“I started my poker journey playing at PokerStars and it’s always had a special place in my heart,” said Koon. “I’m looking forward to bringing the PokerStars experience to players here in the US and across the world.”

Caitlin Comeskey, meanwhile, has been steadily building a following and making a name for herself as a content creator, comedian, and podcaster alongside her burgeoning poker career.

After winning the “Rising Star in Content Creation”award at the 2023 Global Poker Awards, Comeskey also won the “Best Short-Form Content Creator” award in 2024.

“I strongly believe that fun is the beating heart of our poker economy,” Comeskey said. “PokerStars is committed to producing fun, quality poker entertainment – such as the Big Game on Tour – and it’s humbling and thrilling to join the squad. I feel like I’m a part of something special and I can’t wait to share more of what we do with our community.”

Speaking on the double signing, PokerStars Director of North America Steve Preiss said: “PokerStars has always been, and continues to be, about the biggest names in poker, and the best in poker entertainment. Jason and Caitlin bring relevance, authenticity, expertise and humour and their addition to the PokerStars team reinforces our commitment to bringing poker back to the big stage.”
