Default Get it sorted



Are our politicians going to sort out this mess caused by one man's opportunism aided by others who live in a apple-pie world.

Partgaming founder sells shares - report


So dik's buddy sold 4% of the company, leaving him with 3%, for a 50 mil sterling profit, despite the company losing so much of its value. I guess he doesn't like their future prospects. Of course maybe he's blown so much at the roulette tables in Monte Carlo, that he needed some extra of the ready.

Don't get me wrong!

I'm sure if Party were not listed or didn't have other considerations (staying sweet with the UK govt and the EU, possibly expanding in the far east) they would still offer a service to US customers. The good thing about the FT and PS numbers (see below) is that it shows the contempt the average player has for this stupid, unfair and descriminatory law, and that they will be playing until only if life is made too difficult for them. The more severe the restrictions the less reputable the sites that will remain. The PRESENT effect of the law brings the US politicians and law into disrupute. If the law when fully applied remains as ineffective, this will continue, along with the missed opportunity to tax the companies who would gladly fall into line. From a purely personal perspective as a PP shareholder, there's some danger of Party's non-US customer base being poached but that's a less important factor than the long term right for freedom to spend (or make) your money as you wish, in a legal framework.

I recommend removing or changing the background on your site. It makes the content unreadable.
