PokerStars Looking to Sell?

[stillshadow]

Apparently, Stars is looking to sell off their roughly $2 Billion product or go public. Interested parties include 888. Pretty big stuff, eh?

If it's true, HUGE.

Link to an article?

Wold be nice if they went public. make a quick buck the first few days of trading

Don't you people read the news at PAW? This was posted yesterday :P

Yea that would be a huge aquisition if someone purchases PokerStars. If I had an extra $2 Billion laying around I would be all over it.

Hopefully if it does get sold, the buyer will integrate a decent affiliate program into the site........that woud be awesome to say the least.

Pokserstars IPO - For Sale

i just hope its not 888, everything i hear about them is shady

A lack of a full afilliate program is significant reason why they would be approached to be bought out, even if they are more inclined to IPO. They aren't "built out". There is a clear way to further increase the asset of the property after acquisition.
