GGPoker Unveils Leah Hauer As New UK & Ireland Brand Ambassador

Popular content creator and rising poker star officially joins GGTeam to represent the world’s biggest online poker room

GGPoker.co.uk, the World’s Biggest Poker Room, today officially announces the signing of Leah Hauer as the newest member of its elite ambassador stable, GGTeam. Hauer steps into the spotlight as the dedicated UK & Ireland Brand Ambassador, representing GGPoker online at GGPoker.co.uk and at major live tournament circuits across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

From Corporate Consulting to the Poker Felt

Leah Hauer’s journey into the poker community is an intriguing story. A former League of Legends streamer with a razor-sharp competitive edge, Hauer has walked away from a successful corporate consulting career at Visa to pursue her passion for poker full-time.

Since dedicating herself to the game, she has built a loyal following within the UK poker community through her highly entertaining and authentic YouTube channel, ‘leahhatespoker’ – a tongue-in-cheek nod to the emotional roller coaster that every passionate player experiences.

Beyond her magnetic community presence, Hauer has begun to prove her prowess on the felt with international and domestic results, including:

• 2026 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Prague: A standout deep run, finishing 18th in the highly competitive €1,000 Ladies Championship
• British Poker Series (BPS) London: A brilliant podium finish, clinching 3rd place in the BPS Ladies Event
• Merit Poker Carmen Series: Back-to-back podium finishes (2nd and 3rd place) in Cyprus

In Their Own Words

“I am incredibly proud to partner with the world’s biggest online poker room and officially become a member of GGTeam,” said Leah Hauer. “My poker journey to date has been a wild ride, and the community in the UK and Ireland has always been at the heart of it. What excites me most about joining GGPoker is how closely our values align – a shared passion for growing the game, supporting players, and bringing the poker community together both online and at live events. I can’t wait to get started and help showcase the game we all love across the region.”

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Leah to the GGPoker family,” said Angela Martin, UK & Ireland Head of Marketing at GGPoker. “Leah brings a refreshing energy, genuine authenticity, and a fantastic connection to the grassroots UK poker scene. Her passion for the game and engaging content make her the perfect ambassador for GGPoker in the UK and Ireland. At GGPoker, we’re committed to doing things differently by celebrating and supporting our poker community both online and offline. Leah shares those values, and we’re excited to have her help us connect with and grow the game across the UK.”

Connecting the Community Online and Offline

As part of her role on GGTeam, Hauer will engage directly with players and be the face of the brand at marquee live events across the UK and Ireland, particularly at tournaments hosted by Grosvenor Casinos, which recently announced an exciting partnership with GGPoker. Players can expect to see her interacting on the felt, hosting community-driven initiatives, and vlogging her journey as she competes under the GGPoker banner.
