About Scott Yeates
Following a 14 years career in the digital printing industry, Scott – who was always fascinated by Poker – decided he needed a change. He picked up on the online version right when Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker, and started constantly winning packages for live events over the internet. As a top tier player, he shared his ideas on to improve their business with PokerStars, until one day at 2005 came an email back that he hadn’t expected, “Do you want a job?”. His first task was to apply his behind-the-scenes understanding of what goes through a professional poker mind, into an immediate way to resolve the issue PokerStars had at the time with how can they deal with rakeback. VIP Program was the perfect solution, and he quickly become the Poker Community voice  within the organization, contributing to the ever improvement to meet the needs of PokerStars as well as the players.
