KKPoker offers different poker variants, including Texas Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha, and Short Deck, to players. It also hosts tournaments and cash games and offers a poker experience that would suit recreational and professional players. 

Poker companies have been signing up big names as brand ambassadors for a while now. Earlier this year, WPT Global signed Xue Hong-Wei as their brand ambassador. Being an ambassador for a brand is exciting, and it also brings a considerable amount of money to the said player. Along with this,  the ambassadorship opens up new venues of poker play for the individual, which again gives them an opportunity to win at the felts. For the company, an ambassadorship means that they get a ready-made fan base for the said individual. In some cases, even Hollywood celebrities either play a poker game or sign up as celebrities. Recently, former Avengers’ Hawk Eye Jeremy Renner hosted a poker showdown in Las Vegas.
