The real question is would empire stay on the party network after this, or become a paradise skin?

It's hard for me to understand how Empire could become a Paradise skin. I think much of the value of the Empire business is the relationship with Party. What percentage of the player volume would actually follow Empire over to Paradise? How much of Empire's precious affiliate network would hold together?

In other words, is it really worth 800M pounds to make Empire into a Paradise skin?

But so far SportingBet has impressed me as incompetent in their handling of Paradise. So even if it is a bad idea it could happen anyway.

I'm not sure if internet poker is a very difficult business for consultant types to understand, or if it's hard for a niche community like twoplustwo to have the perspective to understand what factors really drive site traffic.
