Online Poker Leader Announces National Poker Promotion
Published: 2006-01-25
 FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- NLOP, Inc. the leader in online
poker promotion tournaments, today announced a multi-week poker promotion in
conjunction with Casino Media Group, a multi-media gaming agency based in Las
Vegas.
Poker Creations, a wholly owned division of NLOP, Inc., will provide
online logistics for a nationwide promotion by Milwaukee's Best Light beer.
Beginning in January, Milwaukee's Best Light will offer legal drinking age
consumers the chance to be a part of the 2006 World Series of Poker through
the "Best Me" promotion.
"We have developed an application that allows sponsors to offer free
online poker to their constituencies," explained Michael Clebnik, COO of Poker
Creations. "We offer exciting online poker play, but, unlike offshore or
remote sites, we can offer contestants the opportunity to win prizes, without
gambling."
"We love the service that Poker Creations provides," said Walter
Marcinowski, vice president of CMG. "Poker Creations has maintained all of the
elements of compelling online play and combined it with a unique way for
brands to leverage. Our clients have expressed extreme interest in the poker
demographic and in offering cross-media poker promotional campaigns -- and
Poker Creations helps provide that for us."
Consumers taking part in the Milwaukee's Best Light promotion will be
directed to the brand's website (http://www.milbestlight.com) to participate
in an online Texas Hold 'em tournament and compete for seats at the World
Series of Poker. Ultimately, six grand prize winners will win trips to the
2006 World Series of Poker.
According to a recent New York Times article, there are over 65 million
poker players in the U.S. While televised poker tournaments are ubiquitous,
online legal poker playing is in its infancy. Although online poker play is
being offered for free at offshore sites, up until now, there have been little
or no prizes for winners.
