In a public letter sent to the media, David Baazov (CEO of Amaya Gaming) announced that it will make an offer to sell PokerStars and FullTilt, making public the proposal so all cash (all cash). Baazov claimed to have met investors who prepared an offer of $ 14.98 per share, and delivery companies could become a reality in recent times. The offer would be around $ 2.8 billion.

I don't know where you had your information but i just googled Amaya and saw that Baazov want to privatize the company and made an offer to buy the all the shares to make it private.
He now have 18.6% of the shares and want to buy them all with some other investors. It never said that he want to sell stars and FT.
If you have other informations let me know where you got them.

I read it on pokernews, Baazov have already a lot of shares, and he is planing to buy 500k shares more, which will put him over 50% ownership of pokerstars and full tilt... it will not privatize all... so there will be again share holders, but now we have one that holds more than 50% which I hope it will be good...amaya bough pokerstars for around 6 billions if I am not wrong, and now they are selling ps and ft for 2.8B thats low...I wouldnt sell it because market will now grow more when americans come on ps and ft

Remember that this happens two years after Amaya buy him Rational Group sites by $ 4.9 billion, in an unprecedented move that rocked the world's expectations of online gambling. After many changes (including cessation of representation of several pros, changes in rake and benefits to players and casino platform and fantasy sports).
"Whereas the purchase of PokerStars was an operation based on debt, gains and innovation options were flooded by the priority to repay the debt," said Alex Dreyfuss, owner of the Global Poker Index. For now, the site shares took a good jump and jumped nearly 30% this morning.
------------ Will we see another change in the domains of PokerStars? I think if and soon. And I think it's the best thing that can happen to PokerStars, especially considering the real poker players, because the reality is that since he took Amaya room charge destroyed the true sense of identity that had the site by adding all kinds betting that the real poker player hates.

Amaya destroyed PokerStars To win more money became a vulgar casino by adding sports betting and casino gambling. Mix everything and attracted many players who were not specific poker ruining the true sense of the room. Site sports betting and online casinos are many, but PokerStars was different for being exclusive poker and marred them. Hopefully sell it, they leave and not return again, those mobsters. Amaya death!

I dont know which story is true, havent done a search to see what is going on The only thing that is sure is that this company is making money. And they will continue making money for much longer. SO any kind of investment here is a good investment.

What is your problem Tony? You work for Amaya's bothering you that think against that company? Opinions are free and have the right to disagree with the measures taken by that company and to express it And that sounds like a threat, you think you act like a yakuza? Who do you think you are to come here to torment us?
