    New from 32Red - BetDirect Poker

    Does anyone know, when did this happen? Is it brand new or did they acquire it? It looks like a partial acquisition to me... BetDirect's casino runs on Boss Media software.

    Wow, thanks! I had logged on to my 32red affiliate account and noticed the new banner tag so I was quick to add it to my web site but I was also curious about it because I haven't received any emails about it. I presume they'll email us tomorrow.

    Thanks for the quick reply!
