For a considerable amount of time now gaming giant Ladbrokes and HMRC, or Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, have been in litigation over online casino gambling. This is not the first time online casino gambling has started problems. After all, it is a newer entrant into the market and regulations are still being put into place. There has been a tremendous amount of growing pains when it comes to the market and by no means are those over.

The issue between Ladbrokes and HMRC was primarily a taxation issue and the HMRC stated that it did not receive the full amount it was supposed to in revenue back in 2007. In the end, it walked away with £80-million. In addition to the money transferred, there was a bit of a shake up on the management team of Ladbrokes. While Chris Bell was the CEO for more than a few successful years, Richard Glynn was put into the position. The inner details of why the changes was made were not released, but it is a curious time for the company as Bell was a staple in the company for years.
Though it was an unexpected change, it may prove to be lucrative. In the past few weeks the stock value of Ladbrokes has increased. In fact, the company saw more than a 3% increase over the past few weeks. That is great news since Ladbrokes, like most other online casino companies has suffered greatly due to the recession and people’s lack of spending over the past few months. With a new CEO and a long standing litigation over, the company is looking forward to success. Most likely the company will rally quickly as Ladbrokes is a leader in the industry of online and land-based gambling. It has been around for decades and weathered many changes in the market only to continuously come out on top. Only time will tell what the company does in the future, but most likely in a few months the lawsuit and the change in management officials will be nothing more than an additional entry into the company’s lush history.
