Footballer Decides To Team Up With PokerStars

PokerStars has made a number of interesting signings over the past year including former Seinfeld star Jason Alexander, rapper Nelly, and baseball player Orel Hershiser. And you can add one more interesting signing to PokerStars’ growing list of online poker players since they recently signed Argentina football player Juan Sebastian Verón to their roster.

Verón has been a football star since 1994, and he has played a big part in Argentina’s run through the World Cup so far. Away from the field, the two-time South American Player of the Year will also be pivotal to PokerStars’ campaign to promote internet poker in Latin America. PokerStars has already held a few casino poker events in Latin America which have been organised through the popular LAPT organisation.

The world’s biggest online poker room was elated to add Verón as managing director of PokerStars Latin America Sarne Lightman said, “It is truly a pleasure for us to have Verón as an Ambassador for PokerStars.net. His sporting and competitive spirit embodies the values of our brand and we feel very proud that this great soccer player decided to represent the number one poker site in the world.”

Verón’s signing comes at a time when poker games are really starting to take off in Argentina. The LAPT is a big reason for the rise in popularity – especially since PokerStars is going to be holding the LAPT Grand Final in Argentina. Now that one of the world’s best football players is promoting holdem poker, this will inevitably make poker even more popular in Argentina.

With more and more Argentineans now getting involved with online poker, they will be able to take full advantage of the excellent VIP deals that are on offer through pokerStars. Amazingly, some of the best PokerStars players can actually achieve as much as an 80% return! Of course, this is in addition to other great online poker deals that PokerStars is already offering its members. Other games they could play include Everest Poker, or perhaps Betfair Poker
