Consolidation a Plus

The online casinos sportsbetting industry has grown rapidly and some suggest has grown too large to fully accommodate the sheer number of gambling and betting companies operating in the Western European gambling market. For that reason, many industry analysts are in support of the frequent acquisition and consolidation discussions between the larger competitors in the sportsbetting online casinos gambling industry. The latest speculation in the industry rumors that Bwin will once again make an acquisition offer for Sportingbet.

Bwin was in previous discussions with Sportingbet last year, but actually abruptly ended the negotiations. Several other online casinos gambling companies also suffered from lengthy negotiations only to be then abruptly ended once faced with hurdles. Negotiations over 888 and Ladbrokes were ended last year because of 888’s potential to face legal action from the United States for operating online casinos in the U.S. prior to the country’s gambling ban.

But despite the reasons that the companies ended acquisition talks, the online casinos betting industry is alight with rumors that Bwin Interactive will place a bid for Sportingbet as early as next week. There is no indication if the company will offer more than the previous 70p per share offer of last year, but the betting industry will certainly keep an eye on Bwin’s next moves. The industry could most definitely benefit from the consolidation of the smaller internet betting companies, and most analysts are looking to the Bwin deal as an indication that consolidation in the sector has begun.
