2026 Online Poker Ambassadors

PokerStars Team Pros in 2026

Arguably the biggest changes in terms of departures have come from PokerStars, which has been the leader in terms of online poker presence. Several prominent players have left over the past few months, and while the team may not be what it was, PokerStars still has a formidable presence both on the online scene, as well as at their branded live events and series.

PokerStars Team List

A quick look at this list and you’ll quickly realize that PokerStars began transitioning its focus from an online poker room to a more complete online and live poker company.  

The company currently runs 5 tours that hold events around the world:

• European Poker Tour (EPT): 4 to 6 stops per year
• Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP): up to 6 stops per year
• North American Poker Tour (NAPT): Las Vegas in November
• Asia Pacific Poker Tour: 2 to 3 stops per year
• PokerStars Open Tour: up to 6 stops per year

In addition, they have their name on four of the most popular poker rooms at the moment:

• PokerStars Live Campione
• PokerStars Live London
• PokerStars Live Manila
• PokerStars Live Namur

Their online presence is still here, but without some of the bigger names streaming for them anymore.

partypoker Team in 2026

At one time, partypoker had a substantial list of poker pros, including Day Kotoviezy, Isaac Haxton, Patrick Leonard, and Monika Zukowicz backing their brand. However, most of these pros have ditched the the orange diamond and no longer align with the brand. 

The poker room’s online presence is still there, thanks to the Staples brothers, who are the only remaining members of their online team as of now. Both are still active on social media and on their Twitch channels, but are the last of partypoker’s recognized pros in any capacity.

Lacking a live tour, and with no alignment with Yong and his Dusk Till Dawn poker room in England, partypoker is a shell of its former self, catering solely to the amateur and semi-pro low to mid-stakes players. While still a player in the online game, they’ve almost completely shifted away from sponsoring players and rely solely on their ability to retain players.

America’s Card Room Team in 2026

Without a doubt, one of the bigger players on the market these days in is America’s Card Room. Ten years ago, their pro team was non-existent, but today, they have one of the largest rosters of online pros, ambassadors and streamers who promote the brand anywhere and everywhere.

America’s Card Room Team Pro

These 11 ACR pros can be found at any and every of the major series around the world, regardless of who’s putting on the show. Some of the most recognizable names in the game don the star. While America’s Cardroom itself isn’t focus on putting up live poker events the way it used to me, their pros definitely are.

ACR Ambassadors

In addition to their Team Pros, America’s Cardroom also has ties to Rene and Casey Nezhoda of A&E’s Storage Wars series. They both regularly represent ACR at several live events but since neither are professional poker players, they’re not full fledged members of Team Pro.

Team Online

America’s Cardroom also has not one but two dedicated online teams that are determined to dominate the streaming world. These six players that have official representation with ACR as members of their Online Pro team are:

Team ACR Stormers

Finally we have the Stormers, led by “IT5PAYDAY” Adam Neal. This is a group of over 40 poker streamers that have applied to be part of the team, giving them access to ACR promotional material, and in exchange, they stream playing poker on America’s Cardroom. 

The beauty of this group is that the majority of these streamers are not professionals. Many of them are part time amateur players that dedicate themselves to promoting their poker stream and ACR in the process. Anyone can apply to be a Stormer, and they add new talent to the roster when qualified poker streamers come calling. The majority of their Team Online started out as Stormers.

All in all, America’s Cardroom continues to be aggressive when it comes to promoting their brand through online and live poker.

GGPoker Team in 2026

The growth of GGPoker over the last several years has been nothing short of impressive, as they currently have 24 online and live poker pros on their roster, including some of the biggest names in the game. When you have current world champions, the world definitely takes notice.

You’ll recognize some of the most successful live poker players in the world on this list including the reigning WSOP World Champion and latest inductee to the Poker Hall of Fame, Michael Mizrachi. GGPoker employs a number of high profile online poker players as well, such as Andrijana Gligoric, better known as “Lija” and Canadian Kevin Martin.

GGPoker’s alignment with the WSOP brand cumulated in their purchase of the WSOP in late 2024, giving it control of the iconic WSOP in Las Vegas every summer, all of the circuit events around the world, WSOP Paradise every December in The Bahamas, and WSOP Europe every April. On top of that, alignment with the Triton High Roller Series expands GG Poker’s reach even more, making it one of the most recognizable poker brands in the world today.

WPT Global Team in 2026

The newest kid on the block, WPT Global is quickly working to close the gap between the biggest online and live poker names in the world by racking up an impressive line-up of ambassadors, some specializing in live poker, while others are focused on the online game.

The biggest name that jumps out is Phil Ivey. Recent addition Fintan Hand also gave the brand a significant boost to its online presence. Coupled with the WPT and WPT Prime live events, with opportunities for satelliting into these events online, WPT Global is making headway against their competitors.

888poker Team in 2026

The final online poker room that still has a significant line-up of streamers and ambassadors is 888poker.  While many of the bigger names who donned the 888 logo at one time have left, there is a renewed push from the brand to regain their footing in the streaming world, as well as their presence at live events across the world.

So, their team is split into two part:

888Poker Ambassadors

888Poker Stream Team

Focusing on growing the game, the team of online poker players covers all aspects of the poker game, catering to every player watching online. And their ambassadors continue to promote the brand at major events and festivals around the world, including 888Poker braided events that are returning for 2026.

While 888poker doesn’t have household names that some of the other rooms do, this small but mighty bunch have what it takes to give poker players something to talk about today.

The team pro line-ups looks vastly different than it did even a few months ago, but as the poker landscape shifts away from online and more towards the live game, it’s clear that the online poker presence is still very much a focus for them. The key over the next period will be navigating the complex world of online poker content, declining viewership, censorship, and a larger focus on the live game. Online pros are going to have to get creative when it comes to maintaining their presence online, and continuing to promote the brands that sponsor them.
