We might never know exactly how much Dan Bilzerian's made playing poker, but that doesn't matter – the brash personality is the new GGPoker brand ambassador.
Dan Bilzerian plays poker mostly on the GGPoker poker site, as on the 3rd of December 2020, he became GGPoker ambassador. He's battled players at $2 buy-in and all the way up to $200,000 buy-in tables. Playing on GGPoker is your best chance to play against the ‘King of Instagram' Dan Bilzerian right now. Dan Bilzerian is a poker player and his passion for gambling is one of the things he's best known for. He made many exuberant claims about his poker wins over the years, so it's a bit difficult to separate facts from fiction when it comes to his gambling track record. Total life earnings: $36,626. Latest cash: $36,626 on 03-Jul-2009. See Dan Bilzerian's full profile. Although Dan Bilzerian is a famous poker player, he hasn't appeared in a lot of public tournaments. His first major appearance was back in 2009 where he took part in the World Series of Poker Main Event, playing against professional poker players like Phil Ivey. Bilzerian finished 180th and collected a.
Bilzerian is known to some as the ‘King of Instagram', with 32 million followers and hundreds of thousands of ‘likes' on Instagram with snaps featuring exotic locals, gorgeous friends, exciting outings, guns, and general partying exploits. The Instagram star is also known for his poker prowess.
In 2008, Bilzerian placed 180th in the WSOP Main Event, and claimed to have won upwards of $50 million through his poker playing career.
Other GGPoker ambassadors include Dan Negreanu, Fedo Holz, and Felipe Ramos – but Bilzerian might be proving to be one of their most controversial, calling a critic of his new position with the online poker site a ‘hoe' after online discussion about his recent position started to circulate, with people weighing in on whether or not they think Bilzerian's an appropriate partner.
Some professionals are poking fun at the new ambassador—We're just going to leave this one here:
Dan Bilzerian becoming a GG poker ambassador is the equivalent of me becoming an ambassador for GQ

In addition to poker and being an influencer, Bilzerian is the owner of Ignite, a CBD and ‘vape' pen company. The company also sells merchandise from bathing suits, to sandals and vodka.
Ignite has faced their share of legal issues, with the company being accused of funding Bilzerian's lavish lifestyle, and the former president suing for wrongful termination after accusing Ignite of misappropriating funds.

Play Against Dan with a $100K Prize Pool
Bilzerian will kick off his new partnership with a tournament. To celebrate his 40th birthday, Bilzerian and GGPoker are giving fans the chance to play against him in a tournament, and play in a bid to win a party with Dan himself on December 7. (It's currently unclear if a private jet/yacht/women are part of this prize package).
The tournament will reportedly include thousands of players, prizes, and a $100,000 grand payout.
Dan Bilzerian has accused Dan Cates of cheating in a high-stakes private poker game played on a mobile app between wealthy businessmen.
On Saturday night, millionaire poker enthusiast Bill Perkins tweeted that he was cheated in a presumably high-stakes game that would 'make the Mike Postle scandal look like a church service.' He said that the incident involved players that 'you would call poker heroes.'
Perikins' initial tweet sparked curiosity and popcorn gifs from many in the poker community as theories about the situation began to spread.
Cheating scandal in poker going on that would make the Mike Postle scandal look like a church service. Really hard to wrap my head around. I'm very disappointed in many people. Some you would call poker heroes. 1 person/pro showed integrity others failed miserably #POKER
— Bill Perkins (Guy) (@bp22) May 24, 2020
At first, Perkins wouldn't give any more detail than that, only that he was cheated by a top tier poker pro. He spent several hours responding to players who wanted Perkins to reveal more if for no other reason than to save other poker players from being cheated by the same person.
What is this crap teaser? Can't understand why you would leave it at that. Anyone else that gets cheated from here out can thank you for this useless warning.

Why is gambling illegal in india. Why is gambling banned? Gambling is banned in India because of an outdated act that was passed by the British in 1867. This Act, called the Public Gambling Act, was applied to the regions now known as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.It is quite unbelievable to think that this same Act is still in force in India and prevents the government from collecting hundreds of crores of rupees in legal.

Eventually, he revealed that Jason Koon was the one player who showed integrity and alerted Perkins to the scandal, and that a separate player had confessed to cheating.
On Sunday, Perkins elaborated further, clarifying that the game was private and played on a mobile app. A top pro was playing under the screen name of a recreational player invited to the game in exchange for a piece of the profit. This form of cheating commonly referred to as 'ghosting.'
The majority of mobile poker apps on the market right now do not facilitate real money gaming. Any payments made to players must be made outside of the app based on play money balances.
Perkins agreed to keep the name private in exchange for more information about who else was involved. In a subsequent tweet, Perkins said that it was a 'top 7 player' that was cheating the game.
I have been permission to say that @JasonKoon was the pro who was tempted and acted in integrity. I've always like Jason and now I love him. So you can stop speculating about him. I'm still in investigative mode and not ready to discuss. As I said hard to wrap my head around. https://t.co/HoUiPDs7BR

Game: Private
App: download for friends
Cheating: pros playing for fish account (so far)
Participants #: unknown now
Investigation: Ongoing
Evidence: confession/physical https://t.co/HoUiPDs7BR
— Bill Perkins (Guy) (@bp22) May 24, 2020
Top 7 pro in the world for sure and now completely obliterated my trust AFTER the confession. I'll never play a game or tournament with him until this is rectified.

On Monday afternoon, Dan Bilzerian tied a couple of names to the story when he tweeted that Sina Taleb allowed Cates to play on Taleb's account against Bilzerian, Perkins, and others. The tweet included a picture of Saleb and blurred out contact information. Taleb is an unknown to the poker world without a documented tournament cash.

Cates, however, is touted as one of the best players on the planet and regularly plays in the biggest cash games in the world. He also has just shy of $7.4 million in tournament earnings.
He responded to Bilzerian's accusation by saying it was 'misleading' and that he has never played a hand of poker with Bilzerian, but couldn't dive into the issue any further because of legal reasons.
I can't discuss this right now for legal reasons but this is misleading, I haven't played a hand of poker with @DanBilzerian ever lol. More to come when appropriate but there was rampant ghosted on the site that people have admitted to.
— Daniel Cates (@junglemandan) May 25, 2020
Perkins showed up in the responses to Bilzerian's tweet and said that he had high-level attorneys advising him on his next step.
He also walked back the comparison to the Postle situation, noting that he only did so because the amount of money at stake in his game was much more than what Postle is accused of cheating players out of.
