This weekend, Ontario residents playing in the WSOP Winter Circuit Series have the chance to earn an early Christmas present in the form of a share of a hefty guarantee or a beautiful gold circuit ring.

In the well-known Christmas song, there are only five golden rings, but throughout the WSOP Winter Circuit in December and January, WSOP Ontario will be giving away eighteen. There will be a total of 18 Circuit Rings available over the series’ duration of December 4, 2018, through January 9, 2023.

More than halfway through the World Series of Poker Ontario has come and gone. Eleven rings have been given out thus far, but there are still seven more to be won until the Winter Circuit is through.

The next opportunity to win a main series bout comes on Boxing Day, December 26. However, there is plenty of hot side event activity in the days leading up to Christmas, with Day 1 flights for the Christmas Colossus and the New Year’s Mystery Bounty. More than $165k will be awarded in satellite tournaments leading up to Day 2 of the Christmas Colossus on December 26.

There will be many $10k guaranteed events leading up to Christmas Day, including a $15k guaranteed Sunday High Rollers tournament on Christmas Day.

An Abundance of Bells Greater Than That Found in Any Christmas Carol
At the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Ontario, the remaining games of the 2022 Winter Circuit Online Series have a lot of prize money to be won. Seven Ring events have not yet been played, meaning more rings and more than $1 million in guarantees remain than you get on the 12 days of Christmas.

After a period of increased Ring giveaways leading up to Christmas, the odds have slowed down for the time being. Now is the time to position yourself for future Ring giveaways. The second day of the Christmas Colossus won’t start until Boxing Day, but there are still many days left for participants to get in their Day 1 shots for that tournament.

Players are also vying for bags in the first New Year’s Mystery Bounty flights of the year. Day 2 of the Mystery Bounty is scheduled for January 2, 2023, however Day 1 flights for both Ring events are now taking place on WSOP Ontario and have a combined guarantee of more over $350,000.

This includes one event with a $15,000 prize pool and three with $10,000 prizes each.
