OK.

A few questions:

Will there be APAT branded card backs online?

Will there be Tighty SNG available at all levels of buy-in?

Will someone tell B&SW Meetup they are now a wholly owned subsidiary of APAT and thus no longer able to enter the Forum Team Event?

Can we have little APAT medal icons to indicate our status online (like the PS stars)?

Matt, is the APAT logo now going to feature a strapline including the word "Donk"?  ;)

Give me a minute or two to come up with some others.....

Just want to say how pleased I am to be back in an official role with APAT, and it comes at a really exciting time for all members, old and new.

A big welcome to Matt Dale, who brings with him a wealth of poker industry experience to ensure that we are able to offer all members the same level of APAT experience with the new card room as we have with all previous APAT events.

Should be an interesting next few months as everything comes together, but you can get the software downloaded right now through the banner either at the top of this thread or on the homepage, and we"ll be confirming details of satellites and direct buyins for future events in the coming days.

More Questions..........

What will happen with the "added value seats"for the winners of live events. Will APAT be covering these with the revenue from the poker site (obviously PS and Genting wont sponsor if theres no comitment to their own sites) and will they still be to the likes of UKIPT/GPS?

And Des, will there be a Aspers APAT Live Poker/Casino club in Swansea coming SOON?  ;)

ah this explains some mysteries!

excellent news for APAT I think - Des, Leigh and Matt will make a fantastic team and I can only see things for APAT getting bigger and better from here in on.  Hope Tighty stays involved too, albeit not as a shareholder, as he has been the face of APAT pretty much since inception.

Best of luck guys - onwards and upwards!

APAT didn"t acquire the domain name; which had a value of several hundred thousand pounds alone.  We will be launching our own APAT branded poker room in November.  In addition we will be closing the poker.co.uk website on July 14th.

There will be an element of both initially.  For example we"ve announced an agreement with Genting for the UK events in November and we"ll be fully supportive of their product for those events, where they hold exclusive rights for satellites, direct buy ins etc.

We will also absolutely be supporting tours like UKIPT and GPS with our seat awards.  We know our members like to play them and as long as they remain aspirational, we"ll give you guys what you want.

Not initially.  Mobile is on the development roadmap and we"ll be getting into the finer detail of that in the coming weeks and months.

However I can state this is a much improved product with some good functionality and a technical partner in Gtech who have plans to develop it a lot further.

That said, we didn"t have the budget to acquire PokerStars and we hope you guys will bear that in mind!  ;)
