Nikhil ‘Nik Airball’ Arcot has signed on with CoinPoker as an official ambassador. The famed high-stakes poker player, who has become a staple of streamed and televised nosebleed games, announced the partnership on his X account on Tuesday.

Nik Airball revealed a special sign-up promotion in conjunction with his ambassadorship. Anyone who signs up and deposits with his promo code, AIRBALL, will be entered into a drawing. The winner will play Nik Airball heads up for $10,000.

That’s in addition to the normal CoinPoker sign-up bonus, which matches the deposit 150% up to $2,000 while also giving 33% rakeback.

Nik Airball also gave away 1% of his winnings in the Million Dollar Marathon game on Hustler Casino Live. He was one of the biggest winners on the show, according to the official tally at the end of the stream. Nik Airball netted a $1,351,500 win, so his giveaway will amount to more than $13,000. That aspect of the promotion requires sharing Arcot’s post on X, but is available until the end of the month.
