WPT Allows Sponsor Logos

he World Poker Tour has finally decided to settle the long-simmering issue of player logos on WPT broadcasts.

Beginning with the Borgota Poker Open, players will be allowed to wear sponsorship logos in the preliminary and final table rounds of WPT broadcasts.

There had been much uproar in the past from the players regarding the WPT policy to not allow players to earn sponsorship monies and, thus, alleviate the stresses of world class, high priced tournament poker. It was the contract signed between WPT and the Travel Channel that prevented the players from wearing their sponsorships.

It seems now all has been settled and the players will be permitted to wear logos that fall in line with the standards set forth by the WPT rules.

It was an issue that has threatened to disrupt play on many of the televised WPT events. With this decision, the WPT and the Travel Channel have extended the olive branch to the players and play can now commence unhindered by the threat of a serious player boycott or other fiasco that could affect tournament poker today.
