“The perfect place to play online”
Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador said:
“As a proud Ontario native, I’m thrilled that poker’s two greatest brands have come together to launch WSOP.CA and offer the Ontario poker community the perfect place to play online. You’ll be seeing exclusive WSOP rewards and tournaments, running on GGPoker’s amazing app – what’s not to love about that?”
WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart added:
“This partnership combines the best poker brand with the top poker software, and we’re thrilled to launch this online poker room for Ontario players. We look forward to seeing Ontarians qualify for the live WSOP in Las Vegas this summer and challenge native son Daniel Negreanu for a gold bracelet.”
Existing GGPoker players based in Ontario can transfer their accounts to WSOP.CA once the new poker room is launched. To do so, a player must log into their GGPoker account, where they will be prompted to consent to an automatic account transfer and download a software update.
Players transferring their account to WSOP.CA will benefit from all of the launch promotions and bonuses as those creating a brand new account.
