Subscription Gaming Club To Be Included In New Television Series

Following an agreement with World Poker Tour Enterprises, the inventive UIGEA workaround for America's projected 60 million poker fans, ClubWPT, is to be featured in an upcoming Fox Sports Net television series.

ClubWPT, a membership-by-subscription organization operating under US sweepstakes regulations, was launched at the beginning of 2008 and offers daily poker and blackjack events. For payment of a monthly subscription of $19.95, players are given points to play in over 4,000 live tournaments, ring games and sit-n-go’s which include their opportunity to win each month, in access of $100,000 in cash and prizes.

For successful players, the Club also sponsors WPT tournament packages and in addition provides players with travel and entertainment discounts redeemable in Las Vegas and magazine subscriptions.

This new package comes after completion of an agreement between Fox and WPT, allowing Fox to broadcast Season VII of the World Poker Tour.

Fox Sports Net’s Executive Vice-President of Programming and Production for the Fox Sports Network George Greenberg, says he takes pride in its progressive approach to programming and is pleased to be the new home for the World Poker Tour. He says that the World Poker Tour is synonymous with big event poker and is a firmly established household brand. He sees the agreement as creating a perfect deal.
