When I first saw Dan Bilzerian is joining GG Poker this I thought it was a joke, but no its really happening.

https://en.ggpoker.com/team-ggpoker/dan-bilzerian/

I guess he has blown through all of his trust fund money with his failing company and needs more cash. The only one of his self proclaimed accomplishments in poker that can be verified is that he cashed in the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event for $36,626.

Is this a good move for GG Poker? Is it a good look for GG to have someone like this on their team of 'pros'?

Twitter is ablaze with this one - it's not going to go away too quickly.

I my opinion it a great move from GG, he has more then 30m followers, it will bring a lot of new customers, more gamblers in this case so I guess its a win win situation for GG and for old players like me who are looking forward this because there will be MUCHO GRANDE new fish to feed on.

People might not like what's he's doing and how he is, not in the guns and so on but anyhow he's a bright person and intresting to watch

Yes it is all just advertising really draw as many of the new depositors in as possible to be raked if it works why not it is their business.

he recently bought his poker room which only operates in India

Is having a shit ton of inherited money the same as being a poker pro?

This will be interesting to say the least. One thing we can be certain he isn't likely to be apologizing for anything.


It's hard to shame somebody with that wealth, all those women, and that lifestyle. The traditional put downs are just not going to work.

It will be funny watching the other men backtracking though.

Its very noticeable how the same people who go mental about a guy like Dan Bilzerian, who bang on about "equality" and "privilege" and other progressive nonsense, live highly privileged lives themselves and never have anything to say about their govts slaughtering their way across the globe. Its all about power and wealth, and truly most of these people only care about themselves.

Good for Dan. Im sure GG wont regret this one.

To be honest, don't know enough about the guy to form an opinion..

You think equality is 'progressive nonsense'?

This is the first time I've read about it. That's their business. At first glance, there is nothing special about it.

Just another Poker player.

Really didn't appreciate the video of him throwing the lady of the roof, looks like the poor lass catches a foot/leg on the side of the pool on the way in, ouch!

Silly of her to allow this to happen too of course but I guess we all make bad decisions at times...

Is it true he was a SEAL? If so, I find that incongruent with his behaviour, most decent militaries (especially special forces) usually instill a degree of decorum and respect into their ranks.

The movement of GG poker with this is only publicity since Dan Bilzeran is a public figure who knows how to manage his social networks with his lifestyle, but as a "professional poker player" never because he is a millionaire fan of the game, with This GG poker move will attract more fans in the us and also attract the high stakes sharks and they will sit with him at the high stakes cash tables to try to take his money and what they give bilzeran it could be a Big Fish.

Thus, the GG poker management wants to attract more players to their network. It is clear that some fans will register in this frame, but this will not be the number of players that GG poker is hoping for. Maybe they are preparing a promo "strawberry" with the participation of girls against the background of the complete legalization of cannabis.))

If whatever poker site wants to get as much new clients as possible then they probably should think about expanding to various markets rather than just "hire" some celebrity lol ...

Welcome aboard, Dan!
Dan'O

Without a doubt, with this transfer by GGPoker we will see more action in the high stakes in the regular games

Well, from GG's standpoint, it's cheap advertising. With his huge following, it may draw a LOT of people to their platform, and especially now with people being inside, they will have free time to kill, and may play poker. His character is definitely questionable, no doubt, as I've watched Vanessa Kade stream in the past, and she's a good streamer and by all accounts, pleasant on stream.

As for how it's going to play out, I don't know - I can't say I've followed it that closely, but it definitely is a polarizing issue.

Welcome Dan

Well, as usual, Social media whined and moaned for 4 days , now a week later and it is as if it never happened, OH , except for Bilzarian is cashing that GG check with Dannny Boys full-throated approval. I mean D-negs has never spoken a bad word about a Poker Site that "sponsors" him. Here is 1 of his tweets so I am not accused of making things up without sources.

It appears from the comments, people think this is a no-brainer for bringing in huge amount of "new" players. I have to disagree, we watched Stars do the same for a few years they dumped Poker "Pros' and hired comedians and celebrity types and I don't think it brought them any new players, BUT - the people who hold the purse strings must think it is the way to go, in the end, it leads to higher rake for the actual players, almost no rewards for loyal volume players ??? Oh well, it is 2020 , and the world is upside down.

GG does not need a bilzerian player, GG needs a capitalist Bilzerian.

I already knew I joined last year I also played by getting a free ticket with her at a table unfortunately she dropped out soon: D she could win that you paid in front of her with danbliz code

for me it doesn’t matter at all

Dan gets a bad rep as he does bring it on himself but hes a great self promoter

You got that right on the part about his self-promotion abilities.

I also think that. To me it seemes likes hes just a wanna be poker bully, with average poker skills and he has no other option than hoping to get sponsored by any poker site

When I read it I couldn't believe it!
Great move for GG! Excellent marketing

Good for him.

I can not believe it. Very good for him. Good luck in the future.

Eh, this is just an advertisement for GG. They know that Dan has followers so they are hoping to get a portion of them. Good business move by GG, but I wonder what the financial terms of Dan's deal would be.

That's big marketing campaign of GG poker great movement)

One picture defines this partnership

Wow I just read about the Dan Bilzerian/Vanessa Kade issue and really GG Poker this is 2021 and comments less offensive than this guy's "Hoe" remark have ended peoples careers, give your head a shake GG. and the timing. International Women's Day?????

Obviously GG Poker is not concerned about appearances...or integrity..I guess it's all about Bottom Line$$$

Well, very good for him, I really congratulate him, many successes.

My perspective is we live in a low information age - most of Bilzerian's fans are said to be young boys (guns and girls!) and most others do not seem to pay close attention to his shtick...they just presume him a baller.

What GG was thinking I do not know. Apart from the fact his father bilked people of tens of millions (never recovered and presumed to be the source of the sons wealth - not poker as claimed) Dan Bilzerian appears to have just taken his own recent investors for a 50 million ride himself (now revealed his huge Hollywood mansion was not his but rented etc.etc.)

There is no evidence what so ever Bilzerian is even an average let alone good poker player (go to Google to find how embarrassing he is) and in the interim all he does is issue an endless stream of right wing racist and misogynistic Tweets.

Obviously in a move to counter the Bilzerian misstep, GG have just turned to Daiva Byrne and FLIP (Fantastic Ladies in Poker organization) and brought her on as an ambassador. I hope this does genuinely rectify some of their image problems but if GG were really ballsy I think they would get a lot more traction and favor by canning Bilzerian, apologizing and admitting 'we made a mistake'.

Wow an open devil worshipping luciferian

Be like taking candy from a baby playing him . His Botox will block his view of the cards

Yay! Go DAN!

I hope he bets all those women and he loses to me easily =)

He plays poker at all? : PP

Good for Dan, I'm completely sure GG is not going to regret it.
