Table Of Contents
It's all happening in Ontario right now! Not only has PokerStars on FanDuel Ontario recently launched, but there's also the small matter of the 2026 World Cup landing in Toronto.
So, what better way to commemorate these two monumental occasions than with a bumper $1 million promo?
While we can't promise the World Cup trophy will be staying North America, we can give you all the details of the PokerStars on FanDuel launch in Ontario, as well as a full breakdown on the tantalizing $1 million promotion. Read on to find out how you can get involved.
PokerStars on FanDuel - Ontario Poker's Latest Addition
Let's first kick off a launch that could change the landscape of poker in Ontario. After PokerStars transitioned across to the FanDuel platform in North America (Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania), Ontario has followed suit two months later.
The revamped PokerStars offers much of what players have come to expect from the industry-leading poker operator, but now just on the FanDuel site. The two gambling heavyweights have joined forces to provide Ontario players with an all-in-one platform, encompassing casino, poker and sports betting.
Former PokerStars players can easily migrate their existing Stars account across to FanDuel Ontario, with all funds and balances carrying over. An email should have been sent explaining how to do so. If you didn't receive an email, contact support for further assistance.

$1 Million Spin & Goal Promotion
Now onto something even more exciting. Everyone loves a promotion, especially when you can win $1 million from a $5 buy-in. And that's exactly what PokerStars on FanDuel Ontario are offering with their World Cup Spin & Goal promotion.
Spin for a chance to win $1m in a $5 Spin and Goal with PokerStars exclusively on @FanDuel in Ontario this summer.

Spin & Goal is a soccer-based twist on the classic Spin & Go format, where three players compete in a fast-paced, Sit & Go tournament.
The key draw of this format is the random prize allocation. Before each Sit & Go begins, a box appears on the screen and it spins through different cash values. These values range from 2x your buy-in to 10,000x, with several buy-in levels available.
Buy-in, top prize and potential ROI for PokerStars' standard Spin & Gos (Standard 3-player Hold'em)
| Buy-In Amount | Top Prize | Potential Return on Investment |
|---|---|---|
| $0.50 | $5,000 | 10,000x |
| $0.50 (Power Path) | $10,300 Gold Pass | 20,600x |
| $1 | $10,000 | 10,000x |
| $2 | $20,000 | 10,000x |
| $10 | $100,000 | 10,000x |
| $25 | $250,000 | 10,000x |
*Values may vary by region.
So that's what's on offer for PokerStars on FanDuel's typical Spin & Gos... but 'Spin & Goal' takes things to another level.
Spin & Goal Summary
- $5 set buy-in, no alternative stakes available.
- Always a three-player field.
- Boosted jackpot of $1,000,000 (200,000x)
That's right. Standard Spin & Gos offer a top prize of 10,000x your buy-in, but that rises to 200,000x for Spin & Goal tournaments, offering Ontario players the chance to compete for a truly monumental jackpot.

Do you have to opt-in to the Spin & Goal promotion?
No, no opt-in to the Spin & Goal promotion is required. Simply visit the Spin & Go lobby as normal and the promotional tournaments are there.
How likely is it to win the Spin & Goal jackpot?
We won't sugarcoat it, winning the jackpot isn't likely. Although exact prizes are randomly allocated to each game, we can expect only a handful of the $1m prizes to be won. Even then, you'll need to fight your way past two other players to secure the win.
Can you use tickets for the Spin & Goal promotion?
Yes, one of many things PokerStars was good at was giving away free tickets to promotional tournaments like these. While it's still early days and information on PokerStars on FanDuel Ontario is limited, we can expect tickets to be allocated. What's more, if you have an existing Spin & Go ticket, it's likely you can use this to enter Spin & Goals.
What is the best strategy for Spin & Go tournaments?
The best strategy for these tournaments is to pay more attention to position. It's even more relevant in short-handed, short-stacked games like Spin & Gos. So pick your spots carefully, apply pressure in position and don't be afraid to get it all in. Your starting stack will usually be around 15 big blinds and blinds increase quickly, so there's not much time to work with. Patience won't be rewarded. It's therefore crucial to also know your preflop shoving ranges.
How long is the $1m Spin & Goal promotion running for?
Details haven't yet been published, but we can safely assume that it will run for the entirety of the World Cup.
