In a
statement released on Thursday afternoon, World Poker Tour and Full Tilt’s informative
site FullTiltPoker.net, announced a television sponsorship agreement that will
provide the educational site with some air time on the WPT Season VII episodes and increase WPTE's rising
sponsorship deals. The agreement is part of a series of renovations and
marketing deals announced by WPT, which includes a partnership with the popular
online social network Myspace. Under the agreement, Full
Tilt Poker will receive the rights to air “in-show educational gaming brand
integration” on the 26 all-new WPT Season VII episodes programmed to run on Fox
Sports Net in the U.S and
"We
are delighted to be in partnership with FullTiltPoker.net and bring together
two very strong brands with proven global reach and a loyal network of poker
fans. With WPT's incredible brand value and TV distribution through FSN coupled
with FullTiltPoker.net's massive online following, this partnership opens more
channels to reach new fans and continue feeding the appetite for new poker
content. The interaction between Full Tilt Poker and the World Poker Tour has
existed for a while, but it’s just never been formalized. We, along with
Disney, General Electric, and other publicly traded companies have been able to
integrate our programming with sites like Full Tilt" said Steve Lipscomb,
WPTE founder, president and CEO.
