17 percent of profits but fat bank account helps

The fine is unlikely to effect the interim results as they would have been formulated before the amount of fine was imposed. They may well decide that it can be paid for by reducing the extra dividend, in which case it will hardly notice as far as company accounts are concerned. AIMO

I think the market is smart enough to assess the company based on ongoing business performance. Note 888 has $172m of cash or cash equivalents when they last reported so it won't effect the balance sheet much.

Seems as though geographical expansion is working well, and the company may well become the subject of a bid from one of the more traditional players in the market.

With the cloud over the company seemingly lifted, I may open a position here...

One off hit for sure. Longer term? Not necessarily

888 profits will take a hit with the fine.

The "fine" news sinking in (bad news but good publicity ironically).

Now those stalking 888 will be readying themselves for a TO approach and similarly, 888 might be looking at a major aquisition to keep themselves independent - but who is left?

An Hills or LADS deal is just not something that I could imagine. GVC more likely or one of the other independents.

Hopefully next week's figures will give another strong boost to the share price

Nice bonus. Should really be on and up from here.Hmmm, tempting to really stack up now

888 just promoted to ftse250. That won't do any harm

[trentendboy] 31/8/2017 09:11

Uncertainty over - was coming in to buy more on the grounds that is now over with.

Big fine but could be worse.

Now all of those predators that have been sitting and watching and launch their attacks

Back to £3 before the results on the 5th?

That's what they have just been fined for. Its over.

All the best

[peaeff] 31/8/2017 08:29

Well at least the clouds have now been lifted and with the early spike in the share price it would appear that the markets feel they got away lightly. Interesting to see now just how far this goes before settling down.

Big fines coming as announced on the BBC, 7000 accounts not protected with the no gamble option ticked.

Action taken against 888

[shayadfn] 24/8/2017 06:10

I've been adding this over the last two weeks, also added to my gvc holding.

[trentendboy] 23/8/2017 11:02

With gvc pulling out of the LADS deal you wonder who will come into their sights888 off highs, summer recess I suspect means autumn actionThey need to buy or be bought.Something has to give

[davr0s] 11/8/2017 08:26

That's me out :(

Oh and party have just launched the first of a series of changes to their on-line product - which was a bit naff



Looks like they are putting some serious effort into Poker

[rbcrbc] 08/8/2017 12:34

I don't think the HUDS issue is much known about outside the regular pro players. Most of whom play on stars or the smaller softer sites.

pokerscout apparently shows partypoker closing the gap on 888 (according to a poster on GVC), party have had excellent feedback to their new live events.

But poker isn't the major factor in either company.

[davr0s] 08/8/2017 10:13

Noise IMO at the moment as long as it doesn't make a lower low in the coming days

[shaker44] 08/8/2017 09:42

Share price has reversed its uptrend.
Due to HUDS issues outlined above? Or something else? Not much sales volume reported...
