You know for sure that an operation dedicated to online casinos or poker gaming has hit the big time when they are able to obtain some awesome sponsorship deals. Just recently, that was found to be the case with one of the top online casino poker rooms in the business, LockPoker.com. The poker site managed to score three different impressive agreements with American casino poker players who have really been able to make their mark on the online gambling realm.

This is greatly evident by the new presence of such formidable and highly talented players as Brett Jungblut, David Zeitlin and Vinny Pahuja.

Kopp Scores Sweet Spot With Ultimate Bet

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

It is a good time to be named Billy Kopp. If you were Billy Kopp you would be wearing a dazzling smile and giving yourself a congratulatory pat on the back for being named recently to the highly formidable online poker team Team UB. This team, representing UltimateBet.com, is one of the top forces among fans of online casinos and poker rooms. Kopp joins the lineup of hugely successful professional players such as Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth.

Most fans of online casinos would give their left pinky toe in order to be in his position and he does not take this incredible success and level of recognition that he has recently attained for granted. He performed remarkably well in the most recent World Series of Poker held in the heart of Las Vegas. As a student from the University of Kentucky, he has managed to rake in more than $2.6 million over the course of only a few brief years. He has been around the scene at both online casino poker sites and at some highly competitive and visible land-based casino gambling events.

Many people who follow the casino business can now recognize his face and/or his name. That pretty much means that a player has officially “arrived” and this recent membership to the Ultimate Bet team is just one more testament to his highly respected skill in the game of poker. He is known for his loose and somewhat aggressive style of playing that he uses to intimidate his opponents from time to time. He even managed to get the best of Peter Eastgate who took home the top prize in the World Series of Poker back in 2009.

Recently the operation was able to push ahead of its rival online casinos and poker rooms by signing onto some highly lucrative sponsorship agreements.

In addition to these skillful business maneuvers, LockPoker.com managed to hire on professional casino poker player Eric Lynch who is now going to be working as the company’s Vice President of Product Development. That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.As one of the many successful online casinos and poker sites that is part of the Cake Poker Network, LockPoker.com has recently gone public with the news that players such as Joseph Brooks, Lee Childs, Mike Leah, Jason Young, Matt Stout, Kyle Bowker, David Zeitlin, Vinny Pahuja and Jonathan Jaffe have all agreed to come on board as sponsored players.

It is a very powerful marketing tool to have professional players with such solid reputations and considerable respect within the internet casino gambling industry to be attached to your brand name and your site. The value of this sort of deal is hard to measure but these recent developments are sure to end up being very positive situations for both the players who have signed on for the deal and for the people behind the scenes at LockPoker.com as well.
