Poker Royalty, the gambler management group that is based in Las Vegas and that is represents a lot of the top poker players all over the world, declared about opening it’s office in London. It will be the first Poker Royalty’s office outside the USA. Brian Balsbaugh, CEO and founder of the company hopes that the new office will promote growth in Europe and Asia and assist to control its international client base.

Jim Erwood will be assumed as a Director of European Operations for Poker Royalty. Prior to this position Erwood worked as a FIFA licensed football agent representing and marketing football notables and negotiating player contracts. Owing to Jim Poker Royalty got a European perspective on the poker industry and firm experience working on card-player sponsorship deals and trading support.

The company was founded by Brian Balsbaugh in 2003. He said that in the last years we had observed thumping growth of poker events and programms in Asia, Europe and South America. He also expressed an opinion that we consider Las Vegas to be the main city of the poker in vain because there is no gainsaying that poker is a world-wide game and international opportunities today are available to the most talented players throught the world today have international opportunities available to them. This days when they open their office in London they should capitalize on those chances and serve their clients as better as possible.

Poker Royalty has a great deal of clients including such prominent poker players as Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Patrik Antonius and Scotty Nguyen.

Jim Erwood said that he was excited at the opportunity and that Poker Royalty had all chances to be a global company. He added that he expected to replicate in Europe the same that had been built in the United States.

It is Erwood in Poker Royalty who will increase the international card-player representation division and secure new business development occasions for existing clients of Poker Royalty in Europe through chief media, sponsorship, licensing and commercial support.
