partypoker and bwin merge
 

First PayPal goes back into gambling
Gambling Bill passes round 1
Party Poker and bwin have merged

Both companies are publicly traded and are well worth over $1 billion each. Party Poker has a new office in California preparing for the big jump back into the US market.

both bwin and pp are reputable companies in the gaming world. Should be a good match.

Wow that's a huge merger.

So are Bwin players going to be merged to the PP net work?

H.R. 2267 has a provision that does not allow bettors use credit cards on the site but there will be other ways you could fund an account. Pokers Stars, Full Tilt Poker et al will not be licensed in the USA unless UIGEA is repealed as it specifically states that they can't be licensed as they let US players play on their sites after UIGEA went into effect.

Pp and bwin fail in us. House looking to repeal uigea already and voted this week in it. Sports gambling still illegal.

The US is but 1 market...clearly PP and Bwin are looking to dominate the rest.

PP is fucked up for me, Pokerstars and titanpoker are better, and for bets, i use others

pokerstars and fulltilt will both go for a license if it's regulated in the US

Yep!
PokerStars will not be able to get a license under those rules so PP is going to be BIG.
BUY PP shares NOW and send 10% of your profit to me in 2012 :)

If I had $50K that I could invest I would buy PP shares. 2-4 years investment it will be a nice profit. If it hadn't been for the clause in the law saying that sites not complying with the 2006 law can not get a license to operate in the US market then I would have said PP is dying and I would not invest 1 cent BUT if PS can not get US players and PP can because of the law saying companies not following the 2006 law then PS is finished and PP is going to go back to the good old days where I withdrew $5K a month a month in winnings :D

interesting to see if they can or would exclude fulltilt or pokerstars because they take credit cards and were taking US players the last 4 years. If PP can't take credit cards then they're fucked too but will still make $

How soon will we know if things have passed where I can easily play poker again? It's such a PITA these days.

I'm banned on PartyPoker and doing great on BWin.

Now what? :Oh crap
