[ QUOTE ]
The real question is would empire stay on the party network after this, or become a paradise skin? [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

OTOH I can't imagine party not finding a way to fuq them for buying into the network. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how it could possibly work out for them. |

Re: The \"mystery\" bidder for Empire revealed (not who you think)
$1.5 million dollars for the email list of empire seems like a lot to pay. If a site tookover Empire would they encourage people to play at a different site or network? Why would they give up the megabucks of rake that Empire gets?
I cannot see Party allowing Empire to leave at least not with customers, but maybe Empire is just trying to raise the price that Party will pay. If Party does acquire Empire, wouldn't they eliminate the individual tracker information and stop paying affiliates like they did with Poker Now? Poker Now doesn't even have an affiliate link on its webpage any more. Would they finally check for duplicate names and make people decide which site they were part of? or would they just make it all one big Party, and combine tourneys and promotions? |
