Sponsorship Confrontation

Poker News and the UltimateBet.com online casino poker gambling site are in a bit of a stand-off over Tiffany Michelle, the only woman poker player to place in this year’s World Series of Poker event. The issue comes down to the fact that Poker News feels slighted after Michelle signed a sponsorship deal with Ultimate Bet just a few days into the Main Event of the WSOP without consulting with the news portal. While the sponsorship deal with the Ultimate Bet online casino poker gambling site would normally fall outside of Poker News’ realm of influence, Poker News was Michelle’s primary sponsor throughout the majority of the WSOP events.

Michelle, a U.S. land and online casino poker gambler from California, has gained prominence in the international poker gambling scene and has slowly risen into the realm of a prominent poker professional. Poker News is fairly outraged by the company’s specific exclusion from the negotiations and sponsorship deal and the Vice President at Poker News, Justin Robert Huxley, remarked, “As an organization we felt completely sabotaged by Tiffany, her agent and Ultimate Bet.”

It is not entirely uncommon for online casino poker gamblers to have multiple sponsorship deals in place, however it usually operates with open disclosure between the poker gambling companies, news portals, and any other sponsors. Huxley believes that Michelle and her agent specifically exploited loopholes in her contract to facilitate the deal with Ultimate Bet. With Michelle’s career on the rise, Huxley expressed disappointment that the young poker professional showed a “lack of respect and professionalism” through last week’s actions.
