Why Won the Bets Clear
Betbrokers is in a sticky situation this month now that the company’s
share-listing on the London AiM has been suspended. The move was pretty out of
the blue for many in the online casino gambling industry. Although Betbrokers
has not been in the best financial position in the last month or so (which was
certainly reflected in the company’s drop in share prices this past June), the
company still felt it was in a strong position within the betting industry and
was actively seeking enough funding to clear some of the larger wagers that were
coming through the company.
Because of the way that the online casino gambling and betting industries work,
the betting and gambling companies have to have enough funds on hand to cover
all of the bets that are placed through the site. In the recent months the
amount of money in the company’s clearing house was not sufficient to cover some
of the larger bets that gamblers were looking to place – that has resulted in a
lack of faith in Betbrokers itself and the entire situation has slowly slid down
the tubes over the past several weeks.
The CEO of Betbrokers has been anxious to note publically that the company is
still working on raising the average size of the average deal placed through
Betbrokers. The specifics on what just went wrong this week are due to one of
Betbrokers subsidiaries being placed on administration. This means that trading
of Betbrokers plc is suspended until the situation is corrected. |
