PartyPoker could soon be under new ownership if rumors circulating are true. Several sources have contacted gambling newsletter Earnings+More claiming the former number one online poker site is deemed surplus to requirements by parent company Entain.

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 11:01:18 +0000

The second largest guaranteed event of the 888poker XL Winter Series crowns is shaping up to be the tournament for value hunters.
