Shane Lynch Signed to Ladbrokes Poker

Boyzone Star Shane Lynch is the latest sponsored player to join Ladbrokes Poker. Lynch signed a one year contract and he is also being sponsored by Ladbrokes to drive a car in motorsport drifting. The card room is going to work with Lynch to turn him from a beginner player to a pro.

During his year as a sponsored player, Lynch will be playing online as well as in Vegas and Europe. His sponsorship will end at the Irish Poker Festival in Killarney next year. Lynch commented on his new sponsorship by stating:

“I’d always been a bit intimidated by the poker scene; I’d seen it on TV and found the whole thing a bit baffling. But having spent time with the Ladbrokes players at a few events last year, I’ve seen that you don’t need to be an expert to give it a go. I’m really looking forward to getting into this poker journey, learning more and having some great fun along the way.”

Kate McLennan Head of Ladbrokes Poker said “Shane is the perfect ambassador for Ladbrokespoker.com – he’s a great guy and totally down to earth. We want to show that poker is for everyone. We’re not like other sites that spend huge amounts on poker professionals that their players will never be able to relate to. Ladbrokespoker.com is the site that’s friendly, accessible, where all ages and abilities come together. Poker takes a moment to learn and a lifetime to master. With Shane, we want to show that anyone can give it a go and have fun.”
