Hauer said joining GGTeam marked a major milestone in her poker career, describing the move as an opportunity to help grow the game and further connect with the poker community across the UK and Ireland.
“I am incredibly proud to partner with the world’s biggest online poker room and officially become a member of GGTeam,” she said.
“My poker journey to date has been a wild ride, and the community in the UK and Ireland has always been at the heart of it.
“What excites me most about joining GGPoker is how closely our values align – a shared passion for growing the game, supporting players, and bringing the poker community together both online and at live events. I can’t wait to get started and help showcase the game we all love across the region.”
Hauer has quickly emerged as one of the more recognisable personalities in the UK poker scene, building a loyal audience through her YouTube channel, leahhatespoker. A former competitive gaming streamer and corporate consultant at Visa, she made the transition into poker full-time and has since combined content creation with growing success on the live circuit.
Her recent results include an 18th-place finish in the €1,000 Ladies Championship at the World Series of Poker Europe in Prague, third place in the Ladies Event at the British Poker Series, and back-to-back podium finishes at the Merit Poker Carmen Series.
Angela Martin, Head of Marketing for UK and Ireland at GGPoker, said Hauer’s authentic approach and strong grassroots connection made her an ideal fit for the brand.
As part of her ambassador role, Hauer will appear at major live poker stops across the UK and Ireland, with a strong focus on tournaments hosted by Grosvenor Casinos following its recent partnership with GGPoker.
The operator said players can expect to see Hauer active both on and off the felt through live appearances, community initiatives and behind-the-scenes content as she documents her journey under the GGPoker (GGPoker review) banner.
Hauer joins the likes of all-time poker great Daniel Negreanu as an ambassador for GGPoker.
