Dan Bilzerian Sparks Controversy as GGPoker's New Brand Ambassador


Dan Bilzerian, a controversial figure in the poker world, has been appointed as a brand ambassador by GGPoker. The move has sparked controversy within the poker community, with many expressing their displeasure with the choice. Vanessa Kade, a Canadian poker player known for her participation in major WSOP tournaments, was particularly vocal about her disapproval. She tweeted, "The idea that Bilzerian is considered the face of poker is truly disgusting. This sexist as the ambassador creates a false impression that he is the face of poker."

Bilzerian responded to Kade's criticism with a tweet saying, "Shut up, hoe, nobody even knows you." Kade responded to the insult with a sense of humor, changing her Twitter profile picture to a hoe, a play on the derogatory term used by Bilzerian.

GGPoker has yet to respond to the controversy, but it remains to be seen how this will affect their partnership with Bilzerian.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
