The festival will be named \u201c<em>Ontario Poker Championships<\/em>\u201d as shown in a new tab recently added to the client. <\/p>\n<p>At the moment, no further details can be found on BetMGM Poker\u2019s website in relation to the series, but a \u201c<em>Coming Soon<\/em>\u201d teaser suggests the festival could take place over the next few weeks, most likely in September or early October. <\/p>\n<p>Since BetMGM Poker Ontario hasn\u2019t run any tournament series in its nearly five months of operations in the province, it\u2019s quite difficult to give exact predictions in terms of the size of the festival and the guarantees that will be offered. However, given the \u201c<em>Championships<\/em>\u201d label, we can expect BetMGM Poker\u2019s inaugural series in Ontario to be huge and prestigious. <\/p>\n<p>The upcoming Ontario festival is expected to be much bigger than the recent online tournament series hosted by BetMGM across its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/top-10-us-poker-sites\">US poker markets<\/a>, the <em>Summer PKO Fest<\/em>, which featured 25 events and $480,000 in guarantees. This is mainly because Ontario surpasses any of the three US markets in terms of market size. <\/p>\n<p>Apart from that, BetMGM Poker\u2019s status in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/top-10-canadian-poker-sites\/ontario\">Canadian province of Ontario<\/a> also improved significantly. It grabbed the lead from PokerStars earlier this month and while it\u2019s now in second place, it could very well return to the top spot at any time.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Ontario Poker Championships<\/em> <strong>could feature up to $1 million in total guaranteed prize pool<\/strong>, with players likely to compete in 30 to 50 individual events. As is the case in any tournament series, the schedule will be headlined by a Main Event which could come with a six-figure guarantee. <\/p>\n<p>BetMGM Poker\u2019s Championships Series vs. PokerStars\u2019 ONCOOP<\/p>\n<p>The festival will likely compete with <em>PokerStars\u2019 Ontario Championship of Online Poker<\/em> (ONCOOP) which is also expected to take place in September or early October. ONCOOP will be the operator\u2019s third tournament series in the province since going live there in June. <\/p>\n<p>It hosted its first series, the <em>Ontario Platinum Series<\/em>, in July. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/reviews\/888poker-ontario\">888poker<\/a> is also currently running its first online poker festival in the province.<\/p>\n<p>The excitement is now building up among players on BetMGM Poker Ontario as they wait for an official announcement from the operator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary BetMGM Poker Ontario has teased its first festival offering The Ontario Poker Championships could offer $1 million in guarantees The series could go head to head with PokerStars\u2019 ONCOOP BetMGM Poker Ontario will finally host its first online tournament series since launching in the Canadian province back in April.
