ACR Poker\u00a0is facing a lawsuit for non-payment of fees to several influencers who helped promote the poker site on social media platforms.<\/p>\n
Scott Ball and his agency, End Game Talent, LLC (EGT), are suing America’s Cardroom (now known as ACR Poker<\/a>), which is one of the leading pokers rooms in the US<\/a>, and CEO Phil Nagy for \u201cat least $30 million\u201d. Additionally, the lawsuit claims that ACR has defamed Ball by blaming him for the influencers not being paid.<\/p>\n The agreement dates back to July 2021, with the unpaid influencer bills from April 2023.<\/p>\n In his lawsuit, Ball alleges that ACR Poker were due to make nine monthly payments of $3.3 million for a total of $29.7 million.<\/p>\n But trouble began immediately, according to Ball. It\u2019s claimed that ACR asked to switch to weekly payments, buying them more time to pay, and that they also made a request for a two-month break. According to the lawsuit, this was because they needed to \u201cslow down\u201d their outgoings from poker prize pools.<\/p>\n Ball agrees that the first three $1.1 million payments were indeed completed, though claims that no further payments were made due to ACR being \u201clow on BTC\u201d.<\/p>\n Big streamer @LudwigAhgren<\/a> says that America's Card Room refused to pay him out. He says it's his biggest regret in working with a sponsor and that they're a "dogshit site" pic.twitter.com\/10alxje1CE<\/a><\/p>\n — Thomas Keeling (@SrslySirius) August 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nPrevious Claims<\/span><\/h2>\n
