Patrik Antonius Teams Up with WePoker: Security and Fair Play Take Center Stage

The Legend of World Poker
 

Finnish poker professional Patrik Antonius is among the greatest legends in world poker. With a career spanning over twenty years, he has earned a reputation as a top-tier player, whether in live tournaments, cash games, or the online arena. With total tournament winnings nearing $23 million, he was inducted into the prestigious Poker Hall of Fame last year, officially joining the ranks of the poker immortals.

Antonius has leveraged his star status beyond just competitive play. In the past, he was one of the standout faces of Full Tilt Poker, serving as a sponsored player and ambassador during the online poker boom. He's also not shied away from new ventures, co-founding the poker platform First Land of Poker (FLOP), which acts as a social network and training tool for players, and hosting his live festival, the Patrik Antonius Poker Challenge in Tallinn, Estonia.

Partnership with WePoker: More Than Just Sponsorship
 

The latest chapter in Antonius's poker narrative is his fresh partnership with the online platform WePoker. This significant move sees Antonius not only becoming an official brand ambassador but also a security advisor. WePoker is an Asia-focused online poker application, and Antonius is set to help the platform grow further in this dynamic market—through his presence, experience, and expert advice. His addition to the ambassador team means that on WePoker, he will now stand alongside other stars like Phil Ivey and Kristen Foxen, who recently joined the brand.

Antonius summarized the essence of this collaboration in a tweet with three phrases: "Fair play. Real skills. True players." Unlike typical sponsorship deals in the poker world, Antonius sees this partnership as a mission with deeper meaning. "This is not just about sponsorship. It's a chance to contribute to something meaningful and help shape a better future for the game I love," Antonius declared about his entry into WePoker.

In his new role, he plans to participate in Star Table livestreams on WePoker—special live tables where online players can directly compete against him, while viewers watch his gameplay live from a pro’s perspective. This feature is one of the platform's main draws, aimed at bringing top-notch poker closer to regular fans, according to Antonius. Additionally, Patrik will monitor game integrity—using his years of experience to help detect potential dishonest practices and frauds. WePoker has developed its own security system, Security Guardian, which blends advanced data analysis with manual oversight from experts to detect collusion and dishonest tools.

What is WePoker and What Does It Offer Players?
 

WePoker is a modern online poker platform (available as a mobile app for Android and iOS) that has recently made its mark primarily in the Asian market. It presents itself as Asia's number one poker platform, with undeniable global ambitions. At first glance, WePoker might resemble other well-known poker apps but aims to differentiate itself by focusing on community and security. Players can expect everything they look for in online poker—from popular Texas Hold’em to other favored variants, a diverse range of tables and tournaments, leagues, and events for both recreational and professional players.

WePoker also builds its identity on renowned names in the poker scene. Besides Antonius, the platform features legends like Phil Ivey and champion Kristen Foxen. Such a lineup of global players not only boosts the brand's prestige but also signals the values they stand for—fairness, expertise, and quality. As Antonius emphasizes, WePoker is not just another poker room in the market. At a time when the online poker community faces various challenges—from security risks to maintaining game integrity—this platform represents a welcome effort to set a new standard.
