It looks like this time there's going to be an all-out war between partypoker and PokerStars in the form of Twitch sponsorship.
In the previous years it was PokerStars that was ultimately the dominant poker website on Twitch due to the fact that they sponsored most of the prominent Twitch streamers.

Poker stars cuts down again on expenses If business runs as the want to, why they should do all this in the first place. Party poker on the other hand gets a chance for more exposure, trying to reach a higher level in advertising. Keep the competition between them running. Good for the players after all

Well lately I see a lot of partypoker participate in various things and news of new things almost always ... although sometimes the news is not very good but it is what I think is like everything is not always good news ... and so I see the place taken to pokerstars in terms of sponsorship hahaha xd is good what is there
the war between PartyPoker and Pokerstars? ... It's pretty funny ... I would like the result of this war to be a lot of action in these poker rooms ... to attract players ... then it is a war for the good of the players ... it would be great ... I really hope that there will be such a result of this aggravation of interests of poker rooms

I've already said in some threads about Party Poker has good marketing strategies and their decisions will make this poker room to climb a lot. Pokerstars has very bad decisions and i really do not understand what's going on there. Stars group is looking to go bankrupt because they do nothing good there. It's incredible how much the number of players has dropped out there.

This does look exciting and well done to Party Poker on sponsoring this venture. Bill Perkins has become a real big player in the poker world and i have always enjoyed watching him whenever he is playing on tv

And we see that party keeps investing here, in the broadcasting section. They are after more exposure, and of course internet is the way to go. As the time goes, everyone is get hooked to it more and more. And it might be a cheap option for them also, compared to other methods of advertisement.

It is good to let others also do it and I do not know what advantages or winnings to have with this but as pokerstars now put almost all the tournaments to pay and almost none for free I call it wrong, which means that I am already wanting to leave it and start somewhere else

I read some small information about bill perkins- interesting life he has, makes so much money from hedge fund management also play very big stakes poker, has private yeacht private plane.. dream of many people
Again, I really don't think twitch is a smart choice to include in the future of pokermarketing, mainly because the userbase (especially the ones who are getting twitch subscription as part of their Amazon prime deal) are really full with people from the United States where neither jokerstars nor party could really do business as of right noiw.

Smart or not , like i have previously said here, this might be a very cheap option for them. Compared to the return they might get why not. Not that they spent millions in some sports team, to put their name on. Sponsoring a couple of players in twitch, must be practically free for them.

To be a sponsor is very good. Advertising is a thing that brings fame and any company knows this. Possibility to earn money it makes you to get money out of your pocket, to pay for this and after that to earn more money after advertising. In this way both camps are happy.
