From http://www.egrmagazine.com/ their have been rumors (denied by Mansion) that Mansion will concentrate on casinos and close their sportsbook and poker room. I for one would not be saddened by their departure given their willingness to promote their site through the Russian hackers/spammers who ruined the Google poker SERPS for months when every other poker room distanced themselves from these search engine spammers.

Mansion has denied industry rumours that it is undertaking a re-organisation that will see it close the majority of its online operations.
According to sources Mansion is to concentrate on being a “high-end offline and online casino” operation in conjunction with Mansion owner Putra Sampoerna’s London casino Les Ambassadeurs.
The company said they were “unsubstantiated rumours”.
The source suggested the failure of the online gaming company’s sponsorship of English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur to bring in sufficient new customers lies behind the move.
Said the source of the Spurs shirt sponsorship: “It didn’t work at all.”
Mansion signed a four-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur last season for £34m (US$66m). It is not known what would happen with the sponsorship following the revision of Mansion’s strategy.
