7 WORLD SERIES OF POKER SPONSORSHIPS FROM MILLERS
(395) (6-September-2006)
New multi-week online poker promo announced for a claimed 65
million U.S. poker players - and it's legal!
Poker Creations has announced a multi-week, online poker promotion with
Milwaukee's Best Light Beer and Casino Media Group , a multi-media agency
with offices in Toronto, New York and Las Vegas.
In terms of the agreement, Poker Creations will provide online logistics
for its second nationwide promotion sponsored by Milwaukee's Best Light
Beer, a Miller Brewing product.
Beginning on September 10, Milwaukee's Best Light will invite legal-drinking-age
consumers to visit the Milbestlight.com website to register and compete
in an online Texas Hold'em tournament. Seven grand prize winners will
earn seats at the 2007 World Series of Poker, airfare and lodging. MBL
beer packs will carry details of the promotion, too.
The Poker Creations release quotes a report from the New York Times
that there are more than 65 million poker players in the US, where live-money
Internet poker sites are considered illegal. This, together with recent
actions against a well known sportsbook by US authorities has caused
US-based brand owners and media properties to re-evaluate how to align
themselves with this burgeoning new audience.
"We have developed a US-legal promotional poker platform that allows sponsors
to offer free online poker to their constituencies," said Michael Clebnik
, COO of Poker Creations. "Our poker rooms offer exciting online poker
play, but, unlike offshore or remote sites, we offer contestants the opportunity
to win prizes, without gambling. This promotion with Milwaukee's Best Light
highlights our unique 'advergaming', software assimilating sponsor's brands
into the application in a myriad of ways, making the sponsor a truly integrated
part of the action. |
