Party buys Multipoker - Intertops becomes affiliate
Party Poker is buying Multipoker. From Bloomberg:
"PartyGaming Agrees to Buy MultiPoker to Control `Skin' Partner 2005-11-11 03:26 (New York) By Paul Jarvis Nov. 11 (Bloomberg) -- PartyGaming Plc, the owner of the PartyPoker Web site, agreed to buy MultiPoker for $14.5 million to gain ownership of one of its four marketing partners. Arrangements with two of the company's other so-called ``skin'' partners, IntertopsPoker.com and Coral Eurobet, are ending, PartyGaming said today in a Regulatory News Service statement. Coral is leaving the PartyGaming platform, while IntertopsPoker will become an affiliate of PartyPoker, it said. Gibraltar-based PartyGaming last week said it may buy Empire Online Ltd., the fourth of the ``skins,'' after excluding all four of its partners from its upgraded poker platform. --Editor: Weeks." |

Re: Party buys Multipoker - Intertops becomes affiliate
When is this effective? This might allow you-know-what for people who already have MP accounts with certain affiliates...
This is great news. |

The chances of this are 1%. Party will end those old agreements like it did with PokerNow.

Party is applying the "Golden Rule of Business":
"He, who holds the gold, makes the rules". |

Re: Party buys Multipoker - Intertops becomes affiliate
this is getting really bad. we dont need party monopolizing the poker industry, we need for the smaller sites to merge together to create competition instead. im really glad that eurobet is merging with pokerroom and im really hoping that partys offer on empire falls through and they merge with a smaller site as well.

Re: Party buys Multipoker - Intertops becomes affiliate
To be honest, I don't care what happens -- I'm just gonna hang tight until everything shakes out. I have RB at Empire, Euro, and Intertops, and in my mind it's worthless at this point. Of course, I'm still a 1/2 bonus whore. My tune might change if I ever get up to 3/6 or 5/10.
