official statement from one of the skins.. damn

Very strange, given the fact, that just at the end of march Ongame was sold (by nyx). On monday pokerfuse had an article about whitebet (ongame skin) moving to mpn. maybe Hood has more infos about this

Countless and countless of hours back in the day. You served me well, RIP Ongame

Not really that strange to be honest, Ongame was already stalling when Nyx took over and they didn't do anything at all to improve the situation. If you keep bleeding and there is no help ...

What skin is this?

Dont know the skin but paf is allso leaving ongame at the same time.

Microgaming to get a load of new skins then.

RIP Ongame <3 Played solely ongame for the first like 1,5 years of my poker career. Great memories <3<3<3

They could have simply merged the two networks one year ago. But that would have been the smart thing to do, alas it never gained any traction to be considered. Now they are more or less merging, because most Ongame skins will be jumping off the sinking ship.

this is strange imo ... the Amaya NYX deal included Amaya investing in NYX so i guess they could afford buying 'damaged goods', but who buys this struggling network, just do end business a few months afterwards, unless he has plans for the software (not sure if the 2b2 part of ongame has any player database, which is worth something). maybe strange is the wrong word, and "interesting" would be better .. idk

Nah it is mostly because the biggest site/skin is Paradise Poker/sportingbet which is owned by GVC that bought PArty/bwin some time ago. So makes no sense for them to offer poker on Ongame if they have their own network and without them (After betsson group left in April) the network makes no sense there would be maybe 20-30 average players (and very few fish).

Please dont play with NoBlufPlease, it's very likely a house player/bot:

Wrong thread for your bad beat story. Also hilarious that someone must be a house player or bot when they suck out against you.

RIP Ongame

The deal was very convoluted. Part of the purpose appears to have been to mask Ongame's poor performance/loss-of-value under Amaya ownership & management (in my opinion).

-NYX got an option that it later exercised to buy Cryptologic for ~$150 million (including a 6-year lease-back to Amaya of the SW library, @ a minimum of $12 million/year for the 1st 3 years).
-Amaya loaned NYX $10 million that could be either be a normal loan, or converted into NYX stock (stock worth ~$5 million at the time), and
-NYX received Ongame, for a delayed cost of "8 times 2015 Ongame EBITDA". (Amaya had bought (a debt-free) Ongame 2 years before for 15 million Euros, plus up to 10 million Euros more based on US market penetration).

From the above it's hard to value what Ongame was really worth at the time of the sale by Amaya (even though it was clear the network was struggling). But as structured, people couldn't easily show an example of Amaya being bad at the poker operations business, which might impact future financing/deals they were hoping to make/renegotiate (i.e. even once they had acquired Stars and were in debt up to their eyeballs).

Well....according to more recent NYX filings, that 2015 EBITDA was negative $11.1 million, which times 8 = $88.8 million (CAD). One might assume there was little-to-no chance of that number being positive and that was assumed (?). Probably just means Amaya gets $0 as expected vs. paying NYX any money (otherwise NYX would be incentivized to tank Ongame on purpose).

Looks more and more like NYX agreed to take the sinking Ongame ship off of Amaya's hands, in return for the other favorable parts of the deal. Plus Amaya got some short-term cash in the Crypto sale + leaseback.

ongames network establishing connection
hello there,
im a player from Greece.the provider of the GVC holdings poker software in our country,is ongames network and you can play poker from 3 different poker-bet companies,BWIN.GR , sportingbet.gr and vistabet.gr,i think for the rest of the world is party poker which belongs to the same provider.all of these 3 belong to GVC holdings.im gonna tell you about bwin.gr but the same **** happens to the other 2 in the past and im sure it will happen again in the future.the BWIN.GR case is just the most recent cause it happened today.in these poker rooms,there are spin n gos tours with buy ins of 0.25$ ,1$ etc of 3 players,with 500 starting chips and its super turbo.im telling you again it has happened again in the past.i live in the center of a big city,regarding Greece's population,and i have a very good internet connection.well,while im playing these spin n gos,in many hands,im sit out and i get the message in the poker table ''establishing connection''.hahahahahaha,while my internet connection is excellent.as you can imagine,its not possible winning these hyper turbo tours with being sit out half+of the hands.what we re talking about here is the straight loss of money,by not being able to win these tours and by the buy ins itself cause youre sit out and you just restablish connection only to find out that you re out.you contact the live support and the support department via mails,you explain the problem and in the past these gypsies they tell you that you have to provide them the tour numbers and screenshots of the problem.like you enter a poker room just to go crazy and being ready to catch any problems that you re not responsible for,in screenshot,so that you wont show yourself to them as a liar.the result is total nothing.if you do this,cause i have captured screenshots in the past,they say that it is not their fault,cause in their system it is shown that you played normally the tours.hahahahahahaha.what they dont say is that you were most of the time ''sit out''.so you were not really playing.we re not talking about a big loss of money.we re talking about the nerves they create to a player,who just enters the room to play poker and risk his money,not coping with bull****s.
so i suggest staying away from these rooms cause the only thing you re gonna gain,is being MAD for no reason and slowly but sugnificantly losing money
