Dan Carter, known lovingly by his nickname, Lucky Scrote, has just landed himself a sponsorship deal with poker.co.uk after impressive performances in a number of tournaments and a swathe of high profile press coverage. Not particularly remarkable you might think for a pro to pick up such a deal, but it is when you consider the guy is only 18 years of age.
Poker.co.uk director Matt Dale had been tracking him for a while and moved after he saw articles appearing in some major magazines. “Dan’s record was very impressive for someone so young,” he says. “I knew we had to do something.” Carter will wear his sponsor-smothered kit for the first time at the Luton Springfest over 8th and 9th April and then at the Irish Poker Open on 15th and 16th April. “It’s brilliant to have the support of such a strong brand,” according to the Scrote himself. “I look at this as a win-win situation.” With all that extra money to put on the table, why shouldn’t he?
