From WSOP Glory to Epicbet Ambassador: Espen Jørstad Fronts New Poker Project

Jørstad, already seen repping the Epicbet patch at elite live stops, will front the brand globally as Epicbet Poker readies its launch on the iPoker network.

For Epicbet, the signing is a massive win in terms of brand visibility. For Jørstad, it is an opportunity to work with industry veterans he deeply respects. Jørstad said:

Epicbet’s Head of Poker, Thomas Hviid, views Jørstad's excellent public image as a core asset:

Based in London, the Norwegian pro exploded into the mainstream consciousness during the 2022 WSOP, where he won the $1,000 Tag Team event alongside Patrick Leonard, and then followed it up by conquering the Main Event for $10,000,000.

Before poker took over his life, Jørstad studied brewing science. He gradually built his poker reputation through heavy online volume and streaming. Today, his live earnings surpass $18.5 million.

Fans can expect to see Jørstad representing the brand at live festivals soon, prominently at the Epicbet Club Championship 2026 (September 16–21) at Banco Casino in Bratislava.

Meanwhile, Epicbet's strategic move to join the iPoker network this summer will grant the platform immediate access to a massive shared player pool. With a world champion bringing instant credibility, Epicbet's next challenge is to deliver a premium software and tournament experience that matches the prestige of its new ambassador.
