Nació la empresa gigantesca bwin.party tras completarse la fusión de bwin y PartyGaming al inicio del mes de abril.
Los CEO de cada empresa, Jim Ryan y Norbert Teufelberger, de PartyGAming y bwin repsectivamente, ahora co-presidirán el nuevo negocio. Su primer acto de la nueva empresa ha sido criticar al gobierno alemán por sus declaraciones sobre sus intenciones de introducir licencias y el cobro de impuestos al sector. El gobierno alemán ha informado que emitirá siete licencias de juego para operadores privados de apuestas deportivas, con un modelo fiscal del 16.66% sobre los ingresos totales, reemplazando la actual legislación que prohibe los juegos de azar online. "La aplicación de los principios presentados por los estados ayer es igual de probable que fracase como el modelo de monopolio que Alemania está abandonando", señaló el consejero delegado de bwin.party Norbert Teufelberger en un comunicado el jueves 7 de abril."Un impuesto del 16,67% en las apuestas deportivas haría imposible ofrecer un producto competitivo". Por otro lado, el hecho de excluir los productos de póquer y de casino de este modelo de licencia seguirá impulsando a los clientes en el mercado negro", agregó.
