WILLIAM HILL will unveil a recommended £486 million ($754 million) takeover of Sportingbet today after hammering out a retention deal with the management of the online bookmaker's Australian division.

The group, which is bidding jointly with GVC Holdings, had hoped to finalise terms by Tuesday's deadline set by the Takeover Panel but was forced to seek an extension until tomorrow to tie in Michael Sullivan, head of Sportingbet Australia, and his top team


Date: Tuesday 16 Oct 2012

LONDON (ShareCast) - Online gaming firm GVC has requested a temporary suspension of trading today following the agreement of a revised and increased possible offer by GVC and William Hill for Sportingbet.

Trading has been suspended because historic financial information in relation to the parts of the Sportingbet's business which may be acquired by GVC has yet to be extracted from Sportingbet's consolidated accounts, GVC explained a in company statement.

It added that talks are at a preliminary stage and there can be no certainty that they will be concluded successfully.

A buy in Shares today - GVC's winning formula.

Online gambling provider GVC is to step up efforts in Latin America to capitalise on one of its biggest ever revenue opportunities the FIFA World Cup Football tournament in Brazil next summer. GVC claims to have the two biggest online sports betting brands in Latin America, Sportingbet, and Betboo.
Helping its preparatory work is news (25 Sept) that the restructuring of Sportingbet assets, acquired in March, is going better than expected. Chief executive officer Kenneth Alexander reckons the work will be done ahead of schedule, likely by year end. That leads GVC to say full year earnings will beat market expectations.

Ex/div 11/10/13, paid quarterly. A lot going for it. Great chart.

A buy in IC today as well - GVC


GVC Holdings PLC (GVC:LSE)

(GVC) has always been at the riskier end of the online gaming market with a range of exposure to countries where the laws regulating the market are less than clear. The possibility of a sudden cessation in service is one reason why the gaming company has traditionally traded at huge discounts to the rest of the sector, with a dividend yield that has touched heights of over 20 per cent at certain points during the past few years. Risk, as any good gambler knows, is dependent on probabilities and, while it is true that GVC is never likely to be a widows and orphans share, the operational improvements the company has made since its acquisition of the rump of Sportingbet has opened up an interesting speculative opportunity.


Investors will be most interested in GVC's sector-beating dividend payout. This amounts to 75 per cent of its net profits and there are few companies on the market that can offer a projected yield of 9 per cent without questions arising over its prospects. It would be a pity to overlook GVC's income on that basis, but it might be advisable to diversify the shares alongside more traditional regulated bookmakers in order to leaven out the speculative risk. Buy.

You are still doing well to what people gave for them when they went tits up so Gl.

Thanks 3m, any of yours coming right yet?

Only OPAY and that is up and down like a fiddlers elbow but at least in profit now. Nothing else 52% down overall in everything. Could take some profit out of opay but just sitting on the fence at the moment. I just think all gamers are going to fly in the not too distant future. GL

Lets hope they do. Off for a weeks break tomorrow . Be looking in but not posting.

Trading Update



GVC Holdings PLC (AIM:GVC), a leading provider of services to the online gaming industry, notes the recent announcements made by a number of its peers in the sports betting industry on the matter of recent unfavourable sports results.



The Group's trading has held up extremely well in the first two months of Q4 2013, reinforcing the success of GVC's integration of the Sportingbet business. The sports margin was 8.2% (Q3 2013: 9.4%) despite the "punter-friendly" nature of a number of sports events.



In the first two months of Q4 2013, average wagers per day rose to €4 million per day, up 23% on the prior quarter (Q3 2013 - €3.3 million) and up 12% on October and November in 2012, on a like-for-like basis. Despite the reduction in sports margin percentage, average daily Net Gaming Revenue ("NGR") in the first two months of Q4-2013 rose by 4% to €536k per day from €516k per day in Q3 2013.



The Board of GVC therefore expects the Group's full year results to be at the upper end of analyst's current expectations. The Group anticipates that it will provide a further trading update on Q4 2013 as well as a dividend declaration on Thursday 9 January 2014.
