New poker partnership will see new branded pub games across the UK
Monday 6th August 2007
Multi-platform interactive poker room Sky Poker has announced a partnership with one of the UK’s largest pub poker leagues, Poker Project, that will see it bring its brand of the game into pubs across Britain.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sky Poker and Poker Project will work together to provide players in UK pubs with a fun and entertaining evening where poker fans will be able to compare themselves with other poker players by earning points through quality of play. This will, in turn, provide them with ranking within a league.
In addition, as part of this league, Poker Project players have the opportunity of appearing live on Sky Poker. “We’re really excited about our partnership with Sky Poker,” said Aaron Chandiram of Poker Project.
“Every week thousands of people enjoy a sociable and fun game of poker at their local pub with the Poker Project. We’re delighted that, with Sky Poker, these players will feel a little closer to games they see online and on television.”Poker Project began life in May of 2006 in Buckinghamshire with four locations and 250 members. It has since grown to 4,500 members playing at nearly 100 pubs across the Britain. Poker Project players compete to finish top of a national league every three months.
“At Sky Poker we’re proud to offer a fun and entertaining poker experience for new and more experienced players on both television and online,” said Emma Crowe, Head of Poker at Sky Poker.
“Now, through our partnership with Poker Project, we offer a fun live environment for people to learn and play poker. We’re excited that with the Poker Project the Sky Poker community is continuing to grow.”
