About GGPoker
GGPoker is the busiest poker site on the planet, and since late 2024 its parent owns the most famous name in the game outright, having paid US$500 million for the World Series of Poker brand. Licensing, payout-speed and lobby figures on this page track UniPlay’s independent GGPoker review, which scores the room 6.3/10: https://uniplay.ca/casinos/ggpoker-review
In Ontario that history is direct: the local room launched on September 30, 2022 as WSOP Ontario and folded into the GGPoker banner after the acquisition. It is the one entry in our catalogue where slots are the side dish.
It holds an iGaming Ontario registration under AGCO oversight (licence OPIG1231707, verified active) with a clean local record, and it is the only regulated online road to WSOP bracelet and ring events in Canada. The software is the market's best — Smart HUD, All-In Insurance, PokerCraft analytics, EV cashouts — and Interac withdrawals frequently clear in one to two hours. The terms grade mostly fair. Two honest caveats: the ring-fenced Ontario player pool means smaller fields than the global network, and the attached casino wing of 1,000-plus slots is deliberately secondary.
GGPoker in Ontario's regulated market
GGPoker operates legally in Ontario's regulated online gambling market, which opened on April 4, 2022. The market is conducted and managed by iGaming Ontario, a subsidiary of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), which registers and regulates every operator. GGPoker holds AGCO registration OPIG1231707, listed as Active — you can confirm it on the AGCO's public registrant list. Only operators that clear this registration may legally offer real-money play to players in Ontario, and all play must go through the operator's official Ontario site, ggpoker.ca.
What to expect from GGPoker
The regulated Ontario home of the World Series of Poker brand, licensed in the market, with the best poker software available and fast 1-2 hour Interac payouts.
