CoinPoker added another recognizable name to its ambassador roaster last night, as Nik Airball become the latest high-stakes regular to join the crypto poker team. Airball, who you’ve probably heard of for his swing-heavy televised sessions, announced the news himself on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a promo for players sign up using his name:
Happy to announce I’m officially a @CoinPoker_OFF ambassador!
Anyone who signs up & deposits using code AIRBALL will be entered for a chance to play me heads up for 10k and a 150% deposit bonus up to $2,000
CoinPoker followed it up by retweeting with a teaser: Who wants to play against Airball?
This the second high-profile ambassador CoinPoker’s picked up in recent months. Benjamin Rolle, better known as “bencb,” signed with the brand earlier this year.
Who Is Nik Airball?
If you’ve watched Hustler Casino Live over the last two years, chances are you’ve encountered Nikhil “Nik Airball” Arcot. The former investment banker from West Linn, Oregon, first popped up on the high-stakes livestream in 2022 and quickly became one of its most talked-about players.
Airball graduated from NYU Shanghai and worked in M&A consulting before trading in his balance sheets for bluffs. His appearances on Hustler Casino Live cemented his role as one of its central figures. He’s also played on High Stakes Poker and Poker at the Lodge, the latter being based at The Lodge Card Club in Texas, which he co-owns.

While there were debates about his skills early on, citing a chaotic playing style and substantial losses, Airball’s reversed that narrative. According to HighRollPoker, he entered 2024 down over $800K on livestreams but has since climbed to over $3.1 million in profit across 1,000+ hours of televised high-stakes poker. That ranks him third all-time in public cash game profits behind only Andrew Robl and Tom Dwan.
As for right now, we’ll have to wait and see what AirballxCoinPoker have in store for us.
In the meantime, you should know that CoinPoker’s official subreddit community recently hosted an AMA with another ambassador, Austrian high roller Mario Mosböck. You can check out that one here.
