Compete against former world champ poker legend Chris Moneymaker heads-up
As the countdown to the Main Event of Vegas’ hottest summer series begins, ACR Poker is offering poker players the chance to win a “money-can’t-buy” Moneymaker Vegas Experience this July, including a two-week stay in Vegas.
Starting this weekend, ACR Poker players can qualify for a chance to win a heads-up battle with poker legend Chris Moneymaker. After battling each other through various qualifying rounds, two players will each compete against Moneymaker for the opportunity to win a 14-night luxury stay in Las Vegas, $10K buy-in to a Main Event, and an exclusive itinerary of activities around Las Vegas, immersing them in a unique VIP atmosphere.
ACR Poker players can join one of four $8.60 buy-in multi-table tournaments (MTTs) on June 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th (all at 3pm ET) for a chance to win. The top two winners from each MTT will advance to a final 8-handed Sit & Go on Monday, June 17th at 3pm ET. The top two finishers in the Sit & Go final will then face ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker in online heads-up battles on Tuesday, June 18th, playing a best of three.
For poker players looking to witness the action, the epic heads-up matches will be live-streamed on ACR’s Twitch channel. Whoever beats Moneymaker will win an incredible prize package, which includes a round-trip flight, luxury accommodation from July 1st-14th, $10,000 entry to the prestigious Vegas Main Event, entry to an exclusive ACR Pros Meet-up event, plus a unique opportunity to spend time with Moneymaker in Las Vegas.
“This is a great opportunity for poker players to step up their game and experience the thrill of playing in Las Vegas,” said Moneymaker. “I’m looking forward to welcoming the winners to Sin City and giving them a glimpse into life as an ACR Pro. I’m also excited to see who has what it takes to beat me in a heads-up battle!”
The Moneymaker Vegas Experience promotion gives poker players the chance to learn from one of the best in the game. Moneymaker has been on a recent hot streak, finishing in 6th place in ACR Poker’s $12.5 Million GTD Venom tourney, bagging $382,007. He followed that up with a magical win at Event #1 (GG Million$ Live) at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Montenegro, earning $903,000.
Moneymaker also noted that ACR Poker is offering players further opportunities to secure their spot in the Vegas Main Event through a variety of satellite tournaments running throughout June.

BETBY, the leading B2B sportsbook supplier, has announced a new strategic partnership with Vibra Gaming. The agreement will see BETBY deliver its full sportsbook solution to Vibra Gaming, further accelerating its expansion across the LatAm region.
Through this collaboration, Vibra Gaming will integrate BETBY’s complete sportsbook offering covering more than 500,000 monthly events, including its advanced AI-powered tools, AI Labs, and proprietary esports feed, Betby.Games. Delivered via a single, seamless API integration, the solution enables Vibra Gaming to incorporate a fully scalable sportsbook directly into its platform, allowing its operator partners to roll out sports betting efficiently while reducing technical complexity and accelerating time-to-market.
The integration addresses key challenges associated with launching a sportsbook, particularly the technical demands and resource requirements involved. By leveraging BETBY’s solution, Vibra Gaming can extend its platform capabilities without adding significant development overhead, while enabling its partners to introduce sports betting as part of a broader, multi-vertical offering.
A key component of the agreement is the inclusion of Betby.Games, BETBY’s award-winning esports feed, which aligns closely with Vibra Gaming’s localized approach. The portfolio features hyper-localized, industry-first titles such as eVaquejada and eFootVolley, designed specifically to resonate with Latin American audiences, further strengthening engagement across the region.
The partnership comes as BETBY continues to reinforce its position in Latin America, a strategic market where the provider has been actively investing and expanding its footprint. With operational licenses in Brazil and Peru, and a growing network of regional partners, this collaboration marks an important step in BETBY’s long-term growth strategy across LatAm.
Stefanos Karakidis, Business Development Director at BETBY, said: “This partnership is a natural fit for both sides. Vibra Gaming has built a platform that reflects the expectations of Latin American operators, and that creates the ideal environment for our sportsbook to deliver value. Besides that, what makes this collaboration particularly strong is how seamlessly our solution integrates into Vibra’s ecosystem, enabling their casino operator partners to expand into sports betting in a fast, efficient, and scalable way.”
Werter Luna, CEO at Vibra Gaming, said: “At Vibra Gaming, our priority is to provide our partners with flexible, locally relevant solutions that help them grow. Integrating BETBY’s sportsbook allows us to expand our platform with a best-in-class sports betting offering that matches our standards in terms of performance and adaptability. We’re particularly excited about the potential of combining their technology and esports content with our localized approach to further enhance the player experience across Latin America.”

Animesh Agarwal, Co-founder and CEO, S8UL Esports, said: “The conversation around Indian esports has changed significantly over the last few years. Today, it is no longer just about potential, it is about building globally competitive teams, creating sustainable fan ecosystems, and earning the confidence of major brands. Our partnership with Campa Energy represents that larger shift. As S8UL prepares for the Esports World Cup 2026 across multiple titles, having a homegrown brand support this journey reinforces the growing cultural relevance of esports in India. We see this as a shared effort to push Indian talent and Indian esports further onto the global stage.”
Campa Energy has been crafted for a generation that constantly challenges boundaries and aspires to achieve more with every step. Campa Energy will power S8UL’s athletes across multiple titles as they prepare to represent India on the global stage. The brand also has a growing presence within the esports ecosystem, having previously associated with JioBLAST All Stars vs India, a creator-led competitive entertainment format centered around Battlegrounds Mobile India, which featured popular S8UL creators including Payal Dhare, Raj Varma and Parv Singh.
As per the recent FICCI-EY Media and Entertainment Report 2026, the number of brands investing in Indian esports is expected to grow to 80 in 2026, with this association further highlighting the rising mainstream interest in the country’s rapidly evolving gaming and esports ecosystem.
