Amicable agreement to abandon "discussions"

The widespread speculation that Ladbrokes and 888.com were making merger talk can now cease following an announcement from both companies that their discussions regarding " a business transaction" have been abandoned by mutual and amicable agreement.

Most of the UK business media reported that betting group Ladbrokes and online gaming firm 888 were no longer in talks regarding a possible deal.

Speculation started back in October last year when the two companies held meetings, but it is said that the discussions were interrupted and delayed by the US legislative development of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act that seeks to disrupt online gambling financial transactions.

The International Herald Tribune claimed that Ladbrokes was looking at ways to cap any liability in the US which could arise from a takeover of 888 as America continues its crackdown on internet gambling. 888.com pulled out of the USA as a consequence of the UIGEA but had previously diversified geographically in its business activities and was not as badly hit as some of the other public companies.

Since the US legislation was introduced 888 has continued to build its business elsewhere, and was granted an online sports betting license in Italy in December and, in February, signed an agreement with the owner of Rileys, the chain of 168 snooker, pool and poker clubs, which will see 888 support the Rileys website.

Shares in the Gibraltar-based parent 888 Holdings PLC dropped 5.7 percent Monday after the company made the announcement that the talks were being discontinued.

Supreme Court rules that Finnish government has the right to deny gambling application

A Ladbrokes application for recognition of its rights to enter the Finnish gambling market again met with failure this week.

Helsingin Sanomat business news reports that the Supreme Administrative Court (KHO) ruled that the Finnish Government had the legal right to deny Ladbrokes' application to run a betting operation in the country based on the fact that a license already had been granted to state-run gaming company Oy Veikkaus Ab.

Ladbrokes first applied for a license back in 2003.

According to a ruling handed down on Tuesday by the KHO, the government has a legal right to reject the application by gaming company Ladbrokes for a licence to arrange betting and gaming operations in Finland. The government decision was taken on the basis that a corresponding licence had already been awarded to Oy Veikkaus Ab, the state-owned national lottery and gaming company, and according to the 2002 Act on gaming, only one such licence can be in effect at any one time.
     
This was the second time the Ladbrokes application has been rebuffed. The company first sought a licence in 2003, but the government, via the Ministry of the Interior, rejected the proposal in 2004. A year later, the Court overturned the government decision and ordered it to be reconsidered, as the initial rejection was based simply on an interpretation of the Gaming Act, and not on the Ladbrokes' contention that the maintenance of a gaming monopoly was in contravention of EU rules on the free movement of services.
     
A second application was rejected in November 2005, and now KHO has responded to the appeal against this decision. The Court believes that the monopoly on gaming activities based on the Act on Gaming is in line with European Union legislation, and bases its decision on European Court of Justice rulings. These have stated that a national monopoly arrangement is acceptable when it is based on grounds of the public interest and is non-discriminatory.
     
KHO nevertheless noted that there are problems with Veikkaus operations, in particular with the marketing and product development activities of the company, which tend to be at odds with the avowed aim of the legislation to tackle the adverse effects of gambling.
     
Veikkaus, whose revenues from operations passes in large measure to the government, has actively marketed its products and services, thereby increasing turnover and indirectly the state's income from gambling.
     
The Supreme Administrative Court believes some of these difficulties can be overcome by developing the legislation, for example by raising the age limit for gaming to 18 and ensuring that advertising does not target minors.
     
The entire question of a gambling monopoly has been in the air for several years, particularly as Internet gambling has brought betting to computers in all Finnish homes. Ladbrokes has been particularly active in attempting to bring down the Veikkaus monopoly.

AFTER it reported an extremely strong start to 2007, Ladbrokes ruined many a speculator's lunch by ruling out any immediate takeover of the group, in particular a much touted bid by private equity group Apax Partners.

Takeovers and Ladbrokes have gone hand-in-hand for months now, even years.

Just over a year ago chief executive Chris Bell found himself ruling out a rumour that the company was about to be taken private.

The rumours have been fuelled by a history of corporate wheeling and dealing in the gaming sector. They were also helped by the fact that the gaming business of Ladbrokes had been cut loose from the larger group after the hotels business was sold to US giant Hilton Hotels Corporation for &#163;3.3bn, leaving the casino and bookmaking operation as a standalone company.

In the wake of that development, Bell said his brief was to prove that the group had a bright future as an independent, quoted company. The next step was to take the company international and partnerships were forged in markets such as Scandinavia and Greece, while it also entered into a consultancy deal with China Sport Lottery in Beijing.

