Default ticker symbols for online gaming?

Since I know a lot of you are watching the price of gaming stocks falter I thought I would ask here. What are the ticker symbols and how they are traded in the US? ADRs? what are the symbols? thanks.

CRYP (Cryptologic) trades on the nasdaq, but as kevmath said, most of the publically traded online gaming companies are on the London exchange.

Yah I understand that. ADRs are typically how foreign stocks are traded on US Exchanges. ADR = American Depository Receipts, basically the bank in a foreign country owns the stock and you in turn own a piece of paper that says you own the stock that the bank holds for you in that foreign country.

I know it sounds confusing but you would be surprised how many people own ADRs ( and they dont even know it) of companies that dont trade here on the NYSE or AMEX for example. Curious if anyone knows where I can pull up these ADR symbols because it makes it easier to trade them. Thanks.

ADRs feely trade on the US exchanges... there are no ADRs for the online poker stocks...

There is a similar system in place to trade Party on the Pink Sheets... but I highly recommend staying away from it...

Anyone seriously interested in trading these stocks should open an account with an online broker that will allow you to trade stocks on foreign exchanges... there are a few.
