It's a very interesting time to be launching an Online Poker site, but I hope it goes well.
I'm assuming it will have X-sell to Gaming sites - slots, Casino, Sports Betting - as it'll be a bit of a struggle without them, the whole Online Poker business these days relies on X-Sell. As a general rule, for every £ spent on the Online Poker site, X£ (a big multiple) finds it's way across to the other Products.
'Stars used to be pure poker, of course, but those days are long gone, for better or worse, it's not really a model that works well these days.
Mr Galfond seems to have his finger on the pulse, so I'm sure it'll go well whatever the model is.
When DTD began it was pure poker, of course, but market forces & economics soon changed that. There's just not enough money in poker as a standalone, & of course earnings are capped to a degree. The market is not exactly growing fast - if at all - either.
Family all OK mate?
I've not heard that RIO will be doing casino games etc, It's never been mentioned and I don't know if that's something they have planned for the future. The main concentration for now is to get the site up and running.
As for the family, they are great thank you. All seem to be enjoying life, so that's nice.

That come back friday then get a phone call saying someone else got it is horrible
.
Just a bit. I suppose it might be better than a "false" interview when the job has already gone, but it seemed pretty cruel to me.
i wish Gill the best of luck & fingers crossed she gets a great job soon. Job interviews can be a mare, especially if you have little money to go on a wasted journey. I hate the way people are treated especially in places like the NHS where jobs are advertised but they don't tell you that they are only advertised because they have to and the reality is that they already have someone from an agency in place that has the job. Bloody annoying that especially two interviews in!

When Sky TV sold SB&G in 2015, they granted SB&G a licence to use the Sky Brand for 25 years. 22 years of that Licence remain valid.
However, it ONLY applies in Licensed/Regulated jurisdictions. Currently, 'Stars operate in around 100 markets across the globe, but only 17 of them are fully licensed & regulated. (Since the takeover was announced, everything ramped up of course as the USA changed it's stance on Online Sports Betting, so that really ups the ante).
Currently, Sky Bet & some of it's family of products operate in
3 Countries - UK/RoI
, I
taly & Germany.
The basic plan is that Sky Bet will replace the BetStars brand & run the Sports Betting operation in the licensed/regulated domains. What a great opportunity for the Sky Bet staff, could not be more exciting. It's unclear at present (to me) who will run the Sports Betting side in unlicensed/unregulated markets.
Poker? Well it's easy to guess the likely outcome, but in fact there are a lot of ways of skinning that cat, so we will have to wait & see.
Almost my biggest dread is not having a job, I adore working, so it's a bit of a worry, to put it mildly, & it's hard to imagine what use TSG might have for a septuagenarian. I'm not blind to the likely outcome for me, but you never know.
The takeover will be complete in a few months, & integration is expected to take 12 to 18 months. (I'd make that 18 to 24 at a guess).
Top of the integration list will be Sports Betting, obv, Poker won't be a priority, but at some point it will get sorted.
I was shitting a brick at first, but as more details emerged, it started to become apparent that, at worst, I'm not down the road in the next few weeks, & you never know, I may survive for a year or more. And at my age, I'm not sure it makes too much sense to worry about what may or may not happen in 6/12/18 months. I might be down the road in 2 months, or it could be 12 or 24. What will be will be. They might even come up with an option whereby Sky Poker retains it's brand & I still have a job. Or 'Stars might offer me something. Stranger things have happened, but not many....
So my original doom & gloom has been replaced by a slightly more realistic mood. I was even thinking of cancelling my Vegas trip at one point, but once the dust settled I realised that the immediacy was not round the corner. (Hope I've not bokked myself there...).
Beyond the Pale there Tikay (points for catching the reference)
Good news you're still safe for the next while anyway, hope Gill gets sorted soon (one advantage of going it alone is less interviews, although I'll need to be able to sell my services).
