PartyGaming IPO off and running

June 28, 2005

LONDON (AP) – Shares of PartyGaming PLC, the world’s biggest online-poker company, rose 11 per cent in their first day of trading Monday on the London Stock Exchange despite concerns of a possible crackdown on Internet gambling in the United States, where most of its players reside.

Shares in Gibraltar-based PartyGaming opened at an offer price of 116 pence (US$2.12) on the London Stock Exchange, valuing the company at 4.64 billion pounds ($8.46 billion). By the end of trading, the share price had risen to 129 pence ($2.35).
