The giant betting institution Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment, is, in fact, the result of the Austrian-based Bwin and Party Poker, which is based in the UK, having joined together. Their first plan to join was set for July, 2010. Bwin shareholders got 52% shares of the conglomerate. The new company has two CEOs; Jim Ryan from Party Poker and Norbert Teufelberger from Bwin.

With the merger, they could top the list for sports betting, poker and other games, like bingo. They are also able to control the industry and make heaps of money. They also reached the top position in the online entertainment field. They are in the hope of being able to conquer the US market in online poker.

There is an anticipation that the merger will help them reach the pinnacle in online poker and casino games. Individually, both companies are experts in their own fields, so their combined efforts will surely carry them to the peak.

The merged company has huge expectations of developing the Party Poker brand in Europe. Bwin used to be a division of the Ongame Network. However, now that they have merged with Party Poker, they are expecting to create the largest online poker room on the globe. They are also aware of the fact, that they do not have any competition who can really confront them.

By this merger, Bwin and Party Poker hope to integrate client service to reduce costs, especially in the smaller, foreign-language markets. The strong bookmaking of Bwin could be used by Party Poker, and they will also have the advantage of a vertical M&A in the sports books. Besides, Bwin will have no need to build a casino vertically.

The merger includes nearly no risk on behalf of the giants involved, since there will be no merger of supply or assembly lines. Being two international businesses, they do have independent operations, because they operate from two different countries. Both staffs are very young, and you will find that they come from distinct backgrounds. They will not have any problems in moving laterally. They will have to make sure that they do not fall prey greed and unethical ways of the business models existing today.

The fusion of the two companies brought about a positive reaction from the stock market. This is seen as a very appropriate move by all the investors and analysts, mutually to enhance their chances. If the winning take of 17% by Bwin and 20% by Party Poker on the first day is taken as a measure, the future prospects are indeed very promising.

There will be good points and bad points in every merger. The smaller poker industry would definitely be influenced by the joining. Because there will be no risk, the merger could only cause an improvement in the poker field. With very experienced CEOs, the joint ventures should be greatly rewarding, and you can be sure that the amalgamation of bwin and Party Poker will do a lot of good for the world of online poker.
