WSOP.CA will also provide “a range of launch promotions and bonuses,”

You’ll be seeing exclusive WSOP rewards and tournaments

while official details are yet to be finalized, a live WSOP Circuit event is slated to take place in Windsor, Ontario in either August or September with WSOP.CA feeding in players via the virtual felt

Did anyone else take their money out? . I just withdrew my bank roll from GGPoker today? lets see what the new software will do . It sounds like it will be the same GGPoker software just tuned for Ontario players only.

I don't have a lot of money on so I don't care. I am kind of interested in the satellites to the WSOP circuit event in Windsor though, so I figured I'd just leave my money on it and check those out once they start.

MrCaspan

Yeah I had almost $500 on there so I can put money back if needed for the WSOP but the wsop.ca is not even up yet.. very bad communication on their part as to what is exactly happening

Might not be there fault though. Might be government's issues. Also, circuit event isn't until August or September they said so still a decent amount of time away.

Just got this email:

Originally scheduled for early April, the launch of WSOPca has been delayed due to unforeseen technical issues caused by a 3rd party software. The launch date has not yet been determined.

Ontario players can continue to play at GGPoker, including the WSOP Spring Circuit, up until WSOPca launches and accounts are migrated.

MrCaspan

Nice, well my money is already out so ill just wait haha

Ontario exclusive series in July. Could be a pretty weak field.

That's strange. Haven't tried logging in yet but will consider possibly playing in the series.

Decided to jump onto Stars and play around a bit. Now that it is purely Ontario residents only, the traffic is definitely low. However, there seems to be basically overlays in all the MTTs, but nothing huge. For example, there's the Big $5 running right now. $1K guarantee and only 34 people in it. Might be worth checking some of these out right now. Don't know how long they can guarantee thousands of dollars with less than 50 people signing up.

Fuck it. I take it back. Won't let me connect to a game because it's saying I'm not in Ontario. No VPN on or anything. Stupid.

marban

so i sent PS an email asking about my invalid phone number....it responded to put a 1 beside the number...duh..now im on..trigs..did you get your problem solved yet?

I think the problem is a wifi issue. At least that's what I've concluded after spending a couple hours trying everything I could think of. Eventually just gave up but probably will try again at some point.

Just an FYI, I played a $2. tourney last night, first time I have tried. First try said I am not in Ontario, logged off and back on and it let me register no issue. Not impressed with the few cash games going. No PLO even..

Yeah, barely any cash games running but seems like most MTTs have overlays from what I saw.

Apparently a Windows 10 update removed my wifi option on my computer. Now I have to figure out how to reinstall it. I need wifi for Stars' geolocation to work. Was looking into reinstalling it but not sure how exactly.

Works on my phone at least.

Yeah, I was looking at the sngs too. No one was playing them at all. No PLO cash games at all. Pretty sad.
