If the cardroom is going to be PartyPoker branded how will this affect the '£1m' events namely UKPC and UKIPT going forward? I would imagine the partners for these events may find it a bit awkward playing it in a PartyPoker branded venue (or will they?)
I have no idea what the position with UKIPT will be.
To the best of my current knowledge, it will not affect the Sky Poker UKPC.
I'm not in a position to be a spokesperson for either Company, but as far as I am aware, nothing has changed as to possible future Events @ DTD, & negotiations for the August Event are well advanced (but not finalised) already.
The Club is currently plastered with Sky Poker Branding, & has been for 2 months, & this will remain in place until after the February renewal.
Sky Poker have been aware for some time of various options DTD were considering, including the Party option, & Rob Yong of DTD met with Sky Poker to discuss these options recently.
Party have their own "Live" brand - WPT - & this does not clash with UKPC as far as I am aware.
DTD will be running Satellites to the February Sky Poker UKPC on Party Poker, which suggests both parties are comfortable.
Prior to this deal, DTD Online were part of I-Poker, & that never prevented the Sky Poker UKPC taking place.
I am not aware of any reasons that the partnership between DTD & Sky Poker will not continue. That's not an "Official" statement, just what I am aware of.
