Dan Bilzerian says he has broken up with GGPoker for good but has he?

[Shells]

Dan Bilzerian had made an announcement on the No Jumper Podcast this past Tuesday, stating he has parted ways with GGPoker. However, we have not seen a confirmation from GGPoker as of yet.

What do you think? Is Dan in or out?

Is Dan Bilzerian Finally Out at GGPoker?

 

[DS3]

I am sticking with what I thought at the time.

Bilzerian was mistake and a complete waste of time so GG ultimately decided to wipe their hands and the site completely clean of him. Just like they did with Bryn Kenney after things came to a head with him. On both occasions people noticed their image/emoji removal and then pressed for answers.

It took a few weeks (if I remember correctly) before GG even commented. I said at the time I did not trust the GG claim that the relationship has not ended. Could have been out of pique (so many applauding the decision) or for legal reasons but no Bilzerian image or mention has ever re-appeared on GG's site. Just another sordid footnote at this point.

I honestly could not possibly care less about Dan Bilzerian, he sounds like one of the biggest douchebags on this planet. LOL
But for those interested, here's the poker news summary of the No Jumper podcast regarding GGPoker, it was their lead story earlier:

Out at GGPoker, Dan Bilzerian Calls Poker Players "F*****g Nerds"

Bilzerian's richer than all of you; just ask him, he'll tell you.

Two years later and Bilzerian's no longer with the global poker giant. He explained on the No Jumper Podcast why he's out at GGPoker and rarely promoted the poker site as an ambassador.

"I get offered so much money to do f*****g promos," Bilzerian said. "I just don't have the heart to do it."

He then went on to say that he's turned down numerous seven-figure offers to promote NFT's and other products such as poker sites, but, in the end, "I just won't sellout."

The social media star said that GGPoker didn't hold up their end of the contract. He used an example of a freeroll tournament he went to Turks and Caicos to promote but the poker site didn't listen to his requests on how to promote the event, he claims.

"Initially, I tried to do it, you know what I mean, I did some posts and drove them a f******d of traffic," Bilzerian claims. "But then they were supposed to give me a percentage of the people that I recruited, and you know, we had like 100,000 that we downloaded, there's like a lot of people. So, the numbers they were saying they were going to pay me was millions a month."

Bilzerian then claimed that GGPoker wasn't paying him the affiliate revenue he expected.

"So, we just agreed to kind of like end it, you know," Bilzerian said of the GGPoker relationship.

Yeah, pokernews is great. I did include the CardsChat news link, to this very topic, in the first post which also included a video.

Offtopic (a bit) - with CardsChat's new format, were you able to see the link to the CardsChat news? I know the link isn't bolded or in larger print - I'm just curious so I know for next time.

Thanks, Ron.

Yes, Shells, the link is visible if indistinct.

I believe we all like the new site but there are some improvements which could be made in a graphic sense - there are some aspects that feel a little 'washed out' in my view. But, I think we all need to settle in, make notes and then at a future date have a constructive discussion on how things might be finessed. Its almost there, so I think tweeks would be small but significant in terms of user experience gains.

Just by the by, no official update from GG Poker as far as I am aware, regarding Bilzerian, so I take it as the relationship was in fact over when they removed all images and promotions with him from the site in the first place!

Is he also a cheater ? So many players been banned by GG poker recently.

 

[budweiser74777]

it all depends on the offers and the amount of money!!!

 

[fernandofcp]

I think if he made the announcement, he's really out of GGPoker. The word must have credibility. GGpoker should announce at a strategic time that suits them.

 

[finaltable1]

Never thought that he's a good poker player, well he's good at making impressive videos.

No, I don't think he is a cheat in the sense the other guys outed as cheats recently are.

There is a debate however as to whether he is a fraud.

Bilzerian suddenly emerged claiming he had made some $50 million dollars playing poker in private games in LA. There is some history of him playing online years ago...but $50 million from private games? Most should know his father scammed people for tens of millions in a fraudulent investment scheme and the money was never recovered. This is thought to be the original source of Bilzerian's 'wealth'.

That said his one time best friend Alex Keating has made millions over the last few years hosting a private game in LA (he appears on High Stakes games on PokerGo etc) but at least Keating has some real poker hutzpah and skill. The problem with Bilzerian (and his poker myth) is he he appears to be a really poor poker player, clueless much of the time. Put it like this, if Bilzerian was as good as he fronts, then why is he never playing in high rollers or the Triton Series?

I love that he went from 'I won't sell out' to 'they didn't pay me what I wanted' as his excuse. He is right though, poker players are F'ing nerds .

It had already been hinted that the collaboration was likely over, as a graphic featuring his image was removed from the Battle Royale format back in March.

good riddance!
