Everest Poker becomes main WSOP* Sponsor

Everest Poker has signed a multi-year promotional agreement with the world's largest and most prestigious poker tournament, The World Series of Poker.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP(R)) is the world's premier poker event, with over 50,000 players from around the world competing for a prize pool of over US$150 million.

Everest Poker is one of the world's most popular poker sites, and was named Poker Operation of the Year in 2007 by industry journal e-Gaming Review.

Under the terms of the deal announced yesterday, Everest Poker will be the sole poker related table sponsor of the WSOP and will enjoy a prominent logo position on the "felt" on every table in the competition as well as exclusive brand positioning on the coveted "inner-rung" of the championship table.

The alliance also includes other prominent onsite visibility at the WSOP, including hanging banners and barricade logos.

"We are very pleased to have Everest Poker join the World Series of Poker family," said WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack. "Everest Poker is one of the leading poker brands in Europe and around the world and will help strengthen our own brand even further."

"We are very proud, very excited for Everest Poker to be the sole poker related table sponsor of the World Series of Poker, one of the greatest championship events in the world," stated GigaMedia Chief Executive Officer Arthur Wang. "We plan to bring our large international player base to the WSOP to make it an even greater event -- in partnership with Everest Poker."

Party has had it the last few years, and Everest is a non US room.

Its the old CYA.
Sponsor allows US players, sponsor comes to vegas with sponsorship presence, promotes site at vegas. DOJ arrests sponsor's reps and holds them indefinitely. Publicize it extensively and hope it moves the death toll among americans in Iraq down the headlines some. In business its called Bait and Switch. In government its called...heck I don't know what to call it without getting put on the do not fly list . But its bad, very bad.
