on the second day of the market’s opening. All three skins share cash game tables and tournaments powered by the partypoker software.

“I am truly excited that all three of our Party brands are entering the Ontario market,” said Vic Walia, Managing Director of Party Brands in a press release. “Both recreational and professional players living in Ontario will be able to experience a world-class gaming product across poker, casino, and sports. As a Canadian and Toronto-Native myself, I am particularly proud of this moment in our company’s history.”
