PartyGaming Facing Lawsuit From Former Partner
Internet gaming group Empire Online announced this week that it has commenced
legal proceedings in the Gibraltar High Court against former partner and current
flavour of the month, PartyGaming. The former firm has reportedly lost more than half of its market value since
PartyGaming put in place an arrangement which ring-fenced its own online poker
players from those of other sites which use its software, and which include
Empire Online. Before the move in October, players on the external sites, known as 'skin sites',
competed against a substantially bigger pool of participants, which included
those using PartyGaming's own site. Empire Online stated on Tuesday that: "The company seeks substantial damages and injunctive relief from PartyGaming."
