To date, WPT has successfully aired localized productions for previous seasons in France, UK, Philippines, South Korea and Macedonia.

"TV sponsorship is an important part of our business, so having the biggest company in the poker industry jump on board is an exciting way to start international distribution of Season VII," said Steve Lipscomb, Founder and CEO.
