Ontario poker players continue to enjoy attractive and action-packed online poker tournament series and schedules across the province's licensed operators
What's New in Ontario Poker?
These are the most recent happenings in Ontario Poker.
It all revolves around tournaments as the Ontario poker market heats up with each site competing with their own attractive tournaments series every season.
For me it's front and center, as a tournament grinder. Though these sites are also fiercely duking it out over market share in cash games. The competition that the Ontario poker market format provides is a huge win for the players in the province (as opposed to somewhere like BC or Quebec that have one licensed operator). This huge upside can be clearly seen in the massive tournament offerings we are provided with, despite the limited size geo-restricted player pool.
