The World Series of Poker® (WSOP) and GGPoker Network today announced the addition of three WSOP bracelet events on WSOP.ca, an online poker room fully regulated by iGaming Ontario, on Sunday, October 23 and Sunday, October 30.

The three events will act as the finale to this year’s WSOP Online, which saw dozens of prestigious gold bracelets won at WSOP.com (catering to US-based players) and GGPoker (which operates in various international markets).

“Winning authentic WSOP gold bracelets is one big reason to play on the licensed and regulated WSOP.ca site in Ontario,” said World Series of Poker Executive Director Ty Stewart. “We’re expecting these tournaments will be some of the biggest of the year, therefore it’s a great way to celebrate a highly successful launch.”

Each event winner will receive the lion’s share of the prize pool, in addition to a WSOP gold bracelet, poker’s most sought-after trophy.

“Three WSOP bracelets will be won this month by Ontario-based players, and I’m thrilled to be the one to reveal this exciting news,” said six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “Poker is in a great place right now in my home province, and it’s so cool that Ontarian players can play for a WSOP bracelet from home; what a way to end WSOP Online 2022!”
