VGW (Virtual Gaming Worlds) today announced their latest celebrity partnership with silver screen superstar Ryan Seacrest.

Seacrest, an Emmy-Winning television host, radio personality, and mega-producer, will work alongside Chumba Casino over a 12-month partnership with America's number 1 social casino brand.

This partnership sets the stage for an incredible 2024 for Seacrest, who is not only teaming up with Chumba Casino but is also gearing up to take on the hosting role for the iconic TV show Wheel of Fortune, succeeding the legendary Pat Sajak, who held the position for over 40 years.

Who doesn’t love games? I’m now excited to announce my partnership with Chumba to bring the fun home all year long, making it accessible and easy to all.

Seacrest, who will celebrate his 49th birthday on Christmas Eve, shot to household name status in 2002 when he began hosting the reality singing competition American Idol, which recently wrapped its 21st season in May of this year.

It marked a first foray into the world of reality TV and a significant turning point in Seacrest's career, opening the door to electrifying success for his production company, Ryan Seacrest Productions.

Founded in 2006, Seacrest and his production company have since been at the helm of a diverse array of immensely popular reality TV hits, with perhaps the most notable being the cultural phenomenon "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

Now, Seacrest is bringing his golden touch to the world of free online games as he teams up with Chumba Casino for a range of exciting marketing initiatives, including throughout the conclusion of the popular football season in the northern hemisphere.

Expressing enthusiasm for his new relationship with Chumba, Seacrest said, "Who doesn’t love games? I’m now excited to announce my partnership with Chumba to bring the fun home all year long, making it accessible and easy to all".

A Stellar Year For VGW

The addition of Seacrest adds to an already impressive 2023 for VGW, which saw the Group's recent successful Global Poker Celebrity Challenge for its Global Poker brand, which showcased basketball stars Paul George and Karl-Anthony Towns, iconic Olympian Michael Phelps, and international sensation DJ Khaled.

Echoing Seacrest's sentiments, David Lyons, General Manager of Chumba Casino and Global Poker, said of the arrangement, "We were really pleased with how the Global Poker Celebrity Challenge was received, and we're equally excited about working with Ryan, which marks Chumba’s most notable partnership with a celebrity to date."

"Ryan’s not only obviously incredibly talented but has broad recognition and traits that align with our brand. I don’t want to give too much away, but we have some pretty cool plans in this space across all our brands going forward."
