Online poker giant PokerStars has announced the launch of a new game, Neymar Jr Kick-Off. It is set to replace the existing cycling-themed Grand Tour, the operator’s cycling-themed game launched in April 2020. Beyond the football theme, the game works exactly the same as before.

The redesign is perfect fit for PokerStars’ cultural ambassador and Brazilian football star Neymar Jr., who acts as the main face of the product.

The game first rolled out for a trial on the play money client last week, and debuted for real money on PokerStars.UK today. A wider network rollout will be carried out this month, the operator stated.
