Looks not too dis similar to that of the previous BB/WGP landing page app... Looks really good, but at 20 pound I don't think I will be rushing to get it. Excited at the thought of WGP having an involvement but my experience of this share tells me I will remain disappointed.....
you bet they are ................
I have to say hats off to BB for what they have achieved and produced. They really look like they are on their way to turning the way we bet on its head! Bingo, I sincerely hope you are right in that Worldlink are still in bed with them and that they/are involved in the development. If so, this could all end in a fairy tale.
Has everybody seen the new BB website....? Looks really good, but can't see Worldlink mentioned.
All quiet on the western front !
Is Worldlinks HQ phone...... What's next? A dead tone?
Christmas holidays no doubt....
I believe they are still working on it. But...its gone rather quiet these last few days.
That pre supposes Mr Riches has an income from somewhere. Not sure where that is but it doesn't appear to be WGP unless I am missing something
Hello SD. Have you heard anything further? Is the Falcon deal happening?
Unfortunately I am not Mr Riches as if I was I wouldn't be too worried about my financial investment and would be sitting back and picking up a healthy salary! I am an interested party who has a minimal amount of shares who has watched this debacle for some months with interest. I certainly cannot influence in any way shape or form however I merely state facts. It has been interesting finding snippets of information and feeding these in to the site.
Bob, your are not Mr Riches in disguise are you?
My point is and always has been that Worldlink and Betbutler still have a working relationship and are still engaging with each other. Did you also read that the Chair of the Coxhoe Branch is also on the Board of the full Sunderland Supporters Committee where there over 40 other regional, national and international branches? Now may be this is a start, or indeed has this commenced with others already? The Football League Interactive site states that Betbutler have the deal with them. IF Worldlink have a partnership with them then the Coxhoe branch deal may be the seed for 1000's more. I am, before Cityboyz states such, viewing through rose tinted glasses and being positive for which I do not apologise. By the way 9 Premiership clubs are in the FLI, plus the 3 Betbutler have already got (and Glasgow Rangers) means they are quite a force to be reckoned with in the betting and gaming world. Fingers crossed Worldlink make the 'deal' with Betbutler !
i also found this;"The Coxhoe Branch is an offical branch of the Sunderland Association Football Club Supporters Association. Based in the North East Of England we cover the villages of Bishop Middleham, Coxhoe, Kelloe and West Cornforth" Can't believe WGP got this deal. - it's fantastic. A real step up !! ...crack open the Babysham!!! Woot Woot !!
Deal done in September? http://safcsacoxhoebranch.co.uk/press-release-worldlink/
Can see them now Bingo. Was looking on my phone earlier, but it must have cut off the side of the page. What I meant was at the time I could only see Worldlink following clicking on the Bet Butler logo on the main page. I hope you are right and much bigger and better things are around the corner. Getting back on the football league deal would be fantastic!!! Thanks for the info, I am sure all on here are appreciative whether they are pro or anti Worldlink.
Not sure what is meant by that last post Breakdance. Worldlink names and logos appear on all three League websites and the Sunderland RCA website. As I keep saying, something must be in the pipeline which is bigger and better than these small deals if Betbutler are still meeting with and hosting Worldlink reps and clients at matches and having behind closed doors meeting up in London on a regular basis. I maintain my stance that there is still hope on a partnership in the making to meet the needs of the Football League.
Although no sign of the Worldlink Logo on the web pages. Only mentioned on landing site.
research found the following Non League 'Leagues' display the Betbutler powered by Worldlink logos and have associated betting and gaming sites - Wearside League, Wearside Combination League, Sunderland Sunday League. These are all connected and maintained by the same website provider in Yorkshire. Must be more to find. Small stuff but 'alive and kicking' although not going to earn us mega bucks.
Of all the income....! 800p is back on! Lol
A thoughtful young man has just checked for me and tells me Whyteleafe also have a Powered by Worldlink link also. Average attendance (I assume fans) is 200 per home game. He cannot find any others other than Ramsgate and Sunderland RCA. These match previous RNS release I believe.
i think you are right in what you say it looks more like an Affliliate relationship with a couple of very low non league clubs, maybe its being used as a test case. Its a start , but considering on what basis investors put money into the company and are still being asked to do so- patents worth millions (slated down to £1 in the ITS winding up and failed action against City Index), numerous RNS statements that have proven not to have come to fruition, claims of owning Premier League football deals etc etc ...to a couple of revenue share deals with non league football teams, i think you are right, there seems no value in that for investors or potential investors. Surely any income (if there is any) is so small it will get swallowed in costs right away. The memo Southerndude relesed was stating a profit of £3.8m if i remember correctly - that cannot be a current memo based on these facts?? Such a shame because things sounded so promising back in the summer.
To be fair to Bingobob, the website of Sunderland RCA of the Northern League does appear to have a logo powered by Worldlink which clicks through to what appears to be a white labelled version of the Bet Butler website. The central panel looks the same as Bet Butler but with a frame and colours for Sunderland. I think they are the only club in the Northern League that does have it though. Only checked a few. I'm not sure it is anything more than a standard affiliate partner deal likely with a shared revenue between the club, WGP (the Affiliate) and Bet Butler. Bet Butler announced an affiliate programme back in January and unless I am mistaken, they have no other Affiliates yet other than WGP. Either way, it seems clear to me that a relationship of some sort still exists between Bet Butler and WGP even if it is an arms length affiliate deal. Bingobob's explanation about Bet Butler committing to have white labelled websites for the Clubs seems plausible to me although I would think it is a relatively straightforward thing to achieve. For example, Saxobank who I mention below have over 300 affiliates and can fully rebrand their platform for a new partner in a matter of hours. Not sure why they need Worldlink for this (core business a mobile data patent?) unless time is of the essence as Bingo says which again seems plausible. To put Affiliates into perspective, Worldlink Brokers is an Introducing Broker arrangement with Saxobank's platform including the Saxobank mobile platform (no proprietary WGP technology). Saxobank have over 300 such Affiliates and are the leaders in Europe for financial partnerships. As part of this, Saxobank allow partners to use their own branding. I believe the Bet Butler arrangement is along these lines but as the first Affiliate, probably have a stronger relationship than your bog standard affiliate. In any case, without a viable patent, the blue ribband deals all off, I cannot see how WGP can relist or justify a Main Market listing at this market cap by being an Affiliate business. It could be a tidy little business as a private SME though. Happy to be proven wrong as always.
Crystal Ball and Worldlink is an understatement!!!
million dollar question. May be they had to do it to satisfy the Premiership Clubs or distance them selves from the legal matters or negative press associated with the main Worldlink Group? We will never know. Remember at that time there was all the stink connected with S. Pearson too. Wasn't the Football League deal completed by Betbutler after their statement of non assocaition with Worldlink. They might have done this so as not to jeopaerdise this deal? Crystal ball time.
