888poker extends sponsorship deal with World Series of Poker
Gib-headquartered firm to be afforded branding at the Las Vegas event
888poker has secured an agreement which will see it continue to sponsor the World Series of Poker (WSOP) for a sixth consecutive year.
Under the remit of the partnership, 888poker will be afforded prominent brand exposure at the event in Las Vegas, which is being broadcast online and on TV via ESPN and PokerGo.
888poker will also offer poker players from outside the US the opportunity to qualify for the tournament via its online platform.
Players can buy in from as little as one cent and have the chance to win a $15,000 package which includes a $10,000 buy-in for the WSOP main event.
Guy Cohen, 888 Holdings’ SVP of B2C, said: “We are very excited to be sponsoring the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas for the sixth year running.
“We’re proud to be longstanding partners of WSOP, the biggest and most popular poker series in the world, as part of our commitment to make poker more accessible and exciting for our customers who will be able to qualify to the biggest poker event of the year directly from 888poker’s online platform.”
