Paypoint Share Discussion Threads

Correct and if that happened it could have a very serious impact on Paypoint since retailers will not want to give space to two terminals. In that situation you can be sure that it won't be Camelots Lottery terminal that gets chucked out !

Qip, the concern is that if the Lottery Commission allows Camelot to use their terminals for bill payments, then the UK Paypoint business will suffer significantly.

thanks, pillion.

I am interested in Pay as I knew it was a good company
will keep and eye on it

Qip
One reason is that it is at the mercy of professional gamblers who are shorting this stock -- I've posted a link earlier

No company news to suggest any trading downturn

Some chartists think it may go all the way to £2

I don't hold this stock and I never sell short

hope this helps

as always do your own research

why pay keep falling?

Hmm, I was waiting for £3 but now that we are here I am not so sure!
I guess that until we get a verdict from the competition commision about the lottery providing pay services these guys will be under serious pressure.
I do believe that there is a good market to be served here but only with a level playing field.
I will contine to keep an eye on this in the short term.

I doubt they'd have enough brass for a bank, not even a teeny weeny tiny one

Visa and Mastercard are both working on systems that will allow cardholders to top-up accounts at all their outlets. With all the pre-pay cards out there now surely Camelot is the least of paypoint's worries?

The advantage of this company though is it does seem entrepreneurial and opportunistic I am sure there will be new opportunities for it perhaps a Paypoint bank?

Is it feasible that Ontario Teachers could make a bid for PAY ?

DT's comment Branching out into bill payments will mean delays at the tills, lottery players being turned away... comes across as feeble

ok, first bit of good news on this subject

FT - 10/4/10:

Setback for lottery operator's expansion plan

Camelot, the National Lottery operator, which is planning to use its lottery terminals to offer customers extra over-the-counter services such as bill payments and mobile phone top-ups, yesterday denied it had overplayed support from the Post Office for the scheme.

The operator, which is in the process of being sold to the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan for £389m, is awaiting a verdict from the National Lottery Commission, the regulator, on whether it will amend the lottery licence to allow Camelot to use its terminals for the sale of other services.

Camelot had told the commission that several partners had been lined up to provide the service, including the Post Office. But on Thursday, the commission published on its website a clarification from Camelot, saying there was no contractual relationship with the Post Office........

A market including Camelot represents a significant problem for PayPoint, an Aim-listed bill payments company whose share price has fallen steeply over the uncertainty. Dominic Taylor, chief executive, said: "Branching out into bill payments will mean delays at the tills, lottery players being turned away, further Post Office closures and less money for good causes."

Mr O
Pity it's being shorted though ?

[mr.oz] 08/4/2010 07:42

PE ratio less than 9 , yield 5.5% (couple of months to divi)

[pillion] 06/4/2010 17:09

Volsung
Yes, I got CNA and UU. from them last autumn, both doing well and paying a divi

Pity about PAY [not holding btw] which seems a good investment, though I feel more marketing wouldn't go amiss

[volsung] 06/4/2010 11:32

Interesting site pillion

[pillion] 01/4/2010 12:56

Paypoint shorted !!



Elsewhere, we highlight Paypoint as a bear because prices are eroding.............

[mr.oz] 24/3/2010 17:24

they have some issues with Camelot trying to muscle in but there is good reason that such a move would be disallowed under competetion rules

[pillion] 24/3/2010 17:15

This appears to be a good business idea but not well marketed to the general public

[mr.oz] 11/3/2010 19:35
