Empire Poker Sues PartyGaming
November 26, 2005
Talks
ended in an attempt for PartyGaming
(who runs
Party Poker) to take over
Empire Poker, who has now
decided to file a lawsuit against
their former parent platform. Empire
Online has suffered major losses
after PartyGaming's decision to
upgrade their software last month
and stop allowing
Empire Poker and other skin's
player base to share their network.
Their lawsuit is for damages
suffered as a result of this action.
PartyGaming tried to take over
Empire Poker at their lowest
stock price on the London Stock
Exchange of 60 pence/share. This
comes 2 months after Empire's stock
topped out at 283 pence/share.
Empire has been tanking since the
PartyGaming decision. This move
comes a month after additions of
MultiPoker and InterTopsPoker from
PartyGaming. The internet's largest
poker platform seems prepared to end
its positive relationship with skins
and instead dissolve them into their
monolith of a corporation. While I
support any decision that might take
business away from rakeback
establishments, I don't like to see
the PartyGaming conglomerate take
autonomy away from niche poker sites
that are enjoyed by legitimate
players.
