Crypto Poker Ambassador Benjamin ’Bencb’ Rolle Dominates WSOP Online Main Event
Crypto meets high-stakes poker as industry ambassador Benjamin 'Bencb' Rolle captures the World Series of Poker Online Main Event crown.
Digital Assets Meet Felt Success
The professional poker star—who represents a leading cryptocurrency poker platform—outlasted thousands of competitors in the prestigious online tournament. His victory demonstrates the growing intersection between blockchain technology and competitive gaming.
Strategic Mastery Prevails
Rolle's win showcases how crypto-native players are dominating traditional poker circuits. The ambassador leveraged aggressive positioning and mathematical precision throughout the multi-day event, building stacks while conventional players hesitated.
Industry Implications
This landmark victory signals broader acceptance of cryptocurrency professionals in mainstream competitive spheres. While traditional finance gatekeepers debate regulatory frameworks, crypto ambassadors keep stacking victories—and chips.
Another case of digital asset proponents quietly outperforming while legacy systems debate their relevance.
Crypto Poker Pioneer
Benjamin regularly live streams across every major poker site including PokerStars, GGPoker, PartyPoker and more recently a smaller, crypto poker site CoinPoker where he became an ambassador in November 2024, joining other elite tournament pros Mario Mosböck and Patrick ‘Pads’ Leonard.

Rolle won a bitcoin themed ‘CoinMasters’ event on the site for 17,000 USDT and hosts his own freerolls for new players on the decentralized platform.
Speaking on his decision to represent the emerging blockchain poker site, Rolle remarked ‘We need competition (for online poker rooms). I’ve experienced one site dominating and doing whatever it wants… CoinPoker’s serious ambition has helped make them one of the industry’s leaders.’

The event was hosted on GGPoker, had 5961 entrants and ran for a total of 21 hours, split across two days with 18 Day 1 flights.
During the WSOP Online 2025 tournament series the site set a new record of 600,000 players online at one time, showcasing the rising popularity of online poker. Like CoinPoker, GG also accepts embraces crypto as a ‘secure and more private’ deposit method, describing cryptocurrency on its blog as a ‘digital revolution’.
The final table was commentated on by poker legend Phil Hellmuth, who has been following crypto since Bitcoin was $90. He was joined in the booth by Jeff Gross who hosts a crypto and poker podcast, and was a former ambassador for NFT platform 2Crazy.
