Catena Media has acquired PokerScout.com in connection with new online gaming legislation in the US state of Pennsylvania.
PokerScout is a leading traffic comparison site for the online poker industry. The acquisition is made in connection with the passage of gaming legislation in Pennsylvania, which will open a new market for regulated online poker and casino games.
Catena will improve the usability and visibility of PokerScout and contribute to the brand's continued growth. The purchase price was $350,000.
In addition to the acquisition of PokerScout, Catena already operates multiple media assets in Pennsylvania and owns several domains tailored to the market. These assets are complemented by the company's market-leading portfolio in New Jersey’s regulated online gaming market.
“We are proud of the acquisition of PokerScout, which is the leading traffic comparison site for the online poker industry,” said Henrik Persson Ekdahl, CEO of Catena Media.
“This acquisition is well-timed given that Pennsylvania is set to open the market for online gaming. We hope that more states will follow in Pennsylvania’s footsteps. We have been prepared for a long time and this is a milestone for our continued expansion in the US.”
