Amaya – Rational Group Deal Makes Progress (update)
By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated Aug 1, 2014
Amaya shareholders approve Rational Group acquisition
Amaya Gaming shareholders were asked for – and gave – their approval for the Oldford-Rational Group acquisition deal Wednesday at a special general meeting called by the company.
The acceptance of the deal by shareholders is an important step forward in the acquisition process and follows the regulatory approval obtained earlier this week (see previous InfoPowa reports).
Amaya has now obtained all necessary shareholder and regulatory consents for the transaction and both groups will move towards its completion.

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.
We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.
His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
