PartyGaming has inked its B2B deal in France is applying for a French gaming licence.

This deal sees Aviation Club de France, a land-based gambling venue off the Champs Elysees in Paris and France's leading card room, maintain its world class status. The club is understood to sport in excess of 100,000 members. Aviation Club will join PartyGaming's French poker network when laws permits it to go ahead.

Aviation Club de France will join other gaming operators on the network including PartyGaming's own France-facing site, PartyGaming.fr, current French racing powerhouse Pari-Mutuel Urbain (PMU), and television broadcaster AB Groupe, following an agreement inked last month.

PartyGaming is keen to see the French gaming licence granted and don't foresee delays.

The licence system, which was approved by the French parliament last month, means that PartyGaming will switch off domestic casino and bingo when licensing is approved, resulting in the removal of annualised revenues of approximately $12m.

Media Man and its Casino News Media and Global Gaming Directory arms are very excited as to what this means to the continued global strategy and growth.

The gaming and news media world is following the progress of the PartyGaming deals in France to help evaluate their own strategy regarding gaming, government and land based projects.

Major U.S, Canadian and Australian based casinos and clubs are taking a very close look at this deal and how it pans out, advised a Media Man media and gaming spokesperson.

PartyGaming Results Decline Slightly
25th November 2008

Gibraltar-based online gaming provider PartyGaming has released its results for the third quarter of the year showing strong growth in its casino, bingo and sportsbetting businesses but a decline in revenues from poker.

PartyGaming revealed that poker revenues for the third quarter were down to $65 million from the $76.3 million it earned during the same period last year. The firm stated that this was due to lower player frequency and yield and also reported that nine-month revenues from poker decreased one percent to $218.9 million.

However, revenues from its casino business grew 25 percent to $45.9 million for the third quarter from the $36.7 million it reported for the same period last year due to higher player numbers and yields. Nine-month revenues from its casino business fared even better by increasing 33 percent to $135.8 million.

In addition, its sportsbetting division reported that revenues grew by 19 percent for the quarter to $5.1 million from the $4.3 million it reported for the same period last year due to continued growth in live betting. It declared nine-month revenues from sportsbetting of $14.1 million, which was 29 percent up on the $10.9 million it acknowledged for last year.

Completing the good news, bingo revenues were up by 143 percent to $1.7 million for the short-term from the $700,000 announced for 2007’s third quarter due to a growth in the firm’s UK business. Just as spectacular, nine-month revenues from bingo increased 106 percent to $3.7 million from 2007’s $1.8 million.

Overall, PartyGaming reported total revenues of $117.7 million for the quarter, which was $300,000 less than last year’s third quarter, alongside an eleven percent rise in nine-month results to $372.5 million.

“We are making solid progress on executing our strategic plan, albeit against a challenging economic backdrop and strengthening US Dollar,” said Jim Ryan, Chief Executive Officer for PartyGaming.

Party Gaming CEO Discusses Future of Online Poker, by Earl Burton - Poker News Daily - 6th January 2009

The recent news in December of Party Gaming co-founder Anurag Dikshit’s plea bargain with the U.S. Department of Justice thrust the company back into the spotlight. Now, in a December 28th interview with Financial Times, new Chief Executive Officer Jim Ryan has announced his plans for returning the company to the lofty perch it once held.

The article, written by Roger Blitz, points out that it has been a very difficult couple of years for the one-time monolith in the online poker world. After its initial public offering (IPO) on the London Stock Exchange in 2005, Party Gaming was valued at almost £5 billion. Since the departure of U.S. players due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006 and the subsequent decision by then-CEO Mitch Garber to withdraw from the market, Party Gaming’s value has fallen to under £1 billion. However, as Blitz states, there could be “a light at the end of what has been a long, dark tunnel” for Party Gaming.

The light that Blitz refers to is the mid-December decision by Dikshit to succumb to Department of Justice pressures and plead guilty to violations of the Wire Act of 1961. In submitting his guilty plea, Dikshit paid a $300 million fine and could face a two year jail term, although sentencing will not occur until 2010. He continues to assist the United States Government in its investigations into online gaming.

