BetMGM announces the addition of WSOP champion Mike Lavin as its latest poker pro ambassador. He will actively promote the brand through live events, tournaments, and various social media platforms.

“The reason I chose BetMGM is straightforward—they genuinely listen to the players. Even before I became associated with them, I observed how the poker team engaged with the community more effectively than other platforms. I’m thrilled to represent a brand I trust and that prioritizes its players,” expressed Lavin.

In his ambassadorial role, Lavin will participate in live tournament settings, create content for social media, and engage in poker initiatives spearheaded by the brand.

Lavin, who lives in Yardley, Pennsylvania, reignited his poker journey during the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting from casual play to competitive tournament success. He boasts a record of 17 online rings, three World Series of Poker bracelets, and four leaderboard titles from BetMGM. Notably, during the 2025 World Series of Poker, he secured victory in the $1,500 No-Limit Texas Hold’em Shootout, earning $267,000 along with a prestigious gold bracelet.

“Mike embodies the type of player we want as a representative for BetMGM,” remarked David Mileaf, the Director of Poker at BetMGM. “He has cultivated his skills on our platform and excelled on our leaderboards. His journey showcases what can be achieved through dedication in online poker.“
