    Latest mega-merger: Flutter and Stars

    Flutter (the renamed Paddy Power Betfair) is merging with Stars Group (owners of Pokerstars, FullTilt, Sky Betting & Gaming).

    Lots of private live tables contained in amongst that lot!

    Technically it's an all-share acquisition. However structured, the end result will be the biggest online gambling company in the world, valued at just under €11 billion.

    PokerStars for one have been noticeably quiet on the new table front for several months.

    Currently 22 tables open including a Casino Hold'em and 2x roulette;

    And could eventually all be contained in the same studio. Given the recent announcement that Betfair & Paddy Power will soon carry Evolution live games, it looks likely that that studio would be an Evolution Gaming one.

    The proposed mega-merger between Flutter and Stars Group is to be investigated by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority.


    Should the deal gain all necessary approvals, including this newest hurdle Flutter previously have said they hope to complete the deal during the second or third quarter of 2020.

    (moved today’s previous post LD as it was more related to your comment above regarding the announcement of Evolution to supply Betfair soon rather than Betfair in US market)

    There is too much of a concurence on PokerStars. I guess that's why it becomes quite.

    “quiet” & “quite” have different meanings in English, but I guess that’s not your main raison d'être RedSon.


    But by way of some partial explanation to PokerStars' relative quiet period I was referring to above. They are now carrying Playtech live dealer games in addition to their big private area at Evolution Gaming (albeit most tables are closed in the current virus lockdown period).
