The chairman of the Swedish Poker Federation and the head of the World Poker Association came to agreement at the beginning of June and announced their partnership shortly thereafter. The Swedish Poker federation oversees the poker clubs and players that make up the game in Sweden, safeguarding their rights and representing their interests in that country.
The World Poker Association is also looking to make a significant impact on the poker community during the World Series of Poker later this month. The WPA will have two booths set up, one during the five-day Lifestyle Show and the other in the hall by the playing area that will last through the duration of the World Series. Membership applications will be available as well as customized WPA styled giveaways. These methods will convey the message, which the World Poker Association is trying to send.
