BetMGM has elevated the stakes on their partnership with renowned professional poker player Darren Elias by extending his role as a BetMGM Poker brand ambassador.
Elias is a four-time World Poker Tour champion, winning the WPT more times than any other player. During his career, he has amassed more than $20 million in combined live and online poker tournament winnings.
Elias has been a brand ambassador for BetMGM since 2021. Represented by Above the Felt Entertainment, he will continue to represent BetMGM Poker as the brand continues its mission to deliver high-quality online and live poker experiences across North America.
He will remain a visible part of BetMGM’s online poker campaign as well as continue to represent BetMGM Poker at major tournament festivals, engaging with poker fans, and providing insights for BetMGM Poker players. He will expand that latter responsibility by starting to contribute content to BetMGM’s ‘The Roar’ sports betting blog.
“BetMGM is proud to extend our partnership with a poker champion of the caliber of Darren Elias,” added Luke Staudenmaier, Director of Poker at BetMGM. “Darren’s talent and passion for poker, along with his dedication to excellence, align perfectly with our brand values. We look forward to achieving new milestones together and continuing to provide top-tier online and live poker opportunities to our players.”
“BetMGM Poker has been a tremendous partner and I’ve been proud to be part of the company’s growth for the last few years,” added Elias. “Together, we will continue innovating our online poker offerings and focus on bringing new hybrid online and live poker opportunities to all of BetMGM’s poker and sports markets across the U.S.”
