Does not make sense to me. Both offer the complete package anyway. And both do not target the american market. They are of similar size too. I guess 888 is more a candidate for a merger.

True, but Party seems to be interested in a strong sports betting plataform, so 888 is probably out of the question. And it could also create a poker monster: Party+Ongame could take over iPoker's title of biggest network.

But doesnt Party already have a decent sports betting platform? Why do they need to team up with bwin?

I don't think that these to networks will merge together, but because of the fact that bwin has more scandinavian players, Party could be interested in merging the two networks. But I don't like this idea.

bwin is not able to handle anything what they are doing... no software, no server, no support... they should clean up their mess in their own house before starting thinking about anything else
I think so !!
