Ronaldo Reunites With PokerStars Again!

Football icon Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima aka Ronaldo has joined PokerStars after nine years of first associating with the poker brand in 2013. As per news reports, the football legend is now the brand ambassador for PokerStars. 

Previously, the online poker giant had included Ronaldo as a member of its SportStar team which also included stars like Boris Becker and Rafael Nadal. For some reason PokerStars did not announce this news on their official social media handles and only chose to comment on Ronaldo’s Instagram post about rejoining PokerStars.

The Brazilian football star wrote, “I am very excited to announce that I am once again part of the @pokerstars family. ♥️ I have always been a great fan of the game and I am eager to work on new projects in the future.”
