Up nearlly 15% today and I beleive there could be more to come.

Evil Knievil has tipped it on EvilCast and has bought in 100,000 worth of stock a notifiable interest. He rates the management very highly and says they are attracting all the big bookmakers to the online casino site including punters the likes of William Hill, Chandler, and Ladbrokes. The company are now running at a profit every month and should break into a yearly profit from the years previous loss very soon. The company also ownes in partnership with a Swiss firm Boss another casino site and by all accounts that is doing well.

Im looking at this one as a momentum play pretty high risk as there are competitors out there but I feel the management will give it the edge.

Please DYOR, and remember you are responsible for your own buying and selling actions.

cheers GF.

Know what you mean JT. Still over the year the rise has been massive, just a pity I wasn't it at 3p.

MS

Nice to see Shares mag confirming the rumour about the deal with T-Mobile.

yeah.....am quite hopefull of some kind of profit being announced....as their Interim loss was quite small.....and from their trading statements everything seemed to exceed expectations.

Interesting that IG Index have moved their spread on GMC up 0.5p.

If thats the case Paulo what do they know that we don't. Time will tell. The Drummond brothers won't let this go cheap if they let it go at all. 12/24 more months growth in their hands would suit me very well.

MS

I think we still have 6 months to go before we see the share price rally. The reason being that the 2006 forecast of 3.14m (arburthnot) seems steep to most investors that do not understand the business model. By the interims in 2006 (should be in May) we will begin to see if they are on target to make that sort of profit or not. We will also know by then whether the mobile gaming businesses is looking like it could be a solid revenue earner.

Given the low forward PEs that gaming companies currently command and the expected move from being a mostly marketing company to more split between gaming and marketing I would value the company on a forward PE of 20.

That would give a market cap of about 60m by results next May. [about 22p a share]

If the mobile division does well and they win more mobile network contracts AND the mobile companies actually start to market the products I would put them on a market cap of 80m by next May [about 30p a share]

wjordan

I think that's a very reasonable argument. More realistic than others I've read on other boards.

LOL

MS

Fair point, wjordan.

But if we are looking at a profit of say 550k, a tie in with T-Mobile and the confirmation of revenue from our own casino site, I can still see the SP being driven up to 17-18p on results day.

Don't you think?!

I think the fact that the new site looks set to get off to a flier will certainly drive sentiment. And I particularly like the highlighted paragraph:

Operational and Financial Highlights



All financial figures in US$ unless otherwise noted. All conversions to
Sterling are at a rate of US$ 1.77 to 1.



Sign ups



The Company surpassed two million customers in September and closed
the 3rd quarter with 2,026,413 customers. Daily sign ups averaged 3,085
customers for the quarter which was up 48 % from 2,085 in Q3 2004. Year-to-date
sign ups are up 64 % over the previous year. Traditional volume increases in
the month of August were less than expected for the season as a result of the
phased migration to the next generation IT platform which caused some disruption
to operations. Volumes returned to seasonally normal levels in September.



Average daily receipts



Average daily receipts from customers for the quarter were $3.64
million which was up 88 % on Q3 2004 and up 16 % on Q2 2005. Year-to-date
average daily receipts are up 98 % over the previous year.



Revenue



Revenue for the quarter was $44.9 million which is up 106 % from $21.9
million in Q3 during 2004. Year-to-date revenue of $118.4 million is up 115 %
from $55.0 million for the same period in 2004.



Gross margins



Gross margin of 73.9 % has improved from 73.2 % recorded for the first
six months of 2005, and represents a considerable increase from the 69.6 % gross
margin recorded in the same quarter period for 2004. The Company's scalable
operating platform continues to allow for increased volume of transactions to be
handled while maintaining a stable gross margin.



Income before tax



Income before tax improved 106 % to $26.3 million in the third quarter
compared with $12.8 million in Q3 2004. Year-to-date income before tax is $66.9
million, which represents an increase of 122 % from $30.2 million in the prior
year.



Income tax



Income tax expense for the current quarter is at approximately 10 % of
pre-tax income or $2.7 million.



Net income



Net income for the quarter rose to $23.6 million (up 176 % from $8.6
million in Q3 2004) bringing the year-to-date net income to $60.6 million (up
203 % from $20.0 million for the same period in 2004). Net income margin was
52.5 % for the quarter compared with 39.4 % for Q3 2004.



Earnings per share



Basic EPS for the quarter was $0.196 (equivalent to 11.1 pence per
share) based on the total shares outstanding of approximately 120 million. This
compares to EPS of $0.071 for the corresponding quarter in 2004.


Other 3rd Quarter Highlights



The Company has continued to strengthen its management team and has
made key appointments within the organisation, in particular in the marketing
and product development areas. In addition, the Company announced that Dale
Johnson, Director and Executive Vice President, has assumed the role of
President - Asia region on an interim basis to support and expand the work which
Benjamin Lee, Vice President & General Manager, has commenced in Asia. While
progress is being made, NETELLER is seeking to accelerate the pace of its Asian
programme in order to meet its key strategic objectives for this region.



The Company announced on 31 October the acquisition of Netinvest
Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary Netbanx Limited (together 'Netbanx'), a
UK based card processor, for $21.9 million (12.36 million) in cash, from
Transact Group. This is a key strategic acquisition for NETELLER, enabling
integration of the payment processing solution from customer to merchant.
Netbanx will provide NETELLER with the ability to process its own card
transactions, retaining a greater proportion of margins in-house, whilst also
generating additional revenue opportunities from leveraging Netbanx's existing
merchant base in the UK. The acquisition underlines NETELLER's position as a
leading payment provider to the e-commerce sector and the acquisition is
expected to enhance earnings in the first full year after acquisition and
provide operational synergies.



Current Trading



Since the end of September trading has continued to show positive
growth trends in both sign ups and average daily receipts, in line with typical
seasonal variations. The Company remains comfortable with consensus forecasts
for revenue, operating income and EPS for the current financial year.

Well, I certainly hope the share price rises in results but I'm not holding my breath....unless they surprise the market with news that is not expected. We have had the upgrade already and the bropkers forecasts of 570k profit, we know about the pokerrroom deal and we know about the t-mobile deal. What we don't know is what the monthly net income from gambling.com has risen to in October - that could be interesting if they announce it. Also, I would like to see how many customers they are aquiring per month for all of their gaming white lebels - that might give us some idea of how many poker players they are capable of signing up.

Looks like MMs are keen to incourage some selling during this quiet period.
Next week we should start gearing up for the results on the 22nd with few more goodies thrown in the Christmas stocking. I've been a good boy this year and want a 3D phone with poker room for my present.

Could do with some action with this one. One of my more boring ones, but hold in hope.

MS

Know the feeling.

How can you get 325K buys zero sells and no movement in the sp. MM's don't you just luv them.

MS

We'll the bid's just gone up and the spread looking more friendly. I reckon we'll break 12p this time and move forward in anticipation of good results.

We're on the move again. This time looking good to close above 12p.

paulo2,

it is kind of funny u ve got so much positive vibes on this on? i also observed the same on your postings in advfn. are u also tandmeister on iii?

I can only assume there's a point to be made somewhere in there. Perhaps you'd like to explain yourself.

"it is kind of funny u ve got so much positive vibes on this on?"

i think it speaks for itself
