First Ever Bar Poker League in Germany

Poker tournaments at your local bar what more could you ask for.  Their is a new partnership between Everest Poker and the World Poker Store.  They are the new co-sponsors of Germany's first official Bar Poker League and the two companies will be promoting tournaments at over 100 venues across the country.

Everest Poker is going to be the online sponsor for the project and will have exclusive brand visibility on the league's poker tables, chips and playing cards.  Their brand will also be included in the advertising on the League's web site, theworldpokerstore.com with additional collaborative efforts and exposure through special live events in Everest's online poker room.

"We are the one poker room that has always been 100% focused on Europe, and ventures like this fit perfectly with our brand," said Everest Poker CMO Jennifer Joyce. "Everest Poker aims to bring each player a unique and individualized playing experience., and offering the thrill of live poker to German players through a network of venues across the country is the perfect opportunity."
 
"In the longer term, we feel this is the sort of model that can be replicated across the continent and eventually into a Pan European Championship for real players representing their local bar which is what Everest Poker is all about," Joyce said.

World Poker Store Inc. CEO, Chuck Chastain, said he was excited to welcome Everest Poker to the World Poker Store and Bar Poker League family.

"This partnership will offer our players in Germany even more opportunity to compete world wide for premiere tournament invites through the league and now through Everest's online contests as well. Plus, the timing of Everest's alliance with Harrah's Entertainment and brand exposure on table felts and television coverage at the World Series of Poker couldn't be better as it further validates the strength of our German partnerships during our launch this fall."

The dates and location of the Bar Poker League will be confirmed shortly.
