• GGPoker has launched the ‘Face Off’,  fronted by comedy legend Johnny Vegas, celebrating the drama, tension, and humour of live poker with a bold, cinematic creative approach.

• The campaign repositions GGPoker.co.uk as the home of ‘real players and real emotion’, combining offbeat British comedy with high-impact visuals to shake up a stagnant gambling marketing space.

• Marking a renewed commitment to the UK market, ‘Face Off’ spans digital, broadcast, and live-event activations, signalling GGPoker’s ambition to lead the next era of poker entertainment and brand storytelling.

GGPoker, the World’s Biggest Poker Room, has reignited the UK poker scene with the launch of ‘Face Off’, a new project which celebrates the drama and pure entertainment of live poker, fronted by comedy legend Johnny Vegas.

The campaign marks GGPoker’s most ambitious UK marketing push to date, shining a light on the human side of the game: the bluffing, bravado, rivalry and emotion that make poker far more than just a hand of cards.

Brimming with Vegas’s trademark humour and offbeat British charm, ‘Face Off’ delivers a cinematic look and feel rarely seen in poker advertising. The creative mixes character-driven comedy with moments of high-stakes intensity, capturing the personality and unpredictability that define real poker.

Developed with leading creative partners, the campaign sets out to reimagine how poker is portrayed in the UK, positioning GGPoker.co.uk as the home of genuine competition and real players. It’s designed to connect with everyone from casual fans to seasoned grinders, and to show poker as something social, human and alive with character.

The rollout will span digital, broadcast and live activations across the UK and Ireland, with exclusive content, social challenges and player-focused experiences bringing the ‘Face Off’ world to life:

• Digital: Search, SEO, META, Snap, X, PGM, YouTube

• Audio: talkSPORT, ACAST, Sports Social

• TV: BVOD, Cinema, CTV

• Outdoor: High-impact displays and standard BAU executions

• PR: Stunts and live events with celebrity involvement, WSOP Poker Event coverage, and story seeding to highlight real player experiences

• CRM: Email, SMS, and retargeting campaigns, all optimised to enhance the player experience.

Angela Martin, Head of Marketing UK & Ireland at GGPoker said: “With ‘Face Off,’ we wanted to remind people why they fell in love with poker in the first place. It’s not just about the cards; it’s about the tension, and the moments of genius (or madness) that make it such a uniquely human game.

“Johnny Vegas is not just a legend of comedy, his name says it all. It brings a touch of Vegas flair to the UK poker scene, while keeping it witty and completely human. ‘Face Off’ is our way of saying that poker should be fun, social, and full of personality again. This is GGPoker doubling down on the UK and on the players who make the game what it is.”
