There has been a lot going on here at PokerNews HQ in the past few weeks. We're very excited about the new relationships we've formed and the tremendous opportunities that will come from them. In addition, PokerNews is always open to discuss any and all opportunities available.

"We're extremely excited about all the recent PokerNews activity, and we welcome anyone interested in doing business with us," said PokerNews creator Tony Guoga.

PokerNews Merges with Bluff Australasia

PokerNews (Australia, Asia, and Pacific) has merged with Bluff Australasia to meld together the region's two dominant poker media brands. With this merger, Bluff Australasia will no longer be published. The magazine will continue, however, under the PokerNews (Australia, Asia, and Pacific) name. Australia's leading poker website, PokerNetwork, will be operated by the merged magazine as well.

“We are delighted to be working with Sean and Stephen,” said Damon Rasheed, Chief Consultant for PokerNews. “Joining forces will enable us to take our magazine to the next level, by using their considerable expertise, which will benefit all poker fans and advertisers in the region.”

PokerNews (Australia, Asia, and Pacific) will be published bi-monthly with plans for monthly distribution and Asian-language editions to begin in early 2010.

PokerNews Partners with Ante Up Magazine

Just this week, PokerNews announced their partnership with Ante Up Magazine.

Ante Up is a monthly magazine distributed throughout Florida card rooms. It focuses primarily on the Florida poker scene. Ante Up also produces a weekly award winning podcast that is available on iTunes.

"We're all very excited about this new partnership with Ante Up, and we think it can be a very mutually beneficial relationship,” said PokerNews Editor-in-Chief Matthew Parvis. “They have a great foundation of regional poker coverage, on top of an outstanding podcast and we think that working together will only bring about positive changes for both of our audiences."

The partnership aims to increase Ante Up's online presence and expand the PokerNews brand even further into the southern region of the United States.
