Americas Cardroom Announces Jose Ignacio "Nacho" Barbero as ACR Team Pro

ACR strengthen its Team Pro roster with latest signing.

Americas Cardroom (ACR) today announced Argentinian poker pro, Jose Ignacio "Nacho" Barbero as its latest Team Pro. Barbero will be playing on ACR with the screenname "Travisrice".

Barbero's been dominating the poker tables for nearly 15 years. He burst onto the circuit back in 2010, when he won two Latin American Poker Tour championships in less than four months. His streak didn't stop there, and he's raked in more than $8.4 million in live tournament winnings since.

Earlier this year, Barbero showed he is still a force to be reckoned with, winning the $15,000 buy-in Triton Super High Roller Series event in Vietnam and taking home $600,000 .

Despite so much success on the felt, Barbero only won his first WSOP bracelet last summer. He beat 419 other players in the $7,000 buy-in No Limit Hold'em Super Turbo Bounty WSOP Event and walked away with $587,520 . Barbero will be returning to the WSOP tables in 2023.

"I'm thrilled to join the ACR Team," said Barbero. He added, "I'm excited to be representing a site that loves poker as much as I do and puts the players first. I look forward to the opportunity of introducing ACR into new markets and help grow it even more into a worldwide brand."

Melanie Moser , Head of Partnerships at ACR said, "I am delighted to add Jose 'Nacho' Barbero to our diverse team of ambassadors. He is not only a poker legend in the LATAM market but has made waves in the international poker circuit for years, while his recent successes make it obvious that he is not done with winning big. He is a fantastic player and representative of the game. I cannot wait to see what he does next, on and off the felt!"

Barbero will take to the live poker tables at EPT Monte Carlo, which takes place from April 26–May 6 at Le Casino Monte Carlo.

GameStop (NYSE:GME) continues to cool following a trading frenzy that drove shares up by 75 percent between the close of trading last Friday (May 31) and the start of trading on Monday (June 3).

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
