bwin.party Digital Entertainment subsidiary WPT Enterprises has struck a deal Chinese gaming company, Ourgame International Holdings Limited, for exclusive rights to the WPT brand across several Asian countries. As a result of the agreement, Ourgame has exclusive rights to use the World Poker Tour (WPT) logo and trademark in Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Korea, Nepal, Macau, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam plus non-exclusive rights in Japan. “The World Poker Tour has worked hard to expand its footprint throughout Asian territories over the last few years with much success,” Adam Pliska, President of WPT said. “A big part of this success was based on our strong working partnership with Ourgame, who established WPT National China at MGM Grand Sanya.” Frank NG, chief executive officer for Ourgame said, “The WPT's brand and global experience will be a significant asset to us as we expand overseas, and we have every confidence that we will together achieve much more success in Asia.”
