POKER LEGEND CHRIS MONEYMAKER JOINS E-WALLET COMPANY TO OFFER THE MUCHBETTER MONEYMAKER POKER EXPERIENCE
Leading e-wallet digital payments provider MuchBetter has partnered with poker legend Chris Moneymaker to offer its customers the chance to recreate the heroic journey from an unknown casual poker player to World Champion.
MuchBetter customers who register then upload US$ 86 in their e-wallet and deposit on their favourite online poker site will be entered into the MuchBetter Moneymaker Poker Experience draw and receive one chance to win one of three poker tournament experiences which includes a US$ 10,000 buy-in to a poker tournament and more. Every subsequent $1 they upload and deposit during September gives them another entry, so the more customers load, the more chances to win.
Eighteen years ago, US$ 86 turned Chris Moneymaker into a poker champion. Now, MuchBetter customers have their own chance to follow Moneymaker’s journey and they will have the legend himself to guide them along the path he trod in 2003.
As well as the poker buy-in, the winners will receive private online poker lessons from the legend himself to refine and hone their poker skills and strategy, and a whole lot of high-tech equipment to make their home poker set up much more enjoyable and slick.
“When I deposited that original US$ 86, I had no idea where it would lead,” said Chris Moneymaker. “I’m really looking forward to meeting our winners and working with them to write the next chapter of their poker story and excited to see where it takes them.”
Chris Moneymaker’s dream run to the WSOP 2003 Main Event title captured the imagination of recreational poker players everywhere when he won US$ 2.5 million after securing his seat via an US$ 86 online qualifying tournament.
The e-wallet app is known for its MegaDraw, the quarterly rewards draw which this year will give away 12,500 EUR each to four winners. The Moneymaker Poker Experience will award 50 runners up with an additional 1000 MegaDraw points to their MuchBetter accounts that will boost their chances of winning one of the cash prizes.
“Just like Chris, MuchBetter has a long history in online poker, and we are excited to partner with him to make poker dreams come true for our customers,” said Israel Rosenthal, CEO MuchBetter.
Moneymaker joins German poker pro and Twitch star Felix Schneiders in representing the award-winning e-wallet.
The MuchBetter Moneymaker Experience runs from September 1 to 30.

Jackpot.com Launches in Colorado Providing Consumers Mobile Lottery Access Across the Centennial State
Today, Jackpot.com, the online platform and app that allows individuals to safely and securely order official state lottery tickets and scratchers from their mobile phone and other devices, announced its launch in Colorado. On the heels of the Colorado Lottery’s 40th anniversary last year, the Centennial State will feature both draw games and Scratchers (digital scratch off games).
With Jackpot.com, Colorado players can instantly buy tickets for nationwide games such as Mega Millions and Powerball, as well as their favorite state lottery games, including Cash 5, Pick 3, Lucky 4 Life, and more. The innovative platform purchases tickets on behalf of its customers from an official state lottery retailer, displaying a scan of their ticket and transferring winnings under $600 in real-time to their account. For prizes greater than $600, Jackpot.com securely delivers the ticket to the winning player so they can collect the winnings from the Colorado Lottery.
“At Jackpot.com, we remain committed to growing the safe and secure access to the lottery across the country and we could not be more excited to add Colorado as our seventh state,” said Jackpot.com CEO and co-founder, Akshay Khanna. “Last year, the Colorado Lottery reached $4 billion in proceeds and they give back millions of dollars each year to state parks, schools, and various projects. They’re also notably invested in responsible gaming, which has been a staple at Jackpot.com since its inception. We can’t wait to become part of the Colorado community and provide an accessible and reliable lottery experience for players.”
Not only will Colorado residents have access to their favorite state lottery games, they’ll also have access to Scratchers – the digital scratch ticket offering focused on expediting the convenience and the processing times of scratch-off games. Jackpot.com will launch with five of the most popular scratchers in Colorado, including $3,000,000 Supreme, Casino Ca$h Chips, $250,000 ORO, and more. Customers simply have to “scratch” their device screen with their finger or mouse to reveal their scanned ticket and potential winnings. Jackpot.com delivers the industry’s fastest online lottery scratch card experience after undergoing a comprehensive business process review by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), which ensures its method for ordering and processing lottery scratch tickets is accurate and functions as expected for both Jackpot.com and the player.
This year marks the Colorado Lottery’s fourth consecutive year generating a new sales record, amassing over $900 million in revenue. This year’s success translates to more than $196 million in funds allocated to beneficiaries throughout the state. Since its first ticket sale in 1983, the Lottery has allocated over $4.2 billion to good causes across the state.
Jackpot.com has continued to raise the bar for responsible gaming through the integration of modern conveniences and safety guardrails, one of the key distinctive features of digital lottery platforms. The company has significantly invested in responsible gaming protections by allowing customers to set spend limits, setting default limits on daily deposits, providing access to local and national responsible gambling resources, self-exclusion, self-suspension and automated notifications that offer help should problematic behavior be detected. Jackpot.com is the only lottery courier service to launch with iCap certification from the National Council on Problem Gambling.
