Biography Christoph Vogelsang is a German professional poker player who hails from Sassenberg, Munster, but who resides in London, United Kingdom. Vogelsang began his online poker career in 2010, making several $10 deposits. The talented, analytical German built a substantial bankroll within only a few weeks and found himself playing $25/$50 against some of poker’s best players. Vogelsang was known as “Tight-Man1” on the now-defunct Full Tilt Poker but now mostly grinds online at PokerStars, where he is known as “26071985,” which is Vogelsang’s birthdate. Vogelsang had built a glowing reputation online before he stepped into the live poker tournament world. His first recorded cash on his Hendon Mob profile came in October 2013 when he finished third in the 50,000 Super High Roller at EPT London, a result that netted Vogelsang 383,200 ($621,321). Less than a year later, Vogelsang finished third in the $1,000,000 The Big One for One Drop at the 2014 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and walked away with $4,480,001 for his efforts. A slew of stellar results followed before Vogelsang won his first major live event. He triumphed in the $300,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl in 2017 and scooped the $6,000,000 top prize, which is still his largest-ever haul. By October 2023, Vogelsang has enjoyed a seven-figure score on eight occasions.

Is WPT Global Poker Available in Ontario?
WPT Global poker is available across much of Canada, but due to Ontario’s provincial legislation, players from Ontario are blocked from accessing the platform. Ontario has a regulated online poker market that requires operators to obtain a local license and comply with strict rules, such as ring-fencing player pools so that Ontario residents compete only against other Ontario-located players. Since WPT Global operates under an international license from Curaçao and does not have an Ontario-specific license, Ontario players cannot legally use WPT Global to play poker. Instead, Ontario residents must use provincially licensed platforms like GGPoker Ontario or 888poker Ontario to participate in online poker, including the WPT World Championship events.
Is WPT Global Legal in Canada? Latest 2025 Update
WPT Global is legal for most Canadian players as the platform operates under a legitimate license issued by the Government of Curaçao (license #365/JAZ). This license ensures that WPT Global adheres to regulatory standards, including using certified Random Number Generator (RNG) technology, conducting KYC verification, and applying robust security measures like two-factor authentication and IP/device tracking. WPT Global is operated by Seventip N.V. and is recognized as a secure and fair platform for online poker players. While the Curaçao license is not the strictest globally, ongoing regulatory reforms and increased enforcement under EU pressure enhance the platform’s credibility. This makes WPT Global a safe option for Canadian poker players outside of provinces with specific restrictions.

Here is a detailed, complete blog-style answer about playing online poker in Ontario in 2025: Playing online poker in Ontario is fully legal and regulated as of April 4, 2022, a landmark date when the Ontario government officially opened its doors to licensed online gambling operators.
