GGPoker Ontario Sees Record MTT Traffic as PokerStars Absence Boosts Competition

GGPoker Ontario is currently enjoying one of its strongest periods yet, with tournament traffic approaching record levels. The platform has seen a sharp rise in MTT activity over the past two weeks. This surge is driven by two main factors: the ongoing GG Ontario Festival and the temporary absence of PokerStars Ontario.

The GG Ontario Festival, now in its fourth edition, features a hefty C$8 million guarantee, making it the biggest tournament festival ever held in the province. This event, combined with the absence of PokerStars Ontario, has led to a significant increase in traffic for GGPoker Ontario. The room's PRO Score reached 381 on Wednesday, May 13, marking the second-highest figure in the market’s history. The only higher mark remains the all-time peak of 406 recorded in January 2026.

GGPoker Ontario's 30-day moving average for daily MTT entries now sits at a record 381. Sunday, May 10, became its third-biggest tournament day ever, generating 20,866 MTT entries. May 3 and May 4 from the previous week also rank among the top five busiest tournament days in the site’s history.
