There are only five golden rings in the famous Christmas carol, but GGPoker Ontario is giving away 18 of them during the WSOP Winter Circuit this December and January. The series began on December 4 and runs through January 9, 2023, with a total of 18 Circuit Rings on offer through the series.
GGPoker Ontario scheduled over a month of hot poker action, and more than half the series is now in the books. Eleven rings have been awarded, but seven more are yet to be claimed before the Winter Circuit concludes.
There is a bit of a gap between ring activities for the main series, with the next chance to win one coming on Boxing Day, December 26. However, the period over Christmas has Day 1 flights for the Christmas Colossus and the New Year’s Mystery Bounty, and there is plenty of sizzling side event action in the coming days ahead. Before the Christmas Colossus plays its Day 2 on December 26, there is more than $165k guaranteed in side events associated with the series.
The big side event guarantees this holiday weekend include a $15k guaranteed Sunday High Rollers event on Christmas Day and a few $10k guaranteed events before the big holiday.

More Rings Than the Christmas Carol
There is still plenty of money left on the tables at GGPoker Ontario in the remaining games in the 2022 Winter Circuit Online Series. With seven Ring events yet to play, more rings are remaining than you get from the 12 Days of Christmas, and over $1 million in guarantees is still up for grabs.
The pre-Christmas season has had a bit of a lull in the chances to win a Ring, so take advantage and get into position to win one down the road. While no more rings will be won before Boxing Day when Day 2 of the Christmas Colossus plays out, players still have plenty of Day 1 shots for that one over the coming days.
Equally, players are already competing for bags in Day 1 flights of the New Year’s Mystery Bounty. Day 2 of the Mystery Bounty runs on Day 2 of 2023 — aka January 2 — but Day 1 flights for both Ring events are playing out on GGPoker Ontario right now, and there is over $350k guaranteed in those two events alone.

Plenty of Non-Ring Action on the Side
