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!

Over 8,000 women have played in our tour in the past three years!

LIPS Tour Seeks Casino Hosts to Provide Ladies Tournaments to Promote Women in Poker: A niche just beginning to blossom!

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.

Something Special: We ask casino hosts to provide something special for participants. Perhaps some food, promotional items, etc. Makes the ladies feel quite special!

Prize Packages: Your tournament winner represents your casino at two events! The LIPS Tour Grand Championship event in July in Las Vegas, and the Women's Poker Hall of Fame Tournament in January also in Las Vegas, Nevada. $1,300 from 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 valued at $500 for a seat in the tournament and a champion's dinner and ceremony. (LIPS Tour will handle the entry fees for your winner for the LIPS Championship from the $500 portion of the prize package.)
• The Women's Poker Hall of Fame Tournament is $ 550 buy-in, and the package will include the exclusive induction luncheon and tournament. This event is held at Binion's Casino in Las Vegas where the Women's Poker Hall of Fame is housed.

LIPS Tour will provide a LIPS Champion's Bracelet, and Promotional Items: LIPS Tour provides a special LIPS bracelet any lady would be proud to wear. We also have promotional items varying from special commemorative poker chips 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 $1300 from the prize pool, or your casino can host the package as an add on... casino choice.
• Provide the winner with casino gear they can wear to both the LIPS Tour Championship event & WiPHOF 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!

** Some casinos have opted only to host a LIPS Tour Championship seat. This is up to the casino's discretion.

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 $1,000 Freeroll for the seat at the LIPS Tour Grand Championship. ($500 to the LIPS account for seat and champion's dinner and $500 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 $1,000 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.
• 50% of the administrative fee collected is paid to LIPS Tour for advertising and administrative expenses. 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 or WiPHOF event.
• Casino gear provided to winners to wear at the LIPS Grand Championship event and the WiPHOF 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!
