PokerStars' Absence Boosts GGPoker Ontario's Player Numbers

PokerStars has gone offline in Ontario for an undetermined amount of time as it prepares to return under the new branding and platform as PokerStars on FanDuel Ontario. This temporary absence has created a gap in the Ontario online poker environment, leading players to seek alternatives.

GGPoker Ontario is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this situation, experiencing a notable upward trend in player numbers. The platform hit a two-year high for MTT entries last Sunday, indicating a strong player influx.

GGPoker Ontario offers several attractive features, including the biggest tournament guarantees in the market, online bracelet and WSOP Circuit series. The platform's quality player traffic ensures good action around the clock, making it a popular choice among serious grinders. While the exact date of PokerStars' return is uncertain, the (re)launch is expected sometime over the next few weeks.
