There are a few more events left in the first WSOP Ontario Circuit Series, including the $250K Main Event, which is all but guaranteed to have an overlay.
The first-ever WSOP Ontario Circuit Series has entered its final week of action, and so far, it has been a good one for the players. Having launched a couple of weeks ago, WSOP Ontario went all out with the guarantees for its first major series hosted in the province, leading to some pretty hefty overlays.
The series comprises 12 ring-awarding online events, with buy-ins as low as $55. In addition to the rings, all tournaments have pretty ambitious guarantees of either $50,000 or $100,000, and not all the events have hit their targets.
Four of the first seven tournaments saw overlays, the biggest in the $55 FIFTYSTACK Bounty. The event guaranteed $50,000 but attracted just 735 runners, resulting in an overlay of $13.2K.
While the early results caused WSOP Ontario to reduce guarantees for a few of the remaining tournaments, there is still plenty of value to be had. This is especially true for the $525 Main Event, which kept its quarter-of-a-million guarantee and will almost certainly have a sizeable overlay!
All players inviting their friends to join WPT Global via their personal links will qualify for 50% of their friends’ cash game rake for the first three months.
The latest promotion over at WPT Global encourages players to recommend the poker app to their friends and get them to sign up. For doing so, the room will give you 50% of the cash game rake generated by your friends for the first three months of their play.
Inviting players over to WPT Global is easy enough. Simply tap or click the ‘Invite’ button in the app or on the desktop client, and choose from available options. You can share the invitation via Facebook and Twitter or get a personal link that you can send to your friends via email and text message.
All players joining via your personal link will be tagged to you, and you will be able to see the amount of rake they generate over the qualifying period on the ‘Invite’ page. You can use the ‘Redeem Now’ button to collect your earnings at any time and transfer them to your cash balance.
Of course, as new players, they will qualify for the generous WPT Global welcome offer consisting of a 100% deposit match bonus up to $1200 and free $55 satellite tickets that could get them a seat in the big $15M guaranteed WPT World Championship in Las Vegas, so it is a win-win situation for everyone involved!
