GGPoker Ontario: licence and operator
iGaming Ontario's catalogue of regulated sites lists GGPoker with the Casino and Poker labels, under
NSUS Limited, at the address ggpoker
The AGCO’s public register shows OPIG1231707 for www.ggpoker.ca, with the status “Active” and a term running from April 4, 2026 until April 3, 2027.
The register ties the domain ggpoker.ca to the brand GGPoker and the app GGPoker Ontario to the brand GGPoker.ca.
NSUS Limited gives Dublin, Ireland as its registered address. GGPoker.ca launched in 2022, only in Ontario, on the same software as the wider GGPoker network.
Money you deposit sits in a segregated bank account that the company holds as agent for iGaming Ontario, apart from its own assets.
Who you play against at GGPoker Ontario
Play is limited to people inside the province: the terms bar using the service from anywhere else, and the site checks your location when you place a bet and at other intervals.
Marketing for the Ontario app talks about “millions of players” and the “world’s fastest growing online poker network”. Those words describe the wider brand; the same listing also says “Ontario Only”.
No regulated Ontario site seats players from outside Canada. Whether the province may allow it is before the Supreme Court of Canada, which heard the appeal on October 7, 2026 and had not ruled as of November 5, 2026. Our page on where the shared-pool case stands has the details.
Games and stakes on GGPoker.ca
Hold’em here is all No Limit. Cash tables run from $0.01/$0.02 to $25/$50 blinds, in Canadian dollars. Each hand uses one 52-card deck, shuffled after every hand.
Pot Limit Omaha runs from $0.01/$0.02 to $10/$20. The five-card version, PLO-5, stops at $5/$10.
- All-In or Fold: Hold’em where every decision is all-in or fold, with buy-ins of 8 to 10 big blinds, from $0.05/$0.10 up to a featured $50/$100 table.
- Spin & Gold: three-handed sit and go games with buy-ins from $0.25 to $200 and a prize multiplier drawn before play starts. At each of the five levels in its prize table, x2 and x3 make up about 92.5% of games, and at those two the winner alone is paid.
- Rush & Cash: after you fold pre-flop you move straight to a new table and a new hand.

GGPoker Ontario tournaments and series
Guaranteed tournaments run every day, with higher guarantees on Sundays. GGPoker can change any guarantee or schedule at any time.
Its two Sunday flagships are Ontario MILLION$, with a $50 buy-in, a $100,000 guarantee and a final day at 20:30, and GGMasters, a $150 freezeout with a $50,000 guarantee at 17:00.
The 2026 GG Ontario Festival ran from May 3 to June 9 with $8 million guaranteed in low, medium and high buy-in tiers.
The 2026 WSOP Online series for Ontario ran from September 13 to October 6 with eight bracelet events, ending in a $1,000 Main Event with a $1 million guarantee.
- Formats include freezeouts, rebuys, N-Stack, progressive bounties, turbos, shootouts and satellites.
- Satellites run 90 minutes before a main event at one-tenth of its buy-in, or 30 minutes before at one-fifth for turbo versions.

Rake and fees
Cash tables take 5% of each pot up to a cap that depends on the blinds and the number of players. From $2/$5 up, the cap is set in big blinds.
Tournaments carry no rake. There’s a fee instead, often a set percentage of the buy-in, shown in each tournament’s lobby.
All-In or Fold tables charge 0.04 to 0.06 big blinds a hand as rake, plus separate jackpot fees.
A new player at a cash table usually pays a posting fee equal to the small blind, and someone who misses blinds while sitting out posts again to return.
GGPoker charges $1 on each withdrawal.

Software and apps
You play through GGPoker’s own client: all wagers have to go through the interface it provides, and the number of tables you can open at once depends on the desktop, mobile or browser version you use.
Smart HUD is built in and shows statistics on the other players at your table when you press their avatar.
PokerCraft, in the mobile and desktop apps, stores your own hands so you can replay, filter or export them.

Fair play and banned tools
GGPoker says its software and platform are tested and certified by BMM Testlabs, an independent lab.
Its network-wide Security and Ecology Policy (version of October 29, 2026) applies to Ontario accounts through the terms and the house rules. Breaches can end in a permanent ban and confiscated funds, and the company can scan your device for banned programs.
- Real-time assistance: software, sites or printed reference material used during a hand, charts included.
- Bots, including partly automated tools and AI.
- Collusion, soft play and chip dumping.
- More than one account, playing on someone else’s account, or sharing yours.
- Choosing tables to avoid stronger players and follow weaker ones, or leaving straight after a big pot.
- Collecting hand histories other than your own, or mass analysis of other players’ data.
- Outside software that interacts with the client, and anything that hides your location or device.
Cashier, payouts and fees
Deposits go through the cashier, which the terms say includes debit cards and options such as Interac and e-wallets. The full list and the minimums sit inside the cashier, so we couldn’t read them.
The withdrawal policy gives 24 hours to process in general, up to 72 in some cases, then 1 to 3 business days for bank transfers. The terms say up to 2 to 5 business days after processing, so the longer figure is the safer guide.
A debit card withdrawal has to be at least $10, except a final one to close an account.
Your bank or payment processor may add its own fee to GGPoker’s $1.
Withdrawals follow a closed loop: up to the amount you deposited, payouts return to the deposit method, and anything above that goes to the method you used most in the last six months.
You can cancel a withdrawal only until it reaches the review stage.
Limits, breaks and self-exclusion
You can set limits when you sign up or later, from the Responsible Gaming tab. A lower limit takes effect at once; a higher limit, or none at all, only after 24 hours.
Requests to return after self-exclusion go through support and carry a further 24-hour wait. Enrolling in BetGuard is separate, and neither one changes the other.
- Deposit limits and loss limits per 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.
- Reality checks every 1, 2, 4 or 6 hours.
- Breaks of 1, 7, 30, 60 or 90 days.
- Self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years, which can’t be reversed once set.
Outside the account, BetGuard shuts you out of every regulated online gaming site in Ontario at once, and our page on responsible gambling tools and help lines covers the rest.
Terms worth reading
- Age: 19 or older, and in Ontario whenever you play.
- One account: winnings on a duplicate account are forfeited.
- Dormancy: after 12 months without a deposit, withdrawal or wager, the account is dormant and GGPoker tries to pay your balance back.
- Leaving tables: leaving a cash table after one hand can count as refusing to play and lead to a temporary block from that blind level.
- Backing: anyone playing a tournament with private backing has to declare it with the Designate Backer feature.

What this card doesn’t cover
We leave out what we can’t read on a primary source. For GGPoker, as of , that means:
- Desktop client downloads and system requirements. From our network the download page redirects away from GGPoker.ca.
- GGPoker’s help articles, which load only as a menu for us.
- Payment methods per method, with minimums and maximums, which sit inside the cashier.
- Rake for the Rush & Cash format.
