MuchBetter Up’s The Ante To Partner With Felix Schneiders Upcoming GRND On Tour Live Poker Tournament!
MuchBetter was born out of a desire to support payments within the online gaming industry, with a core of staff who have long and distinguished careers with the most prominent gaming operators around, who came together to create a MuchBetter Digital Payments company.
Now a well-established, if still comparatively niche operator in the world of online payment, 2024 could be about to see them make significant moves to disrupt the market, bringing some exciting new products to market and making their first foray into the world of live poker. As they enter the live poker arena, players can be assured that this is just the start of things to come. Live poker is truly about to become MuchBetter.
Their first move to help deliver a MuchBetter Live Poker experience will see them partner with Felix Schneiders, the renowned Twitch streamer, PokerStars Pro, and MuchBetter Ambassador, who runs his own live poker tour under the banner of his Twitch channel, at an upcoming stop on his GRND On Tour Live Poker Tournament.
Running from May 29 to June 2 in the Czech Republic, the event brings fans from Felix's significant following, who get to meet and hang out with the man himself. Focusing primarily on recreational players with a love of the game, when Felix invited MuchBetter to join him at the event, they realized they'd have to live up to their name and improve the overall experience. Still, they've gone way beyond that and upped the ante by adding an EPT Barcelona Main Event package for the winner of the €160 GRND Main Event!
We spoke to MuchBetter's Director of Marketing, Tom Lenihan, about their ambitions. He told us, "We're really excited that our entry into live events is working with Felix, who has been a strong supporter of ours, and see this as just the start of even bigger events in the future."
Sign Up For a MuchBetter Wallet
In total, the GRND On Tour event will be made MuchBetter thanks to the following:
- Rake Free Pre-Registration: Poker players who buy into the event via P2P in their MuchBetter Wallet will have the rake paid by MuchBetter. No carrying large amounts of cash, no standing around at the cage to buy in; simply go to the MuchBetter desk and collect your even entry token.
- Free Payment Keyring: All players who buy into their chosen events will be rewarded with a FREE limited edition payment keyring. Supported by Mastercard®, the contactless keyring functions just like any other Mastercard payment device. It can be used to make payments worldwide, all fully GRND branded. Even better, tap the keyring on your phone, and you’ll be presented with the entire event schedule and other helpful event info.
- MuchBetter Support: MuchBetter will have staff on the ground at the event to help with everything from last-minute buy-ins to Digital Wallet support, ensuring the only thing players need to worry about is having their Aces cracked!
- MuchBetter Giveaways: Besides GRND-branded keyrings, players can swing by the MuchBetter desk to pick up some free merchandise. All players who reach the final table of any event will find an EXCLUSIVE MuchBetter hat upon being seated.
- EPT BARCELONA PACKAGE: The real kicker is the prize up top in the Main Event for the highest-finishing player who bought in via MuchBetter—a complete EPT Barcelona package worth almost €9,000. For a buy-in of €160 (if buying in via the MuchBetter Wallet) and an expected field size of less than 500 players, that represents insanely good value.
