Why Patrik Antonius Co-Founded a Poker Software Company
Patrik Antonius has spent twenty years at the highest-stakes tables in the world. In 2018 he co-founded a software company for live poker rooms. This page explains why - and what he actually does here.
He is a co-founder, not a face
Patrik does not just put his name on FLOP. He co-founded it in 2018, builds the product with us, and speaks for it in his own voice. That distinction matters commercially: an endorsement can be bought, a co-founder cannot.
What he brings
Triton champion, $5M win, Monaco 2024
30,000+ players brought to FLOP organically, with no paid advertising
That last number is the one operators care about. It was achieved without ad spend, through Patrik's own channels - and the same engine now points at partner poker rooms.
His role today
Patrik hosts the games FLOP builds around: The Antonius Game, the Meet-Up Game weekends, and the Patrik Antonius Poker Challenge. For a partner room, that isn't marketing decoration - it's the reason a group of players chooses your room on a Thursday night.
