Confirming rumours that have been swirling for the past three weeks, L&G looks elsewhere
Leisure & Gaming plc, the online betting and gaming group has terminated takeover discussions with CGTV Games Ltd with immediate effect, the firm has announced to the London market.
Originally Canadian-based, CGTV was reportedly interested in acquiring L&G (see previous InfoPowa report), a prospect that surprised many observers given the rumours concerning the software company which have been swirling around the industry for the past three weeks. GCTV acquired the troubled Gambling Federation group last year.

Despite all the pre-auction hype, domain bids fail to meet reserve price
With experts, auctioneers and analysts alike speculating on a new record price for an auctioned domain, there was keen interest in the offers on WallStreet.com when it went up for sale this week (see previous InfoPowa reports)
But disappointingly the highest bid that auction house Monicker.com received for the domain - once an online casino - was only $3 million, which failed to meet the reserve price range of $4-$5 million. The asset was last sold for around $2.3 million, it is believed.

Quite a lot, if it's Wall Street.com....
Once an online gambling domain name, "Wallstreet.com" could raise millions for its present owners if an upcoming auction is successful, reports the Financial Times.
Experts told the UK newspaper this week that the domain could raise as much as $10 million - well up from it's previous record price back in 1999 of $1 million. While Wall Street.com was a stand-alone online gambling venture, the site never quite made the impact that was widely anticipated upon its purchase.
