CryptoLogic to Power WPT Online Poker Site

After unsuccessfully struggling to launch their own online poker site, the World Poker Tour (WPT) has announced that it has signed a 3 year deal with CryptoLogic to license its platform for the WPT’s online gaming site.

“Liquidity is a big deal in this business,” said Steven Lipscomb, President, Founder and CEO of WPTE. “CryptoLogic has proven itself to be an industry leader that delivers a superior product. This deal ensures that starting with day one of our online gaming re-launch there will be a plethora of cash games and tournament offerings available for our customers on a stable and proven platform. We will launch with a look and feel unique to World Poker Tour and will work with WagerLogic to incorporate additional WPT features that will begin to redefine and distinguish our product and customer experience.”

Like all CryptoLogic licensees, the new WPT site (scheduled to launch in June) will not be open to US players, per the restrictions enacted by the UIGEA in October.
