Working in the capacity of both a personal coach and group seminar speaker, Kenna has helped to elevate the skill levels of thousands of poker players. James now brings his expertise to AIP in the field of player development.
James will be focusing his efforts on player acquisition, retention and education, which AIP believes will be a great asset in its plans moving forward.
Speaking on this new partnership, James commented: “Not only is Ape In Poker the next phase of online gambling, but it's really the next stage of my career. With the momentum of this project combined with the incredible technology behind it, there’s no way I was passing up this opportunity. This is a game changer.”
AIP has housed an online casino and sportsbook for over five years, attempting to bridge the gap between traditional casino play and cryptocurrency. It seeks to merge the poker experience with Web3 technology, with the vision of providing players with interactive and immersive experiences.
