WPT's gaming site moves to CryptoLogic

Software developer CryptoLogic and WPT Enterprises Inc. (WPTE), announced a three-year contract to bring the World Poker Tour’s (WPT) gaming site — for the international market only; not the USA — to the CryptoLogic gaming network. The agreement, entered into with CryptoLogic’s wholly-owned subsidiary, WagerLogic Limited, will provide CryptoLogic’s poker software with a unique WPT look and feel to WorldPokerTour.com customers. The new WPT poker room is set to launch in June 2007.

“Liquidity is a big deal in this business,” said Steven Lipscomb, WPTE’s CEO. “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.”

None of WagerLogic’s licensees serve US-based players.
