I never suggested MG was going this to screw affiliates, some have hinted this was the reason but I really think that is casino suicide. They make enough $ that they don’t need to and for a company that has been in the game for 10+ years I don’t think the plan on starting now.
As for going on the LSE it’s just speculation (just my opinion that’s all) but let’s say you owned Microgaming and it’s worth $10 billion right now. Would you go on the LSE for $5 billion right now or would you rather make more but take another 10 years to get that? When a company floats the owners get a serious paycheck and the company gets a boost of credibility. I’m just stating what makes sense to me. If MG were going on the LSE very soon they would have to behave similar to the others on the LSE (neteller, 888, party, playtech). With the world markets being what they are now and with online gambling being the fun exciting rollercoaster ride that it is, I certainly would like to take the risk free fat paycheck.
I’m done on the subject but enjoy reading the comments, Monday it is
