Los Angeles, CA (June 14, 2018) – World Poker Tour® today announced a licensing partnership with b spot, a revolutionary real-money mobile gaming platform. The partnership will see the two sides work closely to integrate the excitement and entertainment of the WPT® into b spot’s unique game platform and introduce WPT fans to b spot’s US gaming community.
A licensed mobile and online game company, b spot allows users in the US to wager and win real money, with a casino-like experience. b spot is authorized to conduct online horse wagering pursuant to state licenses and the federal Interstate Horseracing Act. The mobile games on b spot’s platform are linked with live horse racing and each wager placed on one of b spot’s mobile games uses the outcome of horse-races to determine the user’s winnings inside the games. The horse-racing element and technology is performed behind the scenes, allowing for an entertaining state-of-the-art user interface for the consumer. Scheduled for release later this year, WPT-branded apps and games will be created in connection with the b spot platform, allowing for an enhanced real-money gaming experience.
“The WPT’s partnership with b spot allows the World Poker Tour to be at the forefront of this new dimension in the gaming industry,” Adam Pliska, CEO of the World Poker Tour, said. “The injection of the World Poker Tour to the b spot platform will greatly heighten the experience of the US gaming community and introduce millions of new users to b spot’s brilliant product offering. We’re confident that our millions of fans will enjoy playing a variety of WPT-themed games for real money through this unique relationship with b spot.”
“We are tremendously excited to be working with the World Poker Tour,” David Marshall, CEO of b spot, said. “The World Poker Tour has been a pioneering brand in our industry and a global authority that continues to elevate the entertainment value of poker and gaming to new levels. In partnership with b spot, the WPT will now be able to leverage the legal mobile gaming platform that b spot has created and further expand the WPT community’s ability to play games for real money and have fun doing so.”
