Ludwig and Alexandra Botez accuse poker sponsor of “refusing” to pay creators
“Now you might think I regret it because I was promoting gambling or something,” he continued, adding “I didn’t give a f**k about that. I think poker is a dope game.”
“The reason I regret it is because that company refused to pay me out and the money that I earned playing poker,” Ludwig explained.

He concluded: “It was so fking hard to pull the money out. If it’s hard for me, it means it’s hard for the other people who I was promoting to play poker. And so I stopped working with them because I think they’re kind of a dogst site.”
