Endorsing the Internet Poker Sites

There is scarcely a person in the world who doesn’t recognize the name Michael Phelps after this years 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Phelps competed in the Olympic swimming competitions and managed to not only take home 8 personal gold medals from the games, but he broke several personal and world records for the sports in which he competed. His events in the swimming portion of the Olympics captivated millions of viewers and many companies and online casino gambling sites were hoping to capitalize on Phleps’ current popularity through sponsorship and endorsement deals. The offers are certainly not limited to the online casino poker gambling industry but the two poker companies making an endorsement offer surprised some in the industry.

The offers from the land and online casino poker gambling companies comes as a direct result of a comment made from Phelps himself regarding poker gambling. Phelps is quoted as affirming that he enjoys playing poker as a way to relax and entertain himself. One exact quote that got the online casino poker sites in a tizzy was his off-handed remark, it “"...would be cool to play in the World Series of Poker.” Based off of that remark the Asian Poker Tour and Betfair have made offers to Phelps for his endorsement of their sites.

Most in the land and online casino poker gambling industry though assume that Phelps will go with one of the other more than 50 promotional and sponsorship offers on the table right now – but who knows. The lure of poker gambling has sucked in more than a few celebrities and Phelps could certainly do more than one as long as they didn’t conflict!
