MySpace, the world's premier social network, and World Poker Tour (WPT) ave joined forces to create the first fully integrated poker destination with games and content for all current Myspace members. The MySpace WPT community delivers a unique poker experience with great content for poker players, including expert tips and tricks, player profiles, video clips, tournament news, and behind-the-scenes videos. The community provides a place for poker players to meet one another and interact with their favorite WPT superstars and discover new WPT content.
The MySpace WPT section offers a free multi-player poker game. The free poker game allows MySpace members to compete against each other online in real time, putting their poker skills to the test in live or private poker tournaments. MySpace is bringing a new dimension of entertainment to users with this integrated WPT poker hub and providing an easy and fun way for users to play poker with friends on MySpace," said Angela Courtin, senior vice president of marketing, entertainment and content for MySpace. "MySpace has a balance of a social community base and a global portal platform that allows brands like WPT to create great online entertainment experiences for our users. As the Web becomes increasingly more social, MySpace is at the forefront of innovation and online engagement."
"Poker and social networking have separately reached and engaged people around the world in ways like nothing we've seen before," said Steve Lipscomb, WPT Founder, President and CEO. "As poker continues to see major growth across the globe, this partnership meets the demand for a poker experience that appeals to enthusiasts of all levels by connecting consumers in one unique, fully-integrated gaming and entertainment environment."Poker fans will also see the MySpace WPT community get in the action during WPT Season VII television broadcasts, featured on the final table ring where the remaining six players battle it out for millions of dollars and a WPT title. Premiering on Fox Sports Net later this year, the World Poker Tour follows the pros, newcomers, and all the poker action from Las Vegas to Barcelona, featuring all-new final tables where millions of dollars and a WPT title are at stake.No purchase is necessary for the ClubWPT.com sweepstakes and the service is void in states where prohibited.
