He has received full backing of the online casino for the tourney as well. The online casinos CEO had this to say about Majid’s joining the team: ‘We are absolutely delighted to sponsor Imran Majid as he faces the biggest challenge of his career. Majid is the ‘Maharajah’ of pool, so we can think of no more appropriate partnership. We wish him every success at the Mosconi Cup, which is effectively the Ryder Cup of pool. We know he will be an ideal partner for us.’

In order to decide the winner, a maximum of 24 matches will be played. USA holds the upper hand – they have won the trophy 12 times, with Europe winning only twice. This online casino sponsored player will definitely have his work cut out for him.
