New integrated website for WPT
17th March, 2008
The World Poker Tour (WPT) has launched a new poker website - WPTonGSN.com - in conjunction with its television network partner GSN.
As well as promoting the new broadcasting deal between the global tour and the cable TV provider - something which currently reaches some 66-million viewers - it also aims to serve as a portal for poker enthusiasts.
The website offers up-to-date scheduling information for all major WPT events, as well as offering behind-the-scenes information including poker player profiles, exclusive previews of important poker games and a GSN channel locator.
"WPTonGSN.com is the one-stop shop for everything poker fans would want in a website," commented Jamie Roberts, senior vice president of programming, GSN. "It provides exclusive content, features, information and much more about the new season of the WPT as it premieres on its new network home, GSN."
In an effort to galvanise public support for the new site the two brands have also launched the WPT VIP Sweepstakes, offering such prizes as WPT Boot Camp admissions and even free WPT Cruises.
