Students are given a bag of ONE condoms and ONE Lux lube sachets, all packaged in ONE's unique round wrappers, which look and feel more like poker chips. Winners keep their earnings at the end of the tournament.

"We're proud to support safe sex on campus in a fun, welcoming way for new students," said Davin Wedel, founder and CEO of ONE, who launched the company while he was an undergraduate at Tufts University, near Boston, Massachusetts. "ONE's fun, edgy designs appeal to young adults and promote sexual health in creative ways."

"Condom Poker and Dirty Bingo" will take place tonight, from 7-11 p.m., in the Ian D. Beddis Gymnasium. The event takes place during Orientation Week ("O-Week"), hosted by the Brock University Student Union to welcome the Class of 2017.

"The annual Condom Poker is one of our staple events of O-Week," said Jimmy Norman, Special Events Coordinator. "The vision of Condom Poker is to engage Brock students in an atmosphere that promotes safe sex and smart decisions during their first year at University. We thank ONE Condoms for being our exclusive partner for the 2013 Condom Poker Tournament."

In Canada, ONE products are available exclusively at Shopper's Drug Mart.
