The proposal, which is backed by online gaming giant and PokerStars parent company Amaya Gaming, comes as bwin.party weighs up interest from GVC and rival bidder 888.

GVC refused to comment on the value of its bid, a spokesman saying: “We are still engaged in discussions with bwin and can make no further comment.”
