No longer active anywhere. GG looked pretty soft when I trialed the $5/10/15 tournaments for a while (+14% net ROI, grinding 6 to 8 a night). Retirement from the game is less profitable but far less stressful 🤪 Hoping to do a little trip 'up ta-north' at some point in the summer, will try to meet up with a few people, if only for lunch. Likewise for the south-coast contingent. Bart 👋

MGM Resorts have made an $11bn (£8.1bn) offer for Entain, the former GVC Holdings, which itself picked up PartyPoker in recent years. Entain owns the Ladbrokes, PartyPoker, Bwin, Eurobet, Coral, Gala poker brands together with Foxy Bingo. Just the latest in attempts from Bricks & Mortar casinos to get a foothold in the online gaming sphere, heightened by the impact Covid has had on their core business. I personally don't foresee any immediate concern for players/members, if approved which is far from guaranteed, MGM would likely run pretty much as is, other than the usual rebranding & consolidation of existing brands. Just my opinion, but posted to raise awareness amongst members. Entain have stated the bid is too low, so may be one that rumbles on for a while.
