We Swear, It's a Sweepstakes

U.S. online casino poker gambling enthusiasts were certainly excited earlier this year with the announcement that the World Poker Tour brand launched a program in the U.S. that allows Americans to gamble through the internet for real and cash prizes every month. The U.S.’s highly controversial Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UGIEA) forced many foreign online casinos and poker companies to exit the market because of the fear of prosecution by the U.S. government. ClubWPT though circumvents the restrictions on internet poker by using a sweepstakes format and monthly subscription fee.

Online casino poker gambling enthusiasts are signing up for the service in droves because of the site’s ease of use and quality selection of poker games and live tournaments. The key to the whole process is that players are able to use the site’s point system to gamble and play poker through the site, but they will never have to pay more than the $19.95 monthly subscription fee. Participating in the site’s tournaments and games means that players are eligible for the site’s huge monthly $100,000 prize pool cash and other impressive prizes.

Many American online casino poker players were left high and dry by the controversial UIGEA, but for ClubWPT, the site certainly found a lucrative way to take advantage of a niche market of gamers that needed a new gaming format that circumvented federal regulations.

In additional exciting news for the ClubWPT brand, the company announced a new deal with Fox TV. The new partnership will see the WPT poker tournaments from all over the world hosted through Fox.
