KKPoker, a mobile poker app, is once again set to host its Vegas Dream poker tournament with big prizes up for grabs, giving Canadian players an exclusive path to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) championship event in Las Vegas in July.

Canadian Qualifiers
KKPoker Vegas Dream starts January 27 and runs through June 8. The WSOP is scheduled to take place from May 27 to July 16 at the Horseshoe and Paris Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Buy-in for Vegas Dream is $0 to $300, with five prize packages worth $12K ($10K for any Vegas tournament buy-in, including WSOP, along with a $2,000 travel allowance) on the line for Canadians.
5 Prize Packages
Last year, Vegas Dream qualifier Robert Renaud from Canada finished 41st in the WSOP main event event, taking home $256,205.
Fraser Dametto, head of operations and Canadian regional manager for KKPoker, says they have been offering the Vegas Dream package for two years.
“Last year, during our global package giveaway, we had package winners across Japan, New Zealand, and Europe,” he said. “However, Canadian players stood out with significantly higher interest. The closer location and easier accessibility to Las Vegas, also with their enthusiasm for the destination, have made it a top choice for Canadians. As a result, this year we’re excited to offer five exclusive packages specifically for Canadian players, in addition to the standard packages available to everyone.”
Popularity of Online Poker in Canada
Canada has a deep-rooted history with poker, which has contributed to a higher average age among players compared to countries where the game has only recently gained mainstream popularity, he added.
Take our ambassador David Dongwoo Ko as an example,” he said. “He began playing recreationally just two years ago in a university club and has already risen to become a professional player with over $850,000 in live earnings and counting.”
As part of the program, KKPoker will also offer Vegas Dream winners the opportunity to experience a players’ party, visit the KKPoker Summer Villa, and play in special SNGs to win trips such as helicopter night tours of the Las Vegas Strip.
