We remain focused on growing our business-to-consumer activity, and have recently signed agreements with a marketing agency in Kentucky and consultant in California to accelerate this strategy." Good to see our biggest share holder is engaged with a consultant in California to accelerate the marketing whilst actively seeking partnerships on the back of the game changing news in USA on gambling. just saying

just a link to WEB financials on ADVFN https://uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=financials&symbol=LSE%3AWEB LOL ... come and get us ; - )

pushes bid down from 4.04 to 3.8 LOL wow

... Jim Mellon mate holding 63% of the baby ..... did you not read the RNS "Seeking partnership" You think they're not speaking to companies already in anticipation of the law being passed?! LOL

no immediate impact because the law has only just passed by the Supreme court lol .. Do some research to see how all the states are now going to look to legalise it in their own. It'll be a dominos effect as States won't want residents going to other states spending money simple economics mate

WatchandWager has been the licensed operator of WatchandWager Cal Expo Racing in Sacramento, California since 2014. It is one of the few Advance Deposit Wagering ("ADW") companies to conduct both live pari-mutuel racing and on-line wagering services. Significantly, California's draft Sports Betting Bill specifies that only land-based racetracks and casinos will be eligible for license applications. In the United States, WatchandWager holds ADW licenses not only for California, but also for North Dakota (providing regulated access to a total of 28 states), together with individual State licenses for New York, Kentucky, Colorado, Minnesota and Washington. WatchandWager's President, Ed Comins comments: "We are very excited about the likely legalization of sports wagering in the United States. We have always believed that sports wagering would eventually come out of the shadows. As a reputable, licensed, and well-regulated company with a unique US land-based and on-line presence, WatchandWager can only benefit from this decision. As a result, we now seek partnerships with proven gaming software and other established operators in the anticipation that individual State legislation will receive approval."

I can�t believe Webis has so much more revenue in the states than Paddy Powers acquisition TVG which has its own horse racing Chanel, online betting, online casino, betting exchange and fantasy sports start up. Incredible

Paddy power - �The Irish group owns leading US horseracing channel, TVG, which has an on-line betting network, an on-line casino and horseracing betting exchange in New Jersey, and a fantasy sports start-up, Draft. These businesses have revenues of $140 million.� Webis - �Group turnover for the year ended 31 May 2017 was US$ 371.9 million (2016: US$224.3 million) � a growth of over 65% on operations.� Ok, that�s confirmed how big this company actually is.

Not my trade btw Looking at the trades on LSE Goes to show the difference a day can make RNS to come yet ⏰

Could have been worth �137,500 at some point this morning. Damn

continued sorry for multi posts atchandWager has significant leverage in negotiating wagering contracts and licenses with domestic and international tracks and racing associations. Ed Comins, President of WatchandWager, believes that the new contract with Cal Expo strengthens the future of both the track and the company. �We are proud to reach an agreement with the Board of Directors of Cal Expo,� Comins said. �WatchandWager remains committed to the US racing industry by providing live harness racing to fans and supporting California horsemen with revenue from wagering. We look forward to building upon the progress over the next five years of the contract.�

I agree & reading about the licences I'm positive; Washington - In its most recent annual report issued in February 2015, the WHRC indicated that residents wagered US$ 61.7 million in 2014, a growth of 20% on prior year. The population has grown to over 7 million, which is an increase of over 300,000 since 2010. With approximately 77% of the current population of legal age to place a wager, the license, one of only five, potentially expands WatchandWager�s market by an additional 5.4 million people. "the licence, one of only five" 3 year deal with Hong Kong Jockey Club Known for its massive wagering pools and elite level of racing, the HKJC is regarded as one of the premier centers of horse racing in the world. The 131-year-old HKJC had a record handle during 2014-15, with US$13.93 billion being wagered on races at Sha Tin Racecourse and Happy Valley Racecourse last season. The HKJC is especially popular among international horseplayers, who wagered US$340 million into the HKJC pools during the same period, with WatchandWager contributing significantly to that amount. �This is a groundbreaking deal that looks set to significantly improve WatchandWager�s performance long term as well as likely increase the growth of international money into the HKJC,� said Ed Comins, Managing Director of Webis. �It is an honour for WatchandWager to renew its partnership with the HKJC and to be able to offer world class racing to our customers. It is also a testament to our level of compliance and reliability in the regulated US market that we were approved for this extension. � NY The award of the license adds to the growing number of US States in which WatchandWager operates. Most importantly, it now secures WatchandWager a licensed presence in the two major States for horse racing by value of wagers placed, namely California and New York Itself, something many other ADW operators have been unable to achieve. California and New York residents wager an estimated US$1 billion plus per annum through ADW operations and wagers on races conducted in the two key States represent over 40% of the total licensed US pool betting market of over 10 billion per annum. The Board believes the acquisition of key licenses such as these is critical to the company�s future Kentucky - Good relationships With hundreds of horse farms, breeding farms, and training centers in the state�s Bluegrass Region, Kentucky is famously known as the �cradle of horse racing� in the United States. Kentucky has a population of over 4.4 million, many of them horse racing fans. WatchandWager�s presence in Kentucky began in 2013, and the company�s investment in the State expanded when it moved its telephone call center from the Isle of Man in the United Kingdom to Lexington, Ky Cal Expo (not sure how big this actually is?) WatchandWager has significant leverage in negotiating w

"It takes a couple weeks to finish off the technology. We weren't sure which way the Supreme Court would rule. We were very confident of victory. But there were two paths. And we wanted to make sure we got it right," Drazin said. Illegal sports betting in the U.S. has been estimated to generate as much as $400 billion per year. "[That's] where we think it is," he said, predicting a conversion into legal operations in New Jersey of about $10 billion annually. CNBC's Michael Sheetz and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ahead of Monday's ruling, seven other states had laws prepared to make sports betting legal. Ahead of Monday's ruling seven other states � Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Iowa, New York, Mississippi and West Virginia � had laws prepared to make sports betting legal. Thirteen other states � California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and South Carolina � have plans or proposals to consider legalizing sports betting. One of the first sports betting operations to open outside Nevada could be at Monmouth Park racetrack in New Jersey. William Hill US, already the biggest sportsbook in Nevada, invested in sports gambling at Monmouth Park five years ago. "We always, of course, had an eye outside of the state [Nevada]," Asher told CNBC. "We made a bet back in 2013 on Monmouth Park in New Jersey. And obviously, it turned out to be a pretty good bet," said Asher, who added it could open for business with a few weeks. CNBC

Hi Mick I know and you know and we know there is an obvious explanation, but that doesn't mean everyone else knows about the Supreme court announcement. I thought LSE would work on the basis that the company has to explain, via RNS not over the phone or something

With such a large percentage rise over 2 trading days .. why is there no RNS? I thought companies were forced to put one out (regardless of news known outside of what's been reported by the company) from the Nomad / London Stock Exchange to justify the movements. Plenty of times on 40% rises I've seen companies having to release something. Maybe there is an RNS with a future plan / opportunities body to the e-mail, and not just an RNS like we saw for GAN earlier about the laws. hmmmmmmmmmmm speculation of course no advice intended

still can't buy a thing A firm electronic quote is not currently available for your order however will sell for 4.2 ... make of that what you will
