Good riddance<\/h2>\n

It looks like controversial playboy Dan Bilzerian is no longer a GGPoker brand ambassador. He is missing from the brand ambassador page on GGPoker\u2019s website, with numerous reports stating that Bilzerian was dropped on the same day as International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

\n

unclear if the agreement came to a natural end or if GGPoker terminated the relationship<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pokerfuse<\/em> reported that the social media personality\u2019s image and name were present on the website on Monday, but not on Tuesday. The special Bilzerian emotes that players could use are also now missing. It is unclear if the agreement came to a natural end or if GGPoker terminated the relationship.<\/p>\n

A tumultuous relationship<\/h2>\n

GGPoker launched in 2017 and has grown into one of the world\u2019s largest poker sites. It has numerous brand ambassadors on board, including Daniel Negreanu, Jason Koon, and Fedor Holz. GGPoker originally joined forces with Bilzerian in December 2020<\/a>, with Bilzerian causing plenty of controversy before and during his ambassadorship.<\/p>\n

\n

large portion of the poker community was not happy with the partnership<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A large portion of the poker community was not happy with the signing, particularly because of Bilzerian\u2019s treatment of women over the years. The ending of the relationship comes almost a year to the day after GGPoker terminated an affiliate deal with Vanessa Kade<\/a> following her much-publicized dispute with Bilzerian.<\/p>\n

Our very own David Lappin echoed the thoughts of many in the poker community after learning that Bilzerian is apparently no longer a GGPoker ambassador:<\/p>\n

For what it\u2019s worth, binning Dan Bilzerian on #iwd<\/a> (if that\u2019s what GG have done) isn\u2019t cute, laudable or to be celebrated. The fuckhead should have never been hired + it was a cynical move to do so. Shame on them for giving a con-man a platform to help him appear more legitimate.<\/p>\n
