To promote and provide poker tournament venues for women poker players seeking opportunities to challenge other women in comfortable, friendly, and yet competitive environments.
LIPS is a collaborative effort between the Ladies International Poker Series and Casinos. This collaboration features women in poker by providing a "Middle Buy-In" venue for ladies to play. The target market is the woman who has been playing for a while and wants a bigger challenge. This is an excellent way for your casino to show the world that you support of women in poker!
This is our sixth season!
Over 8,000 women have played in our
tour since we started and there are
new women coming into the sport all
the time. A carefully crafted ladies
poker program can be a fabulous
addition to your poker room!
Tournament Design: Casino partners provide a minimum of a one-day tournament for women poker players. The tournament is No Limit Hold Em with a $100 to $500 Buy-In + Fees ($10 per player is paid to LIPS Tour for advertising and administrative expenses) We have discovered that conducting Single Table Satellite tournaments prior to the main event is highly successful for higher numbers in the main event.
Prize Packages: Your tournament winner represents your casino at
yhe LIPS Tour Grand Championship event in June in Las Vegas.
The prize packages are taken from the tournament prize pool to cover the event. If for some reason your casino is restricted from doing so, we make the first place percentage "heavy" to cover the package.
- The LIPS Tour Grand Championship
prize package is only $230 for a seat
in the tournament so it's affordable
and doesn't take a lot away from a
prize pool. (LIPS Tour will handle the
registering your winner for the LIPS Championship)
LIPS will provide a
certificate for the winner as well as
promotional Items. We create special commemorative poker chips,
pot sweeteners to LIPS lapel pins. Additionally, we provide a simple brochure/flyer covering the LIPS Tour schedule.
Casino Partners are included in all LIPS Tour advertising campaigns. To be promoted in print publications, internet advertising, and at LIPS Tour Events. We will provide your marketing department with LIPS Tour logos, etc, for use in your usual tournament promotions.
What does LIPS Tour need from you?
- Host a one day tournament, $100 to $500 plus fees ($10 per player paid to LIPS Tour)
- Conduct single table satellites the morning of the event.
- Promote your ladies event as you would any special tournament event.
- Withhold $230 from the prize pool, or your casino can host the package as an add on...
it's your choice.
- Provide the winner with casino gear they can wear to
yhe LIPS Tour Championship event.
- Provide complimentary accommodations for two nights for the LIPS Tour Representative. (Usually the day before and the day of the event)
This is an exciting venture! Time for women in poker to step up and be counted! We hope you will join us in support of new and upcoming women poker players around the world!
Online casino partners are unique to the tour! Given the beauty of being able to host tournament satellites 24 hours a day, the amount of winners you can send is limitless! Here are a few suggestions:
- Sponsor a $750 Freeroll for the seat at the LIPS Tour Grand Championship. ($230 to the LIPS account for seat
and the balance to the player for airfare, etc.) This will drive all the ladies to the site, get them all signed up and then hold the satellite tournaments for the seat for several Ladies events.
- Conduct online mini-satellites into a Main Event. One Main Event for the LIPS Tour Grand Championship and the other for one of the several Ladies Events we host.
- The LIPS Tour Main Event needs to generate a prize pool of $750 and the prize pool. Depending on the amount of participants, you possibly can send more than one winner to these events! NOTE: Online prize packages are higher given the participant may require airfare from anywhere in the world.
- All winners will represent your casino at these events.
- The Mini satellites are $10 + $1 ($1 for the Main Event Buy In and $1 is the fee) No Limit Holdem Tournaments
- The Main Event is a $100 + $10 for the monthly event.
- An online account will be created for LIPS Tour for prize money collection. LIPS Tour will handle the entry fees into the tournaments for the LIPS Championship.
- Casino gear provided to winners to
wear at the LIPS Grand Championship
event
NOTE: Online tournaments are conducted by password. Through advertising to your players and our tour members, we make sure the players (and Men) realize that they will not win cash in their accounts from the tournament. The money is placed into a LIPS Tour account and after the arrangements are made, they receive the balance back to them in their accounts. The beauty is men won't play because they have to show up to represent your casino AS A WOMAN!
