Earlier this month, several poker news publications had posted information that GGPoker had appeared to have parted ways with Dan Bilzerian. Over the last day, GGPoker confirmed through a tweet that Dan was indeed continuing on as a partner.

GGPoker Confirms Dan Bilzerian Is Still Their Guy, and Twitter Isn’t Silent About It
I'll spare the politics as we have all been vocal where we stand...but...I just do not trust GG on this matter at all. Which is a shame as I like playing there and think none of this was ever necessary.
I just double checked a few things (I was playing) to make sure I was squared away on a few facts.
After the word got out, GG already had 2 weeks to inform everyone Blizerian's departure was not true. They didn't. However, if you play on site you saw all references to Bilzerian have been removed. Not just regards Battle Royale for which he was used as the pitchman but from the emoticons also - they now are limited to generic, Negreanu and Elky.
If you then bother to check the GG general site you will find Bilzerian scrubbed there also. Under Ambassadors, there are four remaining - Jason Koon, Daniel Negreanu, Elky and Fedor Holz...then they list their other Twitch teams etc. There is no mention or image of Bilzerian anywhere.
As I already said, I don't find GG credible on this because from the get go they knew what they were doing with Bilzerian. I don't really care if it's another dubious stunt to draw attention by bugging people. I don't care if some executive put out a Tweet in a hissy fit because people were happy that Bilzerian appears to have been canned.
I just find it very odd a company of this scale makes such choices and seems determined to present in a weird and offensive manner.
