The World Series of Poker announced recently that they have signed an agreement with XP Events, a "multi-dimensional consumer products company," to distribute WSOP merchandise during the Series and over the next few years - both on site and away at various retail locations. With this agreement XP Events is now the official branded-merchandise provider for the WSOP.

Shoppers unable to make it to Vegas this summer will now also be able to buy official WSOP products at shopwsop.com, which has been relaunched this week under the management of XP Events.

The WSOP is in good company. XP Events is highly respected and represents many prestigious professional teams and events, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Phoenix Suns, Le Tour de France, the Charlotte Bobcats and The Presidents Cup, just to name a few. Shoppers for WSOP merchandise can now feel assured that they are getting quality products, thanks to this new year multi year partnership.
