World Poker Tour and PartyGaming form a partnership

Two of pokers biggest giants have decided to team up and form an international partnership. The World Poker Tour has signed a multi-year sponsorship deal with PartyGaming that will mean partypoker.com will now be visible during WPT telecasts that are now on air and future telecasts. This is not only for the actual World Poker Tour shows, but also for the Professional Poker Tour shows that will be aired. For the events that have already been aired the programs will be re-engineered and have virtual logos on the tables and in the corners wherever both parties feel works best.

The decision for the World Poker Tour and Party Gaming to join forces is to put each other in a strong position to increase their overall international market visibility. Also in this deal PartyGaming has made strong commitments towards providing online satellites to World Poker Tour events and in addition, PartyGaming will help promote the WPT academy.

All in all this is a partnership that in the end should benefit both parties and it will be interesting to see how it benefits both companies in the long run.
