ABOUT US The Australian Poker Tour is an exciting new group in the Australian poker industry. Finding a niche placement within the market, the APT provides smaller poker leagues and associations with an opportunity to funnel in their “regular” players into a larger field event offering a greater prize pool than they could ever offer. Currently competition is extremely vigorous, with larger poker organizations offering more, so we believe that this has been a highly successful driver not only in relation to provide the large numbers we have experienced at our events, but also has increased patronage at these smaller venues, giving them the impotence to build their own respective businesses. The Australian Poker Tour has grabbed the imagination of poker player public along the east coast of Australia as we expand our product across the country nationally. Starting in October 2017, we have now held five events up and down the eastern seaboard in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sydney. With our highly active social media platforms and representations throughout multiple league operators, the APT’s reach is quite large as we aim to become a truly national product as we expand to the other states. With Perth and Melbourne on the itinerary soon, our product can showcase your business on a truly national scale. To give you an idea of our reach our last event in the Gold Coast attracted nearly 2,500 entries, had a series prize pool over $368,000 and had over 87,000 views on Face book alone. The Australian Poker Tour is consistently looking for event sponsors, based on an event by event model, but as we grow, we are looking for continuing partnerships with major sponsorships on an annual basis. The following proposal offers various options for event sponsorship, but we can also provide an arrangement for an annual proposal, if you so wish. We believe with our flexibility and commitment to providing Australia’s best live poker entertainment product, your business will be promoted not only nationally but with the personal care and attention it deserves.

THE FACTS The Australian Poker Tour was born at the Acacia Ridge Hotel in October 2017. Offering a $50,000 guaranteed Main Event, it captured the imagination of all, by welcoming everyone from home games, poker leagues, affiliates, to the aspiring poker player and the professional. That is what we are about, we have something for facets of this great game. Since then our growth has been exponential with our first “official season� in 2018 facilitating nearly 10,000 entries and amassing over a $1,000,000 in prize money. Currently in our 2019 Season 2, we have already awarded over $1.1 million dollars, with over 6000 tournament entries to date. And we are only half way through the calendar year.
HOW DO WE DO IT? By offering a dynamic program of tournament events held over a 3 or 4 day period, we aim to flood our series with a multitude of players, playing in a wide and varied price range of events. We achieve a large volume of people attending and participating in these games, ensuring maximum capacity and increased retail opportunities for our hosting venue, through sales of food and beverage, accommodation and gaming.
EXPOSURE Utilizing contemporary means of the digital form, we promote and advertise our events via social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, combined with our web based service. This gives us an instant release platform to promote to our player database. When the event is taking place, we use a live streaming option available on these platforms to extend the viewing experience beyond or live set into the digital mainstream.
REACH When we host a series we amass a large viewing audience digitally with live updates and streaming of events via social media based services. Increased web-based traffic peaks in excess of 100,000 views for the length our series of poker events. With channels using Facebook Live and TwitchTV, gives sponsors an opportunity to reach a world wide audience.
