Jogar Poker Online Look To Build On Success Of WSOP Sponsorship For Second Year
London --Jogar Poker Online have started the build-up for their second year as official sponsor of the World Series of Poker and will shortly be unveiling some unrivalled promotions to increase last year’s record international attendance at the world’s biggest poker event.
In March 2008, Jogar Poker Online signed a major multi-year sponsorship agreement with Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. which includes online and live satellite rights coupled with brand placement on all of the table-top felts at the WSOP in Las Vegas, and for the first time, the inner rung of the WSOP feature table.
Last year’s WSOP saw a record breaking 58,720 people participate in the richest WSOP in history, with a prize pool reaching €180,676,248. Jogar Poker Online’s strong understanding of European markets helped leverage visibility of the WSOP outside of North America to attract a larger number of international poker communities to the event - a record 36% increase year on year of the number of countries participating. In fact, so strong was the European challenge last year that a record 8 of the final ten players came from ‘over the water’.
This year, Jogar Poker Online hopes to continue to reach international poker communities and promote the WSOP to players across Europe and other continents through some unique and exclusive promotions for players qualifying on its site.
