Does he even play poker?

Although his signing is a very clear marking of what perhaps is the next "big" wave for poker perhaps. We had the Moneymaker effect and the early to mid 2000s nosebleed games then post BF things died down and the average rec player didn't really play anymore...but now there's a lot of shift to bringing the gambler rec players back which is great and as more states in the US legalize online poker again, I think Bolt being on board will help fuel a smaller but still juicy return of the recreational player who thinks they can be the next Moneymaker.

He is one of the most admired athletes in the world. Your global fan base at the social networks will help the company grow faster (literally, as he himself is at the racetracks) and consequently, spread poker around the world.

Before Bolt's arrival, PokerStars came to join forces with athletes of the caliber of Rafael Nadal, Neymar Jr, Ronaldo Phenomenon, Boris Becker and Cristiano Ronaldo. Further enhances poker.

Yes, now with Kevin Hart and Usain Bolt the sport should continue growing
Kevin Hart's a good comedian, and Usain Bolt It's very charismatic, everyone likes him, poker has much to win with them

I don't think it's a good idea for PokerStars to use Usain Bolt. I would suggest not doing this in the marketing campaign. not a good move.

He is a legend Olimpica has several fans and knows how to deal with people, why not a good idea in his point of view?

I certainly do not care who will. Why are some sportsman and not an astronaut or an actor.

A good move for poker stars would be to stop signing sports stars and put more money into new and existing players accounts with promotions and bonuses.

So this is where the increased rakes and decreased rakebacks go to. I'm not amused.

I find that really good for the poker environment. Celebrities advertising poker is great. An example is Cristiano Ronaldo. The ads with him increased the number of poker players by a lot.

I think it's a good signing. Usain Bolt from what I've seen of him is a likable personality and is a great face for a company to have. Especially when almost everyone knows who he is. It's good for the poker environment as more people will be drawn to play poker.

Take the money and run, that's what I say.

He is a celebrity and can attract new fishes to Pokerstars.

If PokerStars need more "fishes", then I'm their man. I'm one of the best fishermen (surfcasting - i.e. real fishing) in the world. And my fee would only be half Usain Bolt's.



P.S. I think Usain Bolt is a great athlete and agree with the previous two posters.
