I agree they could be betterNo doubt something around three quid being sorted outProblem is 888 are still very grey

Have to say that whilst I've been a shareholder in 888 for a long time I must admit i find the web site the worst to use. I only do sports betting not poker or other card games so can't comment on them but it is very poor compared with others.
Maybe that's why a tie up with Wm Hill would be extremely successful !!!

[jamesjoel] 13/12/2017 15:22

Exactly what I did

Hi there Peaeff my point is here as we know there are over 200 on line bookmakers casinos on line of which 75 are extremely reputable 888 being one of them and im not saying the rest are not it's a matter of dyor before signing up and making a deposit .However if other 888 customers suffer the same problems and difficulties surely they will do the same as I have done close down the account and go somewhere a little more user friendly ?

People using this thread are mostly shareholders and not punters. The fact that you have had a bad experience is not likely to deter anyone being invested here and it may be in your interests to buy a few shares. They are on the rise at present.

Does todays W Hill announcement make another bid more or less likely?

[coxsmn] 29/11/2017 18:23

Do we expect to return to profit at the next set of results?

Yeah but governments are not stupid either, they won't just reduce the bets on FOBTs to £2 overnight. They know how many people they employ and how much tax they pay.
My guess is they will initially reduce it to £50 for a year or so which will give the high st bookies time to adjust.
Wmh won't have a problem raising the amount of money they would need for an 888 t/o.
Time will tell but they don't have a great deal of it to do a deal!!!

[cheshiremoggie] 01/11/2017 10:43

I think the complexities of a t/o or a merger will be impossible to deal with until the fobt issue is sorted out. I may be wrong of course, but, for instance-Why would a bank finance WMH to raise cash for a t/o if a massive part of the business was about to go belly up. Bankers aren't that stupid.There are probably dozens of other consequences I haven't foreseen.WMH management will be concentrated on lobbying rather than a t/o.All of course imho.See you in 3 monthsCM

[oohrogerpalmer] 01/11/2017 09:38

I said £3 plus !!!! and a t/o not a merger, and no I wouldn't be happy but if somebody makes a bid & the major shareholders accept their is little you can do about it .
Just found that out with PAYS shares I own.

[cheshiremoggie] 01/11/2017 02:03

So you as an 888 shareholder would be happy to accept £3 worth of Hills shares for your 888 now before the review has finished?3 months down the line there's a massive shock announcement of the £2 option and your £3 is suddenly worth £2...Until the value of WMH is known how can you possibly arrange a merger?CM

[oohrogerpalmer] 31/10/2017 20:52

Absolutely, if the FOBT review is even ok for Wmh it will only get worse in the near future. Wmh needs to diversify quickly and 888 would be a great buy for them. Ironic but they would need to pay £3 plus which is the price they were asked for a few years back. Difference this time is that they need them or somebody similar otherwise they may not be around for long!!!

[finkie] 31/10/2017 20:27

Why, hills would buy 888 which don’t have any fobts, if there is a tightening of legislation they would want diversification anyway.

[cheshiremoggie] 31/10/2017 17:31

Cant see that there will be any deal until the FOBT issue is sorted out...

[finkie] 31/10/2017 16:26

Hills to finally get 888....feels like it now the major blocker has exited....bit of interest in both shares today although maybe FOBT news spurred hills up....i feel the announcement of an agreed deal isnt far away......

[shaker44] 27/10/2017 15:07

Thanks. Understand. Surprised that if what you know is widely known, that WEB aren't a lot higher.

[trentendboy] 27/10/2017 14:54

Yes, very risk indeed - massive revenues but tight margins. The secret is the valuable licenses that it already holds - effectively WEB is in the shop front and up for sale.

Once we get a bit more regulatory news then buyers will be prepared to take the risk.

I can see them being taken out for 3 or 4p which is still a lot higher than today's price.

Yes, WEB makes GAN look positively safe and I hae piled into both LOL but much lower amounts that my core 888 and GVC holdings

[shaker44] 27/10/2017 14:31

Trent, WEB is looks a very risky trade. Minnow in shark infested waters surely?

[trentendboy] 27/10/2017 14:02

Surprisingly muted response from 888 to the regulation news.

I wonder if someone is going on behind the scenes here.

[noujay] 27/10/2017 12:42

Take a look at GAN, plenty of impact there!

[shaker44] 27/10/2017 12:29

Thin end of the WEDGE! £££;

[rbcrbc] 27/10/2017 12:14

Pennsylvania is pretty small, I wouldn't expect any significant impact on any company.
