"By partnering with the WPT brand, we are creating anchor games for our DishGAMES service on Dish Network and our Play Per Day offering on Bell Express Vu. PixelPlay plans to utilize its worldwide exclusive ITV license with the WPT on operators around the world."

"This continues the World Poker Tour's successful track record of providing our poker fans with new and innovative ways to enjoy poker."
The licensing relationship between PixelPlay and WPT is managed by Brandgenuity LLC, WPT's strategic product licensing and merchandising agency of record. According to Louis Drogin, the agency's Managing Director: "Interactive TV is the new frontier and the perfect platform to extend the WPT experience into homes around the world."
In addition to WPTE, PixelPlay has established licensing agreements with many of the world's leading brands ranging from notable family entertainment to classic arcade games, with the goal of providing unmatched content to the burgeoning casual game and "edutainment" markets on the interactive television platforms.
