Too modern for me Shaun, I’m a dinosaur 😂

[oneillshaun] 12/4/2018 10:19

busterdog2 - no i did mean sick. SICK = good

[largeronald] 12/4/2018 09:41

Pazzuzu - as rivaldo said, not considered material enough for an RNS or to affect the share price If it were, Ory couldn't have bought his 40k shares 9 days ago.

[busterdog2] 12/4/2018 09:14

I guess you meant slick not sick Shaun?

[oneillshaun] 12/4/2018 08:58

whichbingo.co.uk is a sick domain has loads of traffic and does very well but bingo players are low value much lower than sports/casino or poker so which we now own a lovely domain I dont expect huge revenue from it but on the other hand XL media are very good at buy sites taking control of them and selling the traffic at a might higher price.

Love this cheeky little add on more like this please.

Little more industry news from the affiliate side of the business at Cherry:

Because the acquisition is evidently not material enough to qualify as an RNS. And XLM don't want to dilute the importance of further, larger acquisitions which are likely coming soon. And because companies which announce every deal and contract going, even when it's unnecessary, soon get a bad reputation for self-promotion and hype.

Patience. Wait for the bounce. And keep the posting/moaning to a minimum :o))

I just don't get why when the share price is deflated so badly he would not seize upon this to provide some good news to shareholders. Why

Good spot sdtreble. Whichbingo looks like a high quality acquisition of its type given this:



"Founded in 2000 by Phil Fraser, WhichBingo is the longest running and most respected independent online bingo reviews website.

The original WhichBingo.com website was aimed at the US audience, but in 2003 the focus shifted to the growing UK market with the launch of WhichBingo.co.uk.

Since then the site has gone from strength to strength, winning numerous industry awards over the years, including ‘Best Online Bingo Portal’ in 2008 & 2009, ‘Best Gaming Community’ in 2012 and ‘Best Bingo Affiliate’ in 2015 & 2016.

In addition to the awards won ourselves, we are proud hosts of the annual WhichBingo Awards – widely recognised as the most prestigious player voted awards in the online bingo industry. We also publish the annual WhichBingo Report, which is a unique collection of independent research covering all aspects of the UK bingo market.

WhichBingo.co.uk is well known for being the first for new online bingo sites and for being the only site that reviews every single brand in the UK (over 450 of them!). We also pride ourselves in publishing thousands of real player reviews – both positive and negative, alongside our own reviews."

Update 11/04/18: As well as WhichBingo(.co.uk), the deal also includes Bingo(.org.uk), BingoWorld(.co.uk) and QueBingo(.com), as well as all of WhichBingo Ltd's affiliate accounts. Transfer of ownership for all affiliate accounts will commence Monday 16th April to XL Media Publishing.I assume no RNS due to small size of the deal, or news could have been leaked early by seller with RNS to follow

[pazzuzu] 11/4/2018 19:31

Why no rns?

Xlmedia aquires Whichbingohttps://onlinebingo.co.uk/news/whichbingo-sold-to-xl-media

[busterdog2] 11/4/2018 15:57

Seems to have bottomed out?

[pazzuzu] 11/4/2018 14:43

Yeah but how much of a discount, this seems excessive to me

[panic investor] 11/4/2018 14:37

We we never get a full value for an Israeli company - logic really

[gargleblaster] 11/4/2018 14:34

Addendum - riv has made the point before that they could shut up shop and the recurring income would still be enough to run the whole show. This brings us back to why top line projections are not higher - very little incremental income is projected, over and above the recurring income.Perhaps this is a conservative outlook, and they will outperform when it comes to updates/results, but in the meantime it explains the share price weakness.

[pazzuzu] 11/4/2018 14:29

I agree with your reasons as to why the share price is down buy don't really agree with management, I will speak more highly of Ory if he got a fair value for this share, it's been undervalued for sometime and that failing I park at Ory's feet.

[gargleblaster] 11/4/2018 14:23

I think the recent problem with the share price has been the lack of projected top-line growth, and this has led to the fall in the per. At this stage it has come down to a trust of management - what are they going to do with the cash raise - what are future plans? Perhaps best to give them the benefit of the doubt as performance to date has been good.There has been director buying, but the actual overall ownership percetages are low.

[pazzuzu] 11/4/2018 12:59

Seems to be holding up in the face of heavy selling some how

bling advertising standards
The Gambling Commission has welcomed tightened advertising standards which focus on adverts appealing to problem gamblers and on free bets and bonuses.

The new standards, announced by the Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP) today and enforced by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), will:

restrict ads that create an inappropriate sense of urgency like those including “Bet Now!” offers during live events
curb trivialisation of gambling (eg encouraging repetitive play)
prevent approaches that give an irresponsible perception of the risk or control (eg “Risk Free Deposit Bonus”)
provide greater detail on problem gambling behaviours and associated behaviours indicators that should not be portrayed, even indirectly
prevent undue emphasis on money-motives for gambling
provide more detail on vulnerable groups like problem gamblers that marketers need to work to protect.
Further clarification surrounding terms and conditions for free bets and bonus offers has also been published. CAP has outlined that significant conditions must always be prominently displayed, with other terms and conditions being at most only one click away. This complements a joint programme of work with the Gambling Commission and Competition and Markets Authority to ensure terms and conditions for promotions are fair and transparent for consumers.

Ian Angus, Gambling Commission Programme Director, said: “The new advertising standards set clear expectations for the gambling industry. Gambling firms must not advertise in a way that could encourage problem gambling behaviour. Consumers must be able to make informed choices about how and when they gamble and not feel pressured into making decisions that could cause them harm.

“We expect gambling businesses to review the new guidance now and adjust any marketing and advertising accordingly. We support any enforcement activity by the ASA against operators who do not comply, and will not hesitate to take our own action against those who do not take their responsibilities seriously.”

The Gambling Commission has today fined an online gambling operator for repeatedly misleading consumers with adverts relating to free bonuses.

CAP’s new standards will come into effect on 2 April 2018.

Malcomm - please share the "new gambling and privacy regulations being talked about in the media"???

[malcolmmm] 09/4/2018 17:00

The market has perhaps priced in new gambling and privacy regulations being talked about in the media which I doubt will effect XLM or TAP for that mater. I don't own TAP shares

[pshevlin] 09/4/2018 16:27

As I said "any excuse"

[igoe104] 09/4/2018 16:05

Or the queen has broke wind ?????

You really get to hear some really poor excusers why a stock or the general market is down .
