Online poker sites team up with sports teams and leagues for added advertising. The online poker rooms can get their name out to more people as different sports are followed by thousands to millions of people. The most recent poker room to partner with a sports team is UltimateBet now known as UB.
UB recently signed a sponsorship agreement with the Calgary Flames, a team on the Canadian National Hockey League. UB will be integrating tickets to the Flames events in their poker games as well as other promotional activities.
UB's logo will appear on dual rinkboards at the home arena of the Flames. Fans were able to see the new logo on the ice when the Flames faced the Toronto Maple Leafs this past weekend. The Flames will be playing eight home games in the month of January so to celebrate UB will be giving U.S. and Canada players a chance to win one of four pairs of tickets to attend the NHL game between the Flames and the Ottawa Senators on March 11th.
UB will be hosting eight daily satellites and the top 100 players from each qualifier will win a seat to a Sunday Main Event. The satellites will take place every Sunday through Saturday during January at three hour intervals from six am to midnight. Each Main Event will award the winner with a top prize of two tickets to the game as well as $1,000 for travel expenses.
During one of the eight home games one lucky fan will be able to win a pair of tickets to sit in the Luxury hospitality suite at the Flames Versus Senators game. The winner will go against a pre-recorded Phil Hellmuth in a hockey trivia game of Truth or Bluff and if the challenger can win the tickets will be theirs.