In the article, Ryan - who took over for Gerber in June of 2008 - states that Party Gaming is currently in discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the company’s liabilities, but wouldn’t go into great detail. The article did discuss that the shares of Party Gaming on the London Exchange have grown to 200 pence each and that a deal with the U.S. government is looming sometime this month.

When asked about the future of the company, Ryan was upbeat about Party Gaming’s abilities in not only online poker, but also in a realm of online gaming options. “This is a marathon, not a sprint,” Ryan is quoted as saying in the Financial Times article by Blitz. “We have been chasing quarterly profits, but the market has become so competitive, you’ve got to know where you’re going. We’re not so much slowing down, but keeping ourselves focused.”

The three year plan that Ryan has set for Party Gaming is something that he believes that other online gaming companies want to do, but his company already does. The Financial Times quotes Ryan as saying that the company, since its exodus from the U.S. market, has built a complete gaming operation that is focused on all aspects of the online world, including poker, casino, sports betting, bingo, and backgammon. “[We offer] different products with one back office platform,” he explains in Blitz’s article. “One deposit, one account – it’s a one stop shop. That is still the main strategic objective for a number of our competitors and we have it already.”

Ryan also states that he sees a day when the online gaming world will be vastly different than what is out there today. While poker remains the focus of Party Gaming, Ryan sees over the next three years that there will only be five online poker operators of any consequence. Party Gaming at this time ranks fourth in that equation - something that “hurts,” according to Ryan - but his quote in the Financial Times piece looms large: “We need to retake the hill and position ourselves to be that leader again.” (Credit: Poker News Daily)

Party Gaming Full-Year Results Released

Poker disappoints in latest financial numbers

March 11, 2009 (InfoPowa News) -- Party Gaming plc may have started out as a primarily online poker destination, but the performance of this sector of its wider group activities was disappointing last year, judged by the 2008 full-year financials released this week. Poker net revenues declined by $21 million to $274 million (2007: $295 million).

Elsewhere the outlook was rosier, with online casino net revenues up $31,8 million to $176 million; the more recent sportsbetting venture up $1.9 million to $18 million and Bingo up $2.4 million to $4.9 million.

Total net revenues reached $472.9 million, down $3.1 million on the corresponding period in 2007 after a "non-recurring net revenue adjustment" of $18.2 million.

Other highlights included:

* Continuing Clean EBITDA up 29 percent to $144.2 million (2007: $111.7 million); total Clean EBITDA up 53 percent to $133.3 million (2007: $87.0 million)

* The addition of DM plc and CIRSA to the Party Gaming portfolio of business-to-business (‘B2B’) customers

* Cash flow from operations before working capital movements up 23 percent to $132.5 million (2007: $107.6 million) with group cash after client liabilities and progressive prize pools of $70.3 milion.

Commenting on the results, Jim Ryan, PartyGaming Chief Executive Officer, said:

"We are pleased to announce another strong set of results with Clean EBITDA from Continuing operations up 29 percent to $144.2 million. Our business model is both flexible and robust with a capacity to generate strong cashflow. Our brands and market position are strong and we have a healthy balance sheet with which to execute our business strategy. I believe that we are in an excellent position, not just to withstand the macroeconomic challenges that may lie ahead, but also to execute our strategy, create value for all of our stakeholders and achieve our long-term objective of becoming the world’s most valuable online gaming company.”

Regarding current trading he added:

“In the 5 weeks ended 4 February 2009, average gross daily revenue was $1,442,900. In poker, new player sign-ups increased to an average of 1,494 per day, and there were on average 51,000 active players per day generating average gross daily poker revenue of $756,700. In casino, gross revenue was $597,200 per day. In sports betting gross win per day was $75,700 and in bingo, average gross daily revenue was $13,200.

In the four weeks ended 4 March 2009, average gross daily revenue was $1,536,200. In poker, new player sign-ups averaged 1,550 per day and there were on average 51,100 active players per day, generating average gross daily revenue of $738,500. In casino, average gross daily revenue was $662,500; in sports betting, average gross win per day was $123,000; while in bingo it was $12,200.

“The Group has continued to make good progress in the first few weeks of 2009 despite the pressures of a highly competitive market and substantial year-on-year currency movements.”