Then there was the US and it is here where Bell, along with others in the industry, came up against a brick wall. Everyone knows the US market has huge potential, but until there is some change in American thinking on online gaming, it looks like an arena closed off to online operators, wherever they hail from.

The upshot of the heavy- handed treatment meted out by the US authorities to the executives of online poker firms was that Ladbrokes' share price dipped, sinking down to a low of &#163;3.76 last September, before it started to rebound.

The shares have since climbed back to their February peak of &#163;4.60, only to tail off once again as the reports of a possible takeover were discounted. In the wake of an extremely bullish trading statement issued last week, which highlighted the strong contribution from its Irish arm, Ladbrokes' stock has started to climb again and is now trading at around the &#163;4.13 mark.

Where does it go from here? With the US closed off it looks as though Ladbrokes and others in the gaming space are confined to Europe for further growth opportunities. The immediate outlook will therefore depend on its ability to leverage further value from its asset base without adding to its near-&#163;1bn debt pile.

Norway could be in breach of European internal-market rules

Positive mid-week news from Luxembourg is that the European Free Trade Association court (EFTA) has ruled that the action by Norway in refusing UK gambling group Ladbrokes access to its gambling market could represent a breach of European internal-market rules.

A further hearing on the issue will now have to take place in a Norwegian court in Oslo, which will refer to the EFTA opinion in reaching a  judgement on the case.

Following a Norwegian government rejection of its attempt to obtain permission to operate in Norway, Ladbrokes sought legal relief, asking that the rules giving exclusive monopolies in lottery and sports betting to Norsk Tipping and Norsk Rikstoto be struck down.

Reuters reports that the EFTA court, sitting in Luxembourg, found that the Norwegian government measures did not genuinely address concerns of battling gambling addiction and crime - Oslo's justification for restricting commercial companies in the business.

"A system based on an exclusive right ... completely denies private operators access to the respective market and thus encroaches upon the freedom to provide services and the right of establishment," the EFTA court said in a statement.

Norway also said that gambling companies must use their money for socially beneficial purposes, but the court rejected that argument, saying: "The motive of financing benevolent or public-interest activities cannot in itself be regarded as an objective justification for restrictions on free movement."

The EFTA court, which deals with cases from non-EU countries Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, uses the same rule book as the European Union in issues of free movement of goods and capital, which often affect cross-border businesses, reports Reuters.

This means the top court of the EU 27-member bloc, the European Court of Justice (ECJ), sometimes takes EFTA judgments into account although there is no requirement to do so.

In March, the ECJ criticised Italy over restrictions placed on Stanley International Betting. The European Commission, whose decisions can be challenged at the ECJ, is currently investigating betting markets in Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden.

Trading update shows "significant" big money bets on telephone service

The latest trading information from Ladbrokes indicates "...significantly increased levels of High Rollers’ Telephone betting activity," without venturing possible explanations for the phenomenon.

The income appears to be set to boost the Laddie telephone betting operating profit for the six months ended 30 June 2007 to around GBP 45 million more than during the same period last year.

"Otherwise, despite challenging conditions for UK Retail Over the Counter (OTC) business, Ladbrokes continues to trade in line with management’s expectations," the statement notes, confirming that results for the six months to 30 June 2007 will be announced on 9 August 2007.

Poker returns disappoint in latest interim report

Online poker operations at Ladbrokes, probably due to an increasingly competitive European business environment, disappointed investors when the e-gaming division of the gambling group released its interim six month numbers to the end of June this week.

Poker net revenue fell GBP 2.7million to GBP 15.7 million in the face of stiff competition in the UK and Scandinavian regions as active player numbers fell 15 percent to 422 000 and yield per unique active player fell 10.6 percent to GBP 144.

Other e-gambling operations fared better, with increased net revenues over the past six months. Overall gross rose 8.9 percent to GBP 72.5 million from GBP 67 million for the same period last year with unique active players rising 5 percent to 441 000.

Pre-tax profit before non-trading items for the group rose to GBP 161 million from GBP 155 million in the same period last year. Gross win rose to GBP 624 million from GBP 523 million while operating profit rose to GBP 195 million from GBP 151 million, aided by record results from telephone betting.

Ladbrokes also announced that its Italian retail business was up and running with 12 shops now trading.

Christopher Bell, chief executive, said the online business continued to perform satisfactorily, and that the company had experienced good growth in its online sportsbook, casino and gaming products to counter the poker performance.

Online sportsbook revenue rose 13.9 percent to GBP 27 million with gross win margin coming in at 7.9 percent. Casino net revenue grew by 14.4 percent to GBP 22.2 million. Games revenue rose 50 percent to GBP 7.5 million.
