Richest tournament series in history to run May 3 through May 31
GGPoker revealed further details about the WSOP Super Circuit Online Series, a poker tournament series running from May 3 through May 31.
The series will comprise 595 events, with over $100,000,000 in guaranteed prize money to be won. This makes GGPoker’s WSOP Super Circuit Online Series the first online tournament series in history to break the nine-figure barrier; the previous record stood at $85 million.
Eighteen WSOP Super Circuit Online Series ring events will headline the series, and for each a coveted WSOP Circuit gold ring will be awarded to the event winner, in addition to the lion’s share of the guaranteed prize money.
The ring events include:
-
WSOPC Ring Event #1, May 3: Covid Charity $1,000,000 guaranteed ($1,111 buy-in with $111 of each player’s buy-in donated to the Nevada COVID-19 Task Force)
-
WSOPC Ring Event #5, May 3-10: BIG $500 $2,000,000 guaranteed ($500 buy-in, phased tournament with multiple starting days)
-

-

-
WSOPC Ring Event #17, May 10-31: Main Event $5,000,000 guaranteed ($1K buy-in, phased tournament with multiple starting days)
WSOP Super Circuit Online tournament buy-ins start from $50, with the $25K buy-in High Roller Championship the most costly event to play.
As is customary with offline WSOP Circuit events, the WSOP Super Circuit Online Series will also extend two invitations to the $1,000,000 freeroll World Series of Poker Global Casino Championship official bracelet event, one to the Main Event winner and one to the overall series points leader.
GGPoker players will be able to qualify for all WSOP Super Circuit events via satellite tournaments, ensuring a shot at big prizes and WSOP gold rings for a potentially low buy-in.
“GGPoker is the first and only poker room to guarantee at least $100,000,000 in cash prizes in a single tournament series – our WSOP Super Circuit Online Series is a game-changer in the world of poker!” said Jean-Christophe Antoine, Head of GGPoker. “There’s so much to play for at GGPoker this May; oodles of big prizes, eighteen WSOP Circuit gold rings and a whole lot of tournament glory.”
Ty Stewart, Executive Director of World Series of Poker, continued, “GGPoker just seriously raised the bar. We’re tremendously proud to see that GGPoker’s first international WSOP-C series will sit amongst the biggest online events of all time.”
New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, spinning for cash prizes each time they reach a new status level.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
Prime Skill Games Inc.
