Bwin and PartyGaming Merger Talks Confirmed

by Admin 27. January 2010 12:37

Market Value of Combined Online Gambling Companies Would Surpass $4 Billion.

Austrian online gambling leader, bwin owns of Bwin Poker, and leading European online casino and poker site PartyGaming owners of PartyPoker, are indeed in talks regarding a possible merger, several news sources have recently confirmed.

The talks are, so far, just talks, and no guarantee of a combination that would create a gigantic online gambling company worth than $4 billion. Bwin executives have admitted to but downplayed the story. For its part, PartyGaming admitted the rumors were true, but also stated that it’s in such talks with “a number of companies”.

Though the companies downplay the rumors, they’ve persisted for some time now, and many in the industry are taking them seriously. The merger would completely transform the online gambling industry, especially in Europe.

"Europes online gambling market is the world’s largest, at $8.7 billion in 2009," write Zoe Schneeweiss and Jonathan Browning at Bloomberg.com. "No European gambling operator currently has a dominant position. Among publicly listed operators, Bwin has the largest European market share by revenue with 8 percent, followed by PartyGaming with 6.3 percent and William Hill Plc, the UKs second largest bookmaker, with 4.5 percent, according to Barclays Capital."

Both companies saw a significant share rise after the news was confirmed late last week. In related news, PartyGaming’s founder has agreed to sell off the last of his ownership stakes in the company, amounting to about £114 million in value.

If I were to create a website that sold items in the style of gambling, do you think this would be illegal? I don't see how there could be any laws online since the website isn't only one country.

Online gambling is illegal in some countries. However, in others, it's regulated. You may or may not have to apply for special permits and so on. I don't exactly know what you mean by you selling items "in the style of gambling". It's too ambiguous.

Such webmasters try to use articles from free content directories to get visitors to their internet site and make some money. This is mostly important for those who have only begun working as an affiliate for several companies and do not even have any financing, yet need to improve small niche websites to visitants to their site so that they can start making revenue.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?  Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.  But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.  Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.  Maybe you could space it out better?
