    Default PartyGaming reaches settlement with U.S.

    The U.K. gambling firm, once a huge presence in the U.S., has reached non-prosecution deal with U.S. authorities that will cost the company $105 million.

    PartyGaming had closed U.S. operations shortly after the UIGEA went into effect and has been in negotiations with the U.S. government since mid-2007.

    From MarketWatch:

    "The resolution of our position with the U.S. authorities marks an important day for PartyGaming. It has been a long and complex process, but we have reached an amicable solution," said CEO Jim Ryan.

    "We are now well-placed to seize organic as well as strategic opportunities that previously were beyond our reach," he added.

    Aren't we all! But I see this as positive and ultimately helping pave a way back in - Should also be very interesting to see what deals Party do over the next 9 months as this US thing has held them back a lot and now they can work with, merge with or buy/be bought by anyone..........

    I think it's only neutral for those who don't like the gambling industry in US. We can only wish that their decision is always fair mutually?

    Default Confused

    I'm confused.
    Weren't those the people who lost BILLIONS when the US
    one day passed a law "outlawing" onling gaming?

    Party Poker?

    And now they're PAYING the US Govt for their transgressions?

    Sounds like a BAD BEAT to me.
