100, sounds funny, I doubt they needed that many to begin with, that is quite alot.

Doug · Nov 15, 2006

Do you want me to paste Roberto's article ?

SportSavant · Nov 15, 2006

im not doubting it at all, just saying sounds like they had a HUGE staff if they are laying off 100 employees,

how many did they have total?

you can stop reading as soon as you see the bold as there is only a 20% chance of it being accurate.

no idea, but it doesn't make sense that 100 were needed for the book part, to service USA customers. Nobody used the book.

22% they added 100...

Added 100...-110

Fired 100...+108

again, I ask....

does anyone know how many employees they had before the Layoff? How about After?

are you actually telling me they employ Hundreds of Clerks?

Considering they didnt even have Phone numbers for the first year and a half, sounds really weird to me.

Thats a lot of cooks!

Santo · Nov 15, 2006

What does make sense, is they no longer have phone customer support for Americans, they'll only talk by email / live chat now I believe.. The phone ratio is probably 1:1 where as live chat is about 1:4 plus at places I know that use it.

Dubpoet · Nov 15, 2006

Didn't they close the sportsbook or something and only offer the exchance?

Doug · Nov 15, 2006

How many are needed by books like CRIS, Pinny,Greek,Wagerweb, Bodog, etc. ?

I forgot about US phone clerks, but there can't be 100 of them !

Good question Doug, not sure.

Dubpoet · Nov 15, 2006

I seem to get the same two people at Pinny when I have to call in a bet.

Its certainly a major event that hasn't gone unseen in Gibraltar, where the total population is 28,000.

I just came back from there tonight (gmt time) from a 2-day visit to operations there.

Layoffs are approximately 35% - 40% of the company's entire workforce.

I don't think it necessarily means anything negative in the immediate, however it would be wrong not to factor this new element in the "risk factor" of Mansion.

Many will recall how many changes in policies and commercial strategies Mansion has gone through ever since its inception.

Fishhead · Nov 15, 2006

My guess it has more to do with the POKER side of their business rather than the SPORTSBOOK side..........no?
