dollar deal and has reinstated the site as a skin of PartyPoker.com.

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. Shares of Party Gaming stock are traded on the London Exchange under the

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 1.4
billion dollars prior to the 2005 breakup with Party Gaming.
