The six-month-old Ontario online poker market is showing signs of saturation. But it could also be on the verge of growth driven by WSOP and future market entrants, the first of which is likely iPoker.
Canada Gaming Review provides exclusive screenshots of the new WSOP Ontario client slated to go live on September 30.
iGaming Ontario (iGO) looks to have taken a page from its counterparts in Europe, which don’t provide revenue by operator, either.
Canadian players can still bag a stack for Day 2 in the WPT Global flagship tournament running through the rest of September.
Canada Gaming Review can exclusively report that WSOP.ca powered by GGPoker will be hosting the first-ever Ontario Circuit Online Series soon after the launch happens.
While the rest of Canada competes in the global WCOOP series, PokerStars ON has some special treats in store for Canada’s biggest province.
The Canadian province saw about $123 million in revenue during the first three months of operation. That’s not bad.
AGCO said Unibet allegedly broke province’s rules on advertising & inducements. BetMGM, DraftKings, & PointsBet have also been fined for similar violations.
The new app from PokerStars lets players at live poker events follow the action from their mobile phones, but Canadians may have to travel in order to use it.
The decision to launch in Ontario on day two of the market “was almost a disadvantage for poker,” according to BetMGM Director of Poker Luke Staudenmaier.
