Close to 300 players have so far qualified for the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event on GGPoker’s dot-com platform. The operator has awarded more than $3.5 million as part of its Road to Vegas satellite campaign, but it’s not done yet as the site is giving away 200 more seats.

Nearly 300 Seats Awarded on Dot-Com Platform

GGPoker earlier pledged to send at least 500 players to this year’s WSOP Main Event and it’s well on track to fulfill that promise with nearly 300 seats already given away to its dot.com players via its Road to Vegas promotion which kicked off back in March. Considering the current pace at which the Main Event seats are being won, the figure is likely to exceed 500. 

Players who win their way into the Main Event via GGPoker each receive a $12,000 package which covers the $10,000 Main Event buy-in, seven-night stay at the Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, $1,000 in travel expenses, access to the GGPoker Platinum Lounge, as well as merchandise and gifts.

Satellites Still Running on GGPoker

For those who have yet to take a shot at the WSOP Main Event online satellites on GGPoker, they are still running 24/7, and available for as low as $1.

All in all, GGPoker has awarded more than 350 seats across multiple platforms – 289 on the dot-com platform, 23 on GGPoker Ontario, and over 40 on ClubGG.

GGPoker is running a massive online poker series for its Ontario players this month with $3 million in guaranteed prize pool up for grabs. The GGPoker Ontario Festival (GGOF) is a mini version of the GGPoker World Festival which runs on the operator’s global online poker platform.

GGPoker Ontario Festival Initial Details

The online series, exclusive to Ontario players, kicks off on May 7 and runs until June 4. Ontarians have hundreds of tournaments to choose from with total guarantees of $3 million.

The festival features three buy-in tiers – Low, Medium, and High. Players can enter the series starting at CAD 2.50, with the highest buy-in set at CAD 1,500. The schedule is headlined by a CAD 1,500 buy-in, CAD 200,000 GTD Main Event. 

GGPoker Brings Mystery Bounty to Ontario

The GGPoker Ontario Festival marks the first time that the operator is running a Mystery Bounty tournament in the ring-fenced market. The GGOF schedule features four Mystery Bounty tournaments with buy-ins of CAD 5.25, CAD 52.50, CAD 210, and CAD 525. Each of these tournaments will have multiple Day 1 flights, with players competing for CAD 425,000 in combined guarantees.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) will make its much-awaited London comeback this year, and it happens just after the 2023 WSOP live festival in Las Vegas. The operator will be heading to the UK capital on July 27 for the first stop of the WSOP Circuit (WSOP-C) 2023/24 season. 

WSOP-C London – Initial Details

The full details of WSOP-C London have yet to be released, but it’s already been confirmed that it will take place from July 27 to August 13 at the JV Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel. WSOP has also announced GGPoker as its official online partner for the upcoming series. 

The WSOP-C London will culminate in a £3,300 Main Event, but there are other key events where players can win big, including the £560 Colossus, £1,100 Mystery Million, and £10,400 High Roller.

The package includes the $10,400 Main Event buy-in, hotel accommodation at Wynn Las Vegas, $1,000 cash, and a dedicated ClubWPT VIP host. In addition to that, the winners will be invited to a meet & greet with WPT talent and will also receive ClubWPT branded merchandise.
