Bet Fair Online Casino to Host Poker Tournament in Singapore
6 Jul 2006
Bet Fair online casino has become the first gaming company granted permission to present a poker tournament in Singapore. It was announced this week that Bet Fair was informed that it has received the necessary authorizations in order to be allowed to host a $2 million live poker event. The online casino has banded forces with local operators Capital Events to host the unprecedented contest in November this year.
The Bet Fair Asian Poker Tour will host players from across the world who will all be vying for an anticipated $2 million prize stash. The event will be open to all levels of poker players – online casino players, land casino players, amateurs and professionals. Qualification will take place online at the Bet Fair Poker online casino site as well as at live tournaments all over the world. The competition is expected to draw much media attention as it is definitely the first of its kind in online casino industry history.
The online casino was presented with a golden opportunity of raising its profile in the Asian markets through this competition. Asia and South America are the two latest markets being targeted by the online casino industry and Bet Fair is certainly going to have a foot in the door following this potentially superb contest.
