Market clearly starting to see beyond the derisory offer?

[nurdin] 01/8/2017 12:43

This is getting interesting now.Highest level I have seen since the offer..

johnv I agree and I actually think this "possible bid" is holding the share price back. The Trading Update is eagerly awaited and I hope that it propels us on our way into the £6+ region. I don't see anything much happening until 8th August.
What an impatient bunch we all are, but we have been here a long while and been through many ups and downs, it has been something of a rollercoaster ride on times.

[johnv] 01/8/2017 09:54

Even without the possible bid at 590, we would have got to this price by now

[eh9] 01/8/2017 09:46

Must be possible worldpay decides to buy paysafe and turn down vantiv

[aspex] 01/8/2017 08:13

No glass ceiling evident from the possible bid price.They will not be able to come back with a 590 bid.

[eh9] 01/8/2017 07:31

Worldpay extension well flagged. They are agreeing location of hq and whether there should be a London listing retained. Nothing to do with quality of worldpay

[togglebrush] 01/8/2017 07:29

Worldpay-Vanitiv deal due to conclude today NOW extended for a week to decide

[edjge2] 01/8/2017 07:06

Here is the thing we will get out of asia ( not just china) and all of a sudden it will be respectable, approved by govt, fee income will go through the roof and someone else will make a killing !!! Cos thats how HF like to treat PAYS investors - bend over and dont complain !

Of course PAYS could just as easy split itself in two Co A = EMEA and Americas and Co B = Asian Gateway. Give existing owners parri-passu ownership in new Co's and those who want to hold do and those that want to sell have option. Co A in the meantime would get re rated as the business of Co B wpuld be am entierly seperate legal structure.

Isn't that more or less the same as the US set up?

[mip55] 31/7/2017 22:39

Filmster I don't think there's any need to apologise as that's a pretty good summary of what's going on in China. Our Asia Gateway business with Bet 365 relies on individual gamblers using Virtual Private Networks to hide their ISP addresses from the State while they place their bets, which are, as you say, illegal in mainland China. The so called 'Great Firewall' which the Chinese Govt. is strengthening is going to greatly curtail the use of these individual VPN's ....in fact Apple have just recently withdrawn sixty VPN's from the China App Store as they no longer meet proposed Chinese Govt approval.Now it seems is a good time for PAYS to get out of of the Asian Gateway for whatever we can get for it!

[filmster] 31/7/2017 21:20

It is all legal but rather unethical from what i read. Online gambling is illegal in mainland china. Bet365 runs online gambling websites in china and often changes the sites names to stop them getting shut down. This isn't illegal as bet365 isn't based in china so has no jurisdiction there but it is illegal for the Chinese customers to play on these sites they provide. This is why asian gateway is holding our share price down. This is just an opinion and info from what I've read please correct me if its completely wrong and apologise now if i am.

[ralphmalph] 31/7/2017 20:51

@zcaprd7 - The constant rumours are that the PAYS asian gateway facilitates illegal gambling in China and the Chinese Govt are going to get nasty against PAYS. This is what the So called Spotlight Research highlighted. PAYS denies it and says all is above board and legal.

[pshevlin] 31/7/2017 20:44

Thank Ralph.I'm ordering it.

[lomax99] 31/7/2017 18:59

Not sure anyone actually wants to..... However it is being suggested that it is holding back our overall rating, with the inference being that someone will just buy us on the cheap, sell it off (probably to a connected party), and benefit from a general re-rating.

[zcaprd7] 31/7/2017 18:28

Can anyone tell me why we should sell the far eastern element? Apparently, China's mobile payment market is 50 times that of America's...

[ralphmalph] 31/7/2017 17:29

I take it and I rate it as well worth the quids per year. It's tips have made me 100's of K

[pshevlin] 31/7/2017 17:11

Just as a matter of interest, does anyone on here take the Momentum Investor? I'm thinking of it to add to my SCSW.

[pshevlin] 31/7/2017 17:10

Yes, it's getting a bit boring on here with all this waiting.

[oohrogerpalmer] 31/7/2017 16:58

libertine -
If we didn't speculate this board would be empty , plus it gives us something to do whilst we are waiting for the next step !!!

Paysafecard enters UAE
6 hours ago | 1419 views | 0 Source: Paysafe
paysafecard, a global leader in online prepaid payment methods and part of Paysafe Group plc, enters the United Arab Emirates, offering a secure and fast prepaid payment solution that will not require bank or credit card details.

The UAE continues to embrace technology innovation in line with its government's 'Smart Dubai' initiative to transform Dubai into the world's smartest city. With Samsung, Apple and many other international technology companies taking advantage of the governments initiative and support, digital payment systems have become a key area of focus which made moving into the UAE a logical step for paysafecard.

The UAE are ranked ninth in gross national product per capita when adjusted for purchasing power, placing it above countries such as Switzerland[1]. Internet usage is also at more than 93%[2], almost 65% of the 5.8 million-strong population use mobile broadband internet[3]. Cash affinity is still very high and credit card penetration is rather low.

“The UAE is an ideal market for our business expansion given the GNP, Internet usage, demographics and low credit card usage. Being able to offer paysafecard in the UAE brings great value for the customers because it allows them to use their preferred payment method (cash) to pay online quickly and safely as well as for local brick-and-mortar shops. By offering an established prepaid payment method such as Paysafe’s paysafecard a bridge is created between e-commerce and the brick-and-mortar shops. By selling paysafecard, shops can not only generate new customers, increase customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, but they can also earn money in what is a classic e-commerce process. In addition, customer traffic increases because paysafecard users are regular customers for the most part,” comments Udo Müller, CEO, paysafecard.

The prepaid specialists are making their start in the UAE in cooperation with sales partner uPay, which will offer the payment method at 300 vending machines. Currently, paysafecard is already available in the emerging MENA region; in both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

"We are proud to bring paysafecard to the UAE and providing a leading prepaid payment method to the internet users of our country. In doing so, we fill a gap that for many people here was a real obstacle to using the opportunities of the internet when it comes to convenient and safe payments. We look forward to a successful cooperation that will benefit all parties involved." comments Mr. Timur Turpalov from uPay.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate all the input on here. I have a bit invested but don't have time to do as much research as I'd like so find it all very helpful in pointing me in the right direction and improving my knowledge and I'm sure many others would agree with me. I wish I could add some input but my knowledge is found wanting when reading all your posts. So thanks all. Much appreciated.
