AUTHOR: Jerry "Jet" Whittaker TITLE: Online Poker Firm Sees Shirt Deal a Flop DATE: 2:56 AM ----- BODY:
Tottenham Hotspur received a major financial fillip this past summer with the news of a four-year £34million shirt sponsorship deal with online gambling firm, Mansion Poker. Mansion.com (see website here) which is endorsed by Sports911.com, has admitted the campaign was a complete failure. Mansion denied an eGaming Review Magazine that they will be cutting back on their sports betting arm in favor of focusing more closely on both its internet and offline casino interests. The company, in fact, has gotten even more aggressive with its promotions. Mansion Poker has introduced the very first opportunity for its players to play for a guaranteed $100,000 in a tournament every day of the week, every week this month! The inaugural tournament took place earlier today, UK time, at 03.00GMT and resulted in the $100,000 prize pool offering a massive $52,690 overlay! This was fought over by under 500 players, giving everyone who played a realistic chance of cashing in what was effectively a huge cash giveaway.
