With the acquisition now finalized, the two sites will again be one and the same
(UK).- Party Gaming has purchased EmpirePoker.com in a 250 million dollar deal and has reinstated
the site as a skin of PartyPoker.com. The merger also included Party Gaming gaining control of
smaller affiliate sites AceClub.com and StarLuckCasino.com.
In October of 2005 Party Gaming announced it was separating from affiliate partnerships of which
Empire was the largest. Prior to this move, the two sites had shared the same games and players,
making them virtually the same online poker room. With the acquisition now finalized the two sites
will again be one and the same.
Party Gaming has been one of the world’s largest online gaming companies since 1997. Along with
online poker they also offer online gaming for both casino and bingo players. Licensing and
regulation is provided by the Government of Gibraltar and Party Gaming is certified by Gamcare in
the United Kingdom. The company has an estimated total value of us$8 billion.
EmpirePoker.com came online in 1999 with the sole purpose of being a PartyPoker skin. Empire
quickly became the largest affiliate site in the online poker industry. Estimates on the company’s
value ranged as high as us$ 1.4 billion prior to the 2005 breakup with Party Gaming.
