Huge layoffs at Playtech and restructuring going on for some time now. They will be rebranding affiliate programs and relaunching soon with new faces and hopefully new attitudes and business ethics in place.
The causualties are setting up ad networks to exploit their existing relationships and knowledge of the products. Webroute is one such ad network.
New programs are springing up and are teamed with former managers of the Playtech Group and and also 888. Another good example is Duplicate Poker, almost all of their senior staff were senior management at 888.
