Mansion rumor

[scottmc]

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.

I dont beleive this , if this is the case why would they be having there daily guaranteed 100k tournaments , which they put a huge overlay on as only 500 people usually register at $100 , its costing them 50k per tourney .

Think there trying to get more poker customers

Good riddance if they get out, but normally the world would not be that lucky.
