NOW
IS THE TIME TO FORM A PLAYERS’
ASSOCIATION FOR THE TOP POKER PROFESSIONALS
|
|
|
Mission
|
|
Our mission is to serve the interest of
ALL poker players. But
the WPO recognizes that the best ways to serve
the interests of top
professionals is different than the ways
to serve the interests of the average poker
enthusiast.
|
|
To use a golf analogy, the top professionals need an
organization like
the PGA Tour and the average poker
player needs an organization
like the USGA.
|
|
The WPO
Association of Professional Poker Players (APPP)
is our Professional Membership Division.

Goals – Professional Membership
|
-
Help
professional poker players organize so they
have a voice in shaping the future of their
profession
-
Structure
the organization so the players control every
aspect of the association
-
Assist
the players in establishing their own Tour of
tournaments sanctioned by their association
-
Promote
the players and their Tour to the public
-
Assure
the members are compensated whenever someone
uses their name, image or presence.
|
|
It’s
a Matter of Principle
|
|
The poker “boom” has created new
relationships.
Viewers want to watch the best players,
companies want to advertise to those viewers
and networks want to sell advertising to those
companies.
|
|
The CORE VALUE
of this new business model is created
exclusively by the TOP PLAYERS.
|
|
But presently, players are not fairly compensated
for their value...

| NOW
IS THE TIME TO FORM A MEMBERSHIP
ORGANIZATION FOR ALL POKER PLAYERS |
|
|
|
Archery, baseball, basketball, bowling, bridge,
chess, football, fencing, golf, hockey,
karate, horse racing, polo, racquetball, skiing, soccer, swimming,
scrabble, tennis, volleyball, wrestling, and
more….. |
|
What do all of the above sports and games have in
common? |
|
They all have an organization that governs their
sport or game and is recognized by the
competitors to be the official authority. |
|
Now
that poker has moved from the back room to the
front page, it is time for poker to join that
list. |
|
The
World PokerPlayers Organization (WPO) is
designed to serve first and foremost ALL poker
players. The
WPO has a secondary division of the
organization, the WPO Association of
Professional Poker Players that is designed
specifically to serve the unique interest of the
top professional player.
But the primary organization, the World
PokerPlayers Organization, is designed to
provide services that meet the needs and
interests of ALL players worldwide.

It’s hard
to believe that poker doesn’t have an
association for the players. I applaud
the WPO for taking the initiative to get this
done.

We need to organize. And the World Poker
Players Organization is the right group at the
right time.
