Despite the impending devaluation of the creditworthiness of nine countries in the euro zone, the British stock index has risen. Also rising is the one on the London Stock Exchange registered bwin share. Reason: the impending sale of the Ongame poker department and payment of the liquidator CQR will bring over 100 million €.
Since mid-December, the rumor holds that Europe’s biggest betting provider bwin and the online players separates from its Ongame poker Department. The Anglo-Austrian bookmaker makes it the next important step in the merger, the brought together by bwin and PartyPoker. Important in this respect is probably only the integration of bwinPlayers in database PartyPoker. The remaining rooms on the Ongame Network, as well as the payment processor CQR other hand, are for sale.
Analysts on the London Stock Exchange have now spoken for the first time in detail about the success chances of the sale of two corporate departments. It opinions differed greatly. Paul Leyland, an analyst at Investec, an internationally active banking group, for example, showed extremely skeptical that the sale could have some positive effect for bwin. 1st: The whole sales process was not feasible before 2013. 2nd: Both parts of business are not necessarily very significant. 3rd: the revenue potential for the buyer are assigned a high risk. And 4: both the online gaming payment system as well as the poker of Rome itself would face the challenge of moving into a legally-regulated environment. Where it is not clear what consequences this will have for the general business field.
Other voices sound as positive. The sale of the Bwin Poker Ongame network and the payment system CQR could bring the company 110 million euros (75 million for the Ongame poker division). This would, according to the company insider Michael Campbell, the net sales of 250 million euros last year by 43% increase to 360 million euros in 2012.
A positive effect had the news on every event on the bwin share. Which rose by 1.4 pence to a value of 164 pence.
Anyway seems 2012 will be an important year for bwin. The company has applied for licenses for the Spanish and Danish markets and wants to get into position in GermanyIf the necessary arrangements should be made. But even more exciting is the development in the U.S. market. Earlier this year, bwin shares had first made a strong leap upwardsThan through the redesign of a U.S. law, the first way for the legalization of the U.S. online gambling market had been cleared.
