    Default Stan James Acquires Betdirect

    I know Stan James wasn't too fond of U.S. players way back when we could actually play there about a year and a half ago.

    I have to wonder how this integration process will go.

    Stan James Acquires Betdirect

    32Red Plc has announced that it is to sell betdirect to Stan James in a deal worth £5.75m. The sale includes the betdirect brand, customer database and certain assets of the betdirect business.

    Contracts were exchanged last night and expectations are that both parties wish to complete the transaction by December 10, 2007.

    Ed Ware CEO 32Red stated, “We are pleased to announce the sale of betdirect to such an established and reputable company within the industry and in Gibraltar. We are working with the Stan James team to ensure that the integration and migration of betdirect is as smooth as possible.

    “The sale of betdirect enables us to re-focus on our core and resonant 32Red brand and to maximize opportunities to develop our international reach and launch new products and services.”

    32Red confirmed that it will continue to offer its online sportsbetting and gaming services.

    My online limit at Stan James is currently 49 eurocents. I called in Baseball Playoffs and had one bet accepted for up to $100 Euros. It was truly a ego pumping experience.

    stanjames is not a good book and i would never recommend them

    their interface sucks and not geared towards anything other than the English market

    stanjames is too old outdated and has not caught up with the rest of the worlds betting community

    A fair book. They used to be one of the few Euro-focused books to take Americans but very limited offerings. I remember they had 30 cent NBA sides.

    Good Book
    Good offerings
    The 2 Euro limits on NFL and NBA are a little tough to overcome

    Did Pinnacle cut your limits or is that they are not offered to the US?

    that's British bookmaking for you... won't find too many who don't do that, just depends how much you take off them in the first place.

    Probably not getting the full story, Eastern European countries are filled with poor people, gypsies, scammers and the lot - undesirables basically, Stan James is a class act and has no need to do business undesirables.

    I wouldn't be surpriesd if the op left out some important facts.

    Your post makes me scratch my head

    Durito, since perception is clearly a weakness of yours I'll give you a heads up on this one, my response to the op was in jest.

    Scammers usually become very upset when confronted, he took the bait.

    Unless you are a millionaire yourself this stat is unimpressive.

    My laptop is worth much less because prices here tend to decrease over time on technology items, I spent less on my laptop and it is probably newer with more features.

    It's been a while since Russia has beaten Canada in hockey for a medal/title game. Canada has won the world junior championships 5 straight years.

    PS: I'm in Canada - not the USA - we are two different countries.
