Bluff Europe and PokerStars are currently working on a date and venue for the fourth annual British Poker Awards, which is expected to be a glittering evening packed with some of the biggest names in poker.
Despite corporate backing, the awards will retain the impartiality and democratic voting system of previous years, say the organisers.
Nominees are chosen by a committee comprised of an independent group of poker journalists, including Jesse May and representatives from PokerNews.com and PokerStrategy.com, as well as Bluff Europe, and then put to online public vote. PokerNews.com and PokerStrategy.com are official BPA media partners.
“PokerStars are committed to promoting poker when and wherever possible and that’s why I think this was a perfect fit for them,” said Bluff Europe’s Michael Caselli.
“Sponsorship means that we can produce an event that’s bigger and better than ever, while retaining the impartiality of the British Poker Awards. That was very important to PokerStars when they came on board and it’s very important to us too.”
