Announced on November 3, 2026, from Dublin, Ireland, the partnership is designed to leverage Veldhuis’ massive community following to accelerate streaming-led player acquisition and engagement.
Veldhuis joins an elite lineup of poker legends already representing the brand, including Daniel Negreanu and Michael Mizrachi. Under the terms of the agreement, Veldhuis will stream regularly on the GGPoker platform while acting as a dedicated advocate for online poker creators. He will spotlight the site’s specialized Streamer Mode and the unique benefits available to program participants, while also hosting custom tournaments and exclusive promotions tailored specifically for his community.
Shared vision for poker innovation
Expressing enthusiasm for his new role, Lex Veldhuis shared his perspective on the partnership:
“I’m really excited to officially join GGTeam as Global Streaming Ambassador and begin this new chapter. GGPoker is the biggest poker site in the world, and it really feels like the natural fit for me and my community. Over the last year I’ve played exclusively on GG and have been genuinely impressed by the software and the size of the tournaments. It has completely invigorated my enjoyment of poker and grinding again. Every time I’ve spoken with the GGPoker team I’ve been intrigued by their vision and their drive to innovate. It made me realize I wanted to be part of this process. I’m looking forward to diving even deeper into what the site has to offer and working on some awesome new projects together. I can’t wait to go on this new journey and I’m excited for what the future holds.”
GGPoker ambassador Daniel Negreanu welcomed his new colleague with high praise:

His passion for the game, his unmatched work ethic, and his ability to connect with fans are exactly what we look for in a GGTeam ambassador. He is a fantastic addition to the GGPoker family, and I couldn’t be happier to have him on board.”
Strengthening creator-led marketing in iGaming
The appointment underscores the growing importance of creator-led marketing within the online poker ecosystem. By partnering with tier-one streaming personalities who command dedicated global audiences, operators can foster authentic connections with players while demonstrating software reliability and tournament scale in real time. With Veldhuis anchoring its global streaming initiatives, GGPoker continues to reinforce its market leadership and community-centric growth strategy throughout 2026.
