New Online Poker Site 4Poker Launches: Accused Cheat, 'Cult Leader' Behind Company
A new online poker room has just opened for real money play in the Latin American market. It is based in the Isle of Man, licensed in Malta and is founded by industry veterans, including several former PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker employees.
One of the names behind 4Poker is none other than Bryn Kenney.
Back in April 2022, PokerNews.com featured the headline "All-Time Poker Money Leader Bryn Kenney Accused of Running Cult-Like Cheating Operation".
Appearing on a Doug Polk podcast, Martin Zamani accused the high roller legend of, more or less, running a cult-like online poker cheating operation on GGPoker.
Zamani would go on to tweet that Kenney and others were involved in collusion on the site.
Since we are in the midst of calling out cheaters @BrynKenney and all his horses are basically forced to collude on GG esp in satties. “ do what’s best for the team” he wouldn’t let me play GG 5k plo events on my account but on party I could play 10Ks if said horse ghost was.

Zamani at the time continued on a bizarre Twitter rant.
"There was a specific time me and his horse were on a same table in a 10K plo 6 max on party and he played both accounts. Any type of arguing with Bryn would be faced with gaslighting that I’m not open minded and he’s trying to help us. That’s why he sent me to a shaman.
"Oh, don’t want to do mushrooms with Bryn? Dropped in stakes. Oh you don’t want to see my retard psychic? Dropped in stakes. Oh I heard your not eating healthy and you eat grass fed organic meat instead of vegetables from shittt Mexico store?Heard you didn’t do yoga? Dropped.
"There was also the other the other time his horse Sergi Rexiach got banned from gg for cheating for RTA. The same horse bryn made me and Cock sucker miscowski move to Mexico to get coaching from him. Dropped him $1M in makeup and said u owe me the $ I don’t deal with cheaters.
"A month later after realizing sergi wouldn’t pay, he goes your back on the team get to salving away. He doesn’t even give you immediate chops when your winning. If you wins $25k /; 500K+ in ur stake but a 50K is coming, you gotta risk your stake profit and if you say nty. Welp gl."
Kenney has denied the claims and spoke exclusively to PokerNews following the claims lodged by Zamani.
"Martin's a person that, through our conversations, has never been really happy in his life," Kenney told PokerNews' Sarah Herring.
In regard to Zamani's claims that Kenney could view his horse's screen while they were playing online poker, Kenney did not hold back.
“It’s absolutely crazy, it’s one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard in my life,” Kenney said in response to the allegation.
Kenney also denied running a "ghosing" scheme.
As for 4Poker, the site looks to roll out globally in the coming months following a soft launch throughout much of 2022. It will not be accessible to those in the US, UK, France, Italy or Spain.
“We’ve put together a first-class team to launch 4Poker with a focus on ensuring customer support is professional, payments fee-free, and game integrity given the number one priority it deserves,” said Heath Cram, Chief Operating Officer of 4Poker and former PokerStars employee, in a recent press release. “We want to be transparent and fair, which is what the poker community deserves. And, of course, there’s going to be some big promotions.”
