Ontario's Answer to Global Prestige

For poker fans, the COOP is a big deal. It is the direct regional equivalent of PokerStars' global World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP), itself one of the most prestigious online series in the world. Much like the live World Series of Poker (WSOP), winning a COOP "Championship" event is a career-defining achievement that carries serious weight in the poker community. This is your chance to win a title of that caliber without leaving home.

Mark your calendars. Prepare your bankroll. This is where champions are made.

The Championship of Online Poker runs September 12-29, 2025, exclusively on PokerStars Ontario.
