CoinPoker continues expanding its ambassador program by signing Abby Merk, Lasse Jagd Lauritsen and Alejandro Lococo.

CoinPoker has expanded its ambassador line-up once again in 2026, announcing the addition of three new sponsored professionals to its team. The latest signings include American poker pro Abby Merk, Danish streamer Lasse Jagd Lauritsen, and Argentinian player Alejandro Andres Lococo.

The announcement follows an earlier ambassador recruitment drive in February 2026 when the platform added four new names to its roster.

That group included French player Yohan “YoHViral” Gilbert, Argentinian pro Mariano Grandoli, and American players Brantzen Wong and Alex Duvall.

With the March additions, CoinPoker continues building a diverse promotional team made up of tournament players, streamers, and content creators.

Abby Merk Joins as Rising Poker Personality

American poker professional Abby Merk has quickly become one of the most visible personalities in the poker world. Her presence extends beyond the tables through regular activity across social media platforms such as X, YouTube, and Instagram.

Merk gained wider recognition during 2025 through appearances in cash game broadcasts and poker media content, where she played alongside established figures including Phil Hellmuth. Her mix of live poker action and digital content has helped her build a growing audience within the online poker community.

Her addition to CoinPoker’s roster strengthens the brand’s connection with younger players who follow poker through social media and livestreamed games.

WisternJL Brings Streaming Audience

The second addition to the CoinPoker ambassador team is Danish poker streamer Lasse Jagd Lauritsen, widely known online as WisternJL.

Lauritsen previously served as a PokerStars Team Pro and built his following through consistent poker streaming on Twitch.

Although his social media presence slowed between late 2025 and early 2026, he remained active on Twitch, where his channel has accumulated close to 27,000 subscribers.

For CoinPoker, bringing a streamer into the ambassador program allows the platform to maintain visibility among online poker viewers who regularly consume tournament and cash game content through live streams.

Papo MC Strengthens Latin American Reach

The final addition to the March ambassador class is Alejandro Andres Lococo, an Argentinian poker player and entertainer widely known as Papo MC.

Lococo first gained fame as a battle rapper before expanding his public profile through blogging and poker appearances. He previously represented PokerStars as a brand ambassador and has become one of the most recognizable poker personalities in Latin America.

His appointment aligns with CoinPoker’s ongoing focus on expanding in the Latin American market. The platform has previously launched region specific promotions and established partnerships tied to Argentina, including collaborations with the Argentinian Football Association.

The addition of Merk, Lauritsen, and Lococo marks CoinPoker’s second wave of ambassador signings in 2026. By combining tournament professionals, streamers, and content creators, the platform appears to be focusing on broader audience engagement across multiple poker communities.

As competition among online poker platforms intensifies, ambassador programs remain one of the most widely used strategies for increasing visibility and attracting new players worldwide.
