The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has granted PokerStars full registration to operate in the Canadian province of Ontario. To celebrate, PokerStars is launching the Ontario Platinum Series offering some $1.5 million in guaranteed prize pools.
PokerStars' latest license to its portfolio allows it to offer regulated online poker, casino, and sports betting to Ontario residents. Everything that Ontarians loved about playing on PokerStars.com will be present and correct on the new Ontario-only platform.
Tom Warren, Managing Director of Marketing for PokerStars, considers Ontario to be PokerStars' home market with the company having strong Canadian roots.
