my fave hop shut friday. been there since before i was born

90% passed to the customer and they still call it a tax on operators. its a tax on us with extra steps
 
worth understanding what the exemptions tell you,because they're more informative than the headline.

horse racing stays at 15%. self service terminals inside a licensed shop stay at 15% because they aren't classed as remote. Bingo duty was 10% and has been abolished outright. Casino floor duty bands are frozen.

rvery one of those carve outs protects something with a constituency. racing has one. retail has one. online slots don't. that's not an accident, that's the shape of the lobbying.
 
so what happens to wh after then, does it become an american company or wha..

been with them eleven years and i don't fancy the whole thing getting sold on again in two years to someone else
 
@wagerwinner bally's intralot is athens based, formed when intralot bought bally's international interactive last year. bally's corporation are the majority holder so theres american money behind it but the entity isn't american
on the sold on again point, their CEO said publicly there's no plan to break it up and the deal was done with the whole group in mind. he also left the door open by saying an unusually high offer could be considered. draw from that what you like
the numbers that matter. 52p a share, 77% premium on where evoke was trading before the approach in april. sounds generous until you know the share price is down 90% since they bought william hill for 2.2 BILLION four years ago. that's not a takeover that's a rescue
 
@chapman a change of ownership doesn't touch customer balances. licence obligations and segregated funds requirements sit with the operating company and that doesn't disappear in a share transaction. your forty quid and your bet next weekend are fine either way. so the real thing I'd actually keep an eye on is what happens to the loyalty and pricing side once integration starts. that's where you notice a new owner, not on day one
 
what's annoying is people keep saying just go ffshore then. i've looked. no gamstop, no complaints process and if they decide not to pay you thats the end of it. that's not a choice rather worse version of the same problem
id rather have the boring regulated one with the rubbish bonuses honestly
