BetMGM Poker and professional poker player Darren Elias have renewed their ambassadorship agreement. Elias, who has been with BetMGM Poker since 2021, is a distinguished player in the poker world, holding the title of the all-time leading four-time WPT (World Poker Tour) champion. His achievements include over $20 million in combined live and online poker tournament winnings.
Since joining BetMGM Poker as a brand ambassador, Elias has played a crucial role in enhancing the brand’s presence within the poker community, contributing to an increase in player engagement and growth. Under the terms of the renewed partnership, Elias will continue to participate in BetMGM online poker campaigns, represent the brand at major tournament festivals, engage with fans across different platforms, and offer insights to improve the company’s poker offerings. He will also start producing content for BetMGM’s blog, “The Roar,” in the upcoming months.

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 US.”
