CoinPoker Scores Another Knockout: MMA Star Paulo Costa Joins the Team!

Must read

CoinPoker, the leading cryptocurrency-powered poker platform, is in the news again! Not content with just conquering the online poker world, they’re now taking the fight to the Brazilian market by signing MMA superstar Paulo Costa as their latest brand ambassador.

Costa, currently ranked #11 in the UFC and one of the most recognizable faces in mixed martial arts, brings his star power to CoinPoker. Costa joins an all-star roster of ambassadors, including Brazilian poker pro Olivio ‘Bigfat’ Gontijo, signed in September, as CoinPoker continues expanding its presence in the rapidly growing Brazilian poker scene.

This strategic move follows CoinPoker’s recent partnership with Raise Your Edge, a top poker training platform, and the onboarding of its founder, renowned poker player and coach Benjamin “Bencb” Rolle, as a brand ambassador. It’s clear that CoinPoker is playing to win, and they’re not afraid to pull out all the stops!

 

Why Brazil? Why Costa?

Brazil is a hotbed of poker talent and passion, and CoinPoker is smart to tap into this burgeoning market. By partnering with Costa, a household name in Brazil with a massive following, they’re making a bold statement and connecting with the local poker community in a big way. The goal is to solidify CoinPoker’s presence in the Brazilian online poker scene and offer players a unique experience that combines their love for poker with the cutting-edge innovation of cryptocurrency.

This isn’t the first time CoinPoker has teamed up with a sports legend. They’ve previously partnered with boxing champion Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch and former Austrian footballer Mario Mosböck, proving that they know how to align themselves with the best of the best.

With Costa now in their corner, CoinPoker is ready to revolutionize how poker and crypto collide in Brazil, making for a knockout combination!

 

From the Octagon to the Poker Table

Paulo Costa, known for his explosive fighting style in the UFC, is bringing that same intensity to the poker tables. As a CoinPoker ambassador, he’s not just lending his name to the brand; he’ll actively engage with fans and share his passion for the game.

Costa’s poker journey began in the fight camps of Las Vegas, where he was drawn to the high-stakes action and the global community surrounding the game. He started by learning the ropes on apps and watching YouTube videos, eventually graduating to real-money games in Vegas and his hometown. For Costa, poker is more than just a game; it’s a source of adrenaline and excitement that rivals the thrill of the octagon.
