2012 Review of the Online Gambling Industry by Calvin Ayre
LONDON, December 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
In a year that saw, among others, Calvin Ayre indicted, and Norbet Teufelberger have
his 2nd 'meeting' with European police forces, the Bodog founder has tested his
predictions for 2012 against the reality of another tumultuous year in online gaming.
Calvin's main assertion that in this industry being a private company over a listed
one was played out so strongly that behind closed doors you'd find it almost impossible to
find a CEO who disagrees. The constant bickering between William Hill and Playtech, PWin
and Betfair's withdrawal from core markets are a few of the more obvious examples.
On the flipside you see private companies like PokerStars and Bet365 who are
continuing their rise and rise. However, The Rank Group trumped it all by just coming out
and saying they want to delist: No charge guys, smart move. Once private - head east, Asia
is still the promised land!
