GWINCo is the sole publicly traded sports handicapping
company in America. Their CEO recently announced that the
company has signed a letter of intent with Live Caste Media,
LLC (LCeM) to join them in entering the online poker business.
LCeM is a provider of total online gaming services. These
include marketing and multimedia involvement. The company
operates worldwide and has offices in the UK, North America,
and Asia since 2003. Some of the most highly developed, state-of-the-art
services for Web platforms worldwide are provided through
LCeM. By combining their efforts the two companies will be
able to use their new online poker businesses WARRPoker.com
and WARRPoker.net to capitalize on the image and name of
GWINCo CEO Wayne Rot, as well as GWINCo’s database
of gamblers and media properties. At the same time, they
will be able to utilize LCeM’s expertise in the creation,
support and operations of poker Web sites. GWINCo CEO Wayne
Rot is very well known by his abilities to develop and to
market sports handicapping information and data by TV, radio,
and the Internet. Rot is also known for his production of
sporting and gamming programs.
The two new sites, WARRPoker.com and WARRPoker.net get
their name through the use of Rot’s initials, WARR
(Wayne Allen Randolph Rot), and this should provide players
with his positive association with the sites. The WARRPoker.com
site plans to focus on the countries in Asia and Europe that
allow online gambling. WARRPoker.com refuses to receive wagers
from American citizens when online gambling is illegal or
from the citizens of other country where this activity is
prohibited as being illegal. In contrast, WARRPoker.net,
is intended solely as a site for fun and prizes only and
it plans to concentrate on the U.S. market in locations where
this model of online gaming has previously been proven within
the United States, to be extremely popular.
GWINCo CEO Rot has commented, when relating to the two
new sites, that after a period of 19 years spent on American
television perfecting his image, company credibility, as
well as name recognition and promoting the growth of WARR
name as a brand, the believes that the time has come to capitalize
on this image by setting up WARRPoker.net as the site here
in the United States market for play, fun and prizes. He
notes how the game of Poker has become one of the most popular
forms of gambling and how poker shows have become amongst
the most popular television shows. These include he notes,
the “World Poker Tour”, on the Travel Channel
up to the “World Series Poker” on ESPN, as well
as the “Celebrity Poker Showdown” on Bravo. Rot
sees a vast audience of sports gamblers that have become
poker players – whether it be for serious play or just
for fun. Rot is reported as stating his belief that his name
and brand can have real impact on poker. He sees the payoff
as being as large, or even larger than what it is for his
sports handicapping advice. According to Rot, because of
the large number of sports gamblers who are poker players
and who already are familiar with the WARR name, GWINCo is
in an ideal position for capitalizing on the current success
of poker.
The director of Live Cast Media, David Mitchellberg, has
also expressed similar amounts of confidence in the WARRPoker
sites. He says that Live Cast Media is extremely excited
about its present opportunity to develop, market and support
Wayne Allyn Randolph Root (WARR) poker sites. Mitchellberg
notes that online poker has become a incredible phenomenon
and an amazing profit generator. This is true, he says, not
only in the United States, but throughout the world. He stresses
the importance of using brand awareness as the key to capturing
a portion of these profits, along with marketing. The Wayne
Allyn Randolph Root name and GWINCo’s media properties,
advertising and marketing exposure will serve as powerful
tools for bringing customers to both WARRPoker.net and WARRPoker.com,
Net sites he believes. This he adds is not only true for
the United States, but Asia and Europe as well.
