Joey Ingram insulting Pokerpros agents
The Pokerbros poker app is once again under attack. Joey Ingram shared his views on the poker room, its agents and founders, and his take is certainly not very positive, to say the least.

While he’s not the first celebrity to speak out against the shady policies at Pokerbros, it’s great to see a highly influential poker celebrity to warn people from playing there.
Many poker rooms have registered increasing player numbers during the global pandemic. However, not all of them were reliable and trustworthy.
There have been numerous reports about Pokerbros having poor payout reliability. Moreover, there have been several players complaining about the games being rigged – this rumor has yet to be confirmed though.
Joey Ingram is definitely amongst the pros who consider Pokerbros to be a straight-up scam. The picture he posted on Twitter basically suggests that the agents at Pokerbros are pretty much printing money right now.
Moreover, he also called the agents at Pokerbros “super fucking degens” in a follow-up tweet.
Lol – the agents are super fucking degens. It might be GTO for owners to use degen agents who are incentivized to recruit harder.

Most of the replies on Twitter agreed with Joey in this case. A player reported that it took the site 25 single transactions to withdraw $4,500 which sounds absolutely strange and it’s obviously not something a reliable poker room would do.
Apparently it appears to be some sort of a pyramid scheme according to a Twitter user who assumed that deposits would be used by the site to pay for other players withdrawals.
Pokerbros structure
The Pokerbros is not set up like a regular poker room. Unlike safe and secure US online poker sites they are using so-called agents who are taking care of deposits and withdrawals.
These agents are also attracting new players to the site and they try to keep them playing at Pokerbros. The agents are also handling financial transactions like purchasing and selling chips to play with.
The players are rewarding the agents for handling these financial issues by giving them a portion of the rake that they have generated. Every player gets tracked to a specific agent and they have to provide a referrer ID when joining the site.
Due to this unique structure, there is not a certain single entity that you contact if you have trouble.
Especially when there is an issue involving your funds you may encounter difficulties resolving the problem.
