“Our network of live tours and events touches tens of thousands of live poker players on five continents each year, and we’re pleased that each one of them will have the opportunity to touch and play with Copag cards,” said Jeffrey Haas, Managing Director of GPTL. “Having high quality cards in play is essential to creating a great player experience, and we’re proud to be working with Copag.”

Marta Mateus, International Business Director of Copag, echoed those sentiments, saying: “We are very proud of this strong partnership and glad for the opportunity to have our playing cards in the most important poker events worldwide. When we started working on the international market years ago we dreamed of an opportunity like this. The quality of our products and service to our customers has enabled us to achieve this great partnership.”
