well after all they are in there just to attract new players from certain markets and to do so they must be "fresh"- that is relevant nowadays, for example just coming from a new big win, or signed a new contract or is a hot celebrity at the moment, or just was someone- everyone has some sort of fan base, this fan base can be exploited and then move over celebrity for another celebrity.

They have to realize at some point the 'boom' is over for now and stop paying all the 'musicians' who are not providing anything of value to the 'music'... Also, eff Amaya anyway for buying up three quarters of the whole market and making their flagship site less desirable day by day.

They are cutting unnecessary losses. About time for this to happen. They have made so many changes in poker itself to get more money, so why keep paying for a front window?
PokerStars has become so famous and popular that he does not need people who already represent the poker room .. of course this room stopped paying money to representatives of ... it is no longer necessary ..

I do not know any of them, this of course doesn't say much since I do not know probably 99% of poker players, i just play poker at some poker room and that's it, not care who those ambassadors are. I think mamy people also do not onow them or know them just by using Google, so not they but Google knows those ambassadors
