Devilfish Poker Going Public

According to a report in the UK newspaper, The Times, Devilfish Gaming, owner of Devilfishpoker.com, will be going public.  The goal is to raise £1 million with the float, which will be on Plus Markets.  After the offering, the company will have a market value of £3.2 million. 

The company is named for David “Devilfish” Ulliott, who, while not on the board, owns the largest chunk of the firm. 27.8 percent.  Kevin Leech, a biotech entrepreneur, is the next largest share holder. 

 Devilfishpoker.com runs on the same software platform as UltimateBet and has 6,000 registered users, although only 700 play for real money.  Unlike UltimateBet, however, Devilfishpoker.com does not accept U.S. customers.
