BetMGM Poker has revealed that Darren Elias will continue in his role as the brad ambassador. In a press release earlier today, it was announced that the operator and the well-known poker professional have agreed to extend the ambassadorship agreement.

Focus on Providing Top-Tier Poker Experience
Darren Elias has been a brand ambassador for BetMGM since 2021. Elias is a four-time World Poker Tour title winner and has close to $20 million in combined live and online tournament earnings, which puts him in the group of the most successful poker players in the world.
Elias has been very active promoting BetMGM Poker, representing the operator at numerous live events, but also creating fun and engaging content and interacting with poker fans via Twitter and other social media channels.
In the PR announcing the extension of the agreement, Elias stated that BetMGM has been a great partner over the last couple of years, and he was happy to remain a part of their mission to innovate online poker and bring “new hybrid online and live poker opportunities to all of BetMGM’s poker and sports markets across the US.”
The company seems to share the sentiment, as Luke Staudenmaier, Director of Poker at BetMGM, went on to say:
“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.”
Who Is Darren Elias?
Those living outside of the US may not be as familiar with the name of Darren Elias despite his tremendous success on the green felt. Prior to his partnership with BetMGM, he somehow avoided the limelight of the poker media, although he’s always enjoyed the respect of his peers.
Right now, Elias holds the record for the most World Poker Tour wins, with four titles to his name. This is an impressive record on its own, especially given the fact Darren was born in 1986.
However, WPT wasn’t the only tour where he found success. He’s had many notable results in the World Series of Poker (although he is still to win his first bracelet), and he’s found a lot of success on the new PokerGO Tour, which attracts some of the best and toughest players around.
Elias has won close to $20,000,000 playing poker between live and online events, and he’s been on the grind for a long time. His first recorded results on Hendon Mob date back to 2008.
All things considered, Darren Elias is a great asset for BetMGM Poker and someone players and fans can look up to. He also seems to enjoy his role and is dedicated to making the game fun and enjoyable for everyone, which are just the qualities a poker site ambassador needs to have.
