Poker community and staking marketplace Global Poker Link have inked a deal with Americas Card Room that will see players winning seats for the 2016 World Series of Poker.

The poker community and staking marketplace, Global Poker Link, has inked a deal with the Winning Poker Network’s (WPN) flagship site Americas Card Room.

“Welcome back to the good ol’ days!” Reads the opening line of the press release that sits in my e-mail sandwiched between a note from Rich Roll telling me how his plant-based mission is going to transform mainstream culture, and Events at PokerStars telling me that I have $16 in my account so I should open up the client and lose it all.

Global Poker Link owner, Tyler Hancock, made his name in the early noughties when he realised he could earn significantly more money through rake-related schemes than he could playing. He created an affiliate site called paidpokerplayers.com, made a ton of money, moved on to form pokerbrokers.com and then finally acquired Global Poker Link.
