Thursday 16th September 2004 WagerWorks to Create WPT Branded Site
As part of a continued brand expansion for the World Poker Tour brand, WPT Enterprises has announced it has entered into an agreement with software providers, Wagerworks, to offer an international, real-money gaming website, to countries where such activities are legal. The site will prohibit bets from players in the U.S. and other jurisdictions where online gaming is prohibited.
As well as a poker room featuring various poker games, including Texas Hold'em, Sit and Go, Omaha, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Hi-Lo, WPTE says the site will feature a WPT-branded, including table games and slots and WagerWorks' exclusive online titles such as Monopoly(TM), Wheel of Fortune(R) and The Price is Right(TM).
'As the World Poker Tour matures, poker enthusiasts can expect to experience our unique brand of entertainment on platforms other than television,' said Steve Lipscomb, Founder and President of WPT Enterprises. 'The expansion into international online gaming is a natural fit for the WPT brand and we are pleased to offer our fans in other countries a way to interact with WPT in a fun and challenging online gaming environment. This is the perfect way for us to leverage our international television distribution and international online gaming site.'
'It has always been WagerWorks' objective to establish partnerships with leading gaming companies and premier brands in the industry,' said Paul Miltenberger, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Wagerworks. 'The World Poker Tour has clearly established itself as both, and we're pleased to partner with the organization to further extend its brand and entertainment experience online to poker players throughout the world.'
