POKER LEGEND CHRIS MONEYMAKER JOINS E-WALLET COMPANY TO OFFER THE MUCHBETTER MONEYMAKER POKER EXPERIENCE

Leading e-wallet digital payments provider MuchBetter has partnered with poker legend Chris Moneymaker to offer its customers the chance to recreate the heroic journey from an unknown casual poker player to World Champion.
MuchBetter customers who register then upload US$ 86 in their e-wallet and deposit on their favourite online poker site will be entered into the MuchBetter Moneymaker Poker Experience draw and receive one chance to win one of three poker tournament experiences which includes a US$ 10,000 buy-in to a poker tournament and more. Every subsequent $1 they upload and deposit during September gives them another entry, so the more customers load, the more chances to win.
Eighteen years ago, US$ 86 turned Chris Moneymaker into a poker champion. Now, MuchBetter customers have their own chance to follow Moneymaker’s journey and they will have the legend himself to guide them along the path he trod in 2003.
As well as the poker buy-in, the winners will receive private online poker lessons from the legend himself to refine and hone their poker skills and strategy, and a whole lot of high-tech equipment to make their home poker set up much more enjoyable and slick.
“When I deposited that original US$ 86, I had no idea where it would lead,” said Chris Moneymaker. “I’m really looking forward to meeting our winners and working with them to write the next chapter of their poker story and excited to see where it takes them.”
Chris Moneymaker’s dream run to the WSOP 2003 Main Event title captured the imagination of recreational poker players everywhere when he won US$ 2.5 million after securing his seat via an US$ 86 online qualifying tournament.
The e-wallet app is known for its MegaDraw, the quarterly rewards draw which this year will give away 12,500 EUR each to four winners. The Moneymaker Poker Experience will award 50 runners up with an additional 1000 MegaDraw points to their MuchBetter accounts that will boost their chances of winning one of the cash prizes.
“Just like Chris, MuchBetter has a long history in online poker, and we are excited to partner with him to make poker dreams come true for our customers,” said Israel Rosenthal, CEO MuchBetter.
Moneymaker joins German poker pro and Twitch star Felix Schneiders in representing the award-winning e-wallet.
The MuchBetter Moneymaker Experience runs from September 1 to 30.

ThrillTech secures regulatory approvals to launch jackpots in Latam

Peru and Brazil to provide launchpad for Latam expansion as ThrillTech strengthens presence in emerging regulated markets
ThrillTech, the B2B jackpot specialist, has taken a significant step forward in its international growth strategy after securing a B2B licence in Peru and regulatory certification in Brazil.
The approvals clear the path for ThrillTech to launch its proprietary player-funded jackpot solutions in Latin America for the first time, bringing its flagship ThrillPots product to one of the world’s most exciting and emerging regions for iGaming.
Latin America has become a focal point for operators in recent years, with Brazil’s market liberalisation and Peru’s structured regulatory framework, as set out by the country’s ministry of foreign trade and tourism (MINCETUR), providing fertile ground for innovative engagement tools.
By working tirelessly to secure entry into both countries, ThrillTech is positioning itself to support operators with compliant, performance-driven jackpot mechanics that can drive revenue and enhance retention.
Peter Mares, CTO and co-founder of ThrillTech, said: “Expanding into Latin America is a milestone moment for us. The region is bursting with opportunity, but it also demands solutions that are flexible, transparent, and built to scale. With a licence in Peru and certification in Brazil, we are ready to deliver the same measurable revenue impact to operators in Latam that we’ve already proven in Europe.
ThrillTech’s products are designed to provide operators with new revenue streams through side-bet jackpots, while also offering real-time engagement mechanics via cash-only rewards.
Already integrated with multiple tier-one operators in Europe, ThrillTech is now primed to replicate that success in Latam by delivering regulator-approved solutions to local operators.
