GGPoker’s Felipe “Mojave” Ramos joins MuchBetter as brand ambassador
Gaming ewallet, MuchBetter, today announced Felipe “Mojave” Ramos, as MuchBetter’s latest brand ambassador. Representing GGPoker, home to many of the world’s top poker professionals, including Daniel Negreanu and Bryn Kenney. Felipe is also a poker coach, television host and entrepreneur, and has a large social media following for his “Poker Lifestyle” brand. Felipe will work with MuchBetter to reach the global online poker community – especially fans in his native Brazil where he is one of the most influential people in poker.
The partnership starts this week ahead of the launch of Felipe’s new poker training courses, as well as his regular #mojaCOOP poker tournament series. Felipe chose MuchBetter as his payment brand since he needed a global partner to help coordinate payments during these events, and had seen MuchBetter’s success with other pros/streamers such as Lex and Felix.
Brazil is an important growing market for MuchBetter, and the company expects that Felipe’s endorsement will help them demonstrate the value of its services to new customers in the region – namely the ease of use and security of its payment services.
“Poker is one of the most popular games in Brazil, surpassed only be the nation’s love of football,” said MuchBetter co-founder and CEO, Israel Rosenthal. “Brazil is a hugely important market for us. With its large population, fast growing digital commerce sector and love of poker, this kind of partnership is a great fit. We’ve made significant progress in the Brazilian market already, but I expect Felipe’s endorsement to push us even further. In our events with Felipe, we want to demonstrate the MuchBetter is the most technologically advanced product on the market, letting players make deposits with just their smartphone and fingerprint, in a matter of seconds.”
“I wanted to find a payments partner that was an emerging force on the poker scene, which would give my fans the best user experience,” said Felipe “Mojave” Ramos. “The MuchBetter team really understands poker and what players want, and I’ve seen this in their work with other poker pros. I have big things planned for growing the Poker Lifestyle brand, and MuchBetter will play an important part in all future events.”

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.
The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.
The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.
“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.
“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”
Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
