GGPoker, one of world's leading online poker sites, has teamed up with Great Canadian Casino & Resort. This collaboration means that The Poker Room at Great Canadian Toronto will now be sponsored by GGPoker.

World Series of Poker's (WSOP) new owner—GGPoker has now tied up with Great Canadian Casino & Resort. What's caught the attention of many poker enthusiasts is that Great Canadian Toronto will become the exclusive venue for WSOP events in Ontario. 

This includes the popular WSOP Circuit ring events, though specific dates for 2025 are yet to be announced.

This partnership didn't come out of nowhere. Last spring, Toronto hosted its first-ever WSOP Circuit festival at Great Canadian Toronto, with GGPoker's involvement. The event turned out to be quite popular, attracting over 6,000 entries across its 11-day schedule. 

The total prize pool reached $5.5 million, which was considerably more than the $3.9 million initially expected. Eight WSOP Circuit gold rings were up for grabs during the festival.

Sarne Lightman from GGPoker and Michael Kim from Great Canadian Entertainment both expressed their thoughts on the partnership. They spoke about combining live and online poker experiences and making Toronto a significant location for poker events.

For poker players in Ontario, this partnership could mean more opportunities to participate in high-profile tournaments closer to home. It's a development that many in the local poker community are likely to keep an eye on as more details emerge about future events.
