As an international entertainment company, The World Poker Store, Inc. started membership sales this week for its upscale Chinese entertainment club, Palace, in many cities in China. Initial amounts of VIP memberships are now available with levels of benefits and prices including a premium Life Time membership offered for peanuts—about $140,000. Considering the success of such membership sales at other exclusive Chinese clubs, The World Poker Store believes the prestige status will spur sales for Palace as well. With scheduled openings in Loudi later this year and in Sanya on Hainan Island next year, members will enjoy VIP status at both venues as well as at all future Palace locations. Members can also compete with international Bar Poker League members in the US and Europe through free live Texas hold 'em tournaments and a point system found on theworldpokerstore.com.

Recent developments in Europe for the league include a launch in Germany with a team tour in October. Support of a poker TV show in Holland is also in the works through use of league systems and tournaments. With nearly 200,000 potential TV poker participants, the league will organize tournaments for the show’s third season and the company’s efforts to launch the league in other European countries is strong as well.

The World Poker Store is rapidly expanding The Bar Poker League and proprietary Player Card system through legal, licensed agreements and sponsorships all over the world including the US, throughout Europe, and new forays into China with considerable focus on upscale, membership-based, entertainment clubs that all mimic the great Las Vegas-style entertainment. Hold 'em tournaments and VIP amenities are given.

The World Poker store also gains strength and credibility through the benefit and support of its board of world-class players including Marcel Luske, Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan, Patrik Antonius, Hoyt Corkins and Liz Lieu.
