Sports Direct Lets 28 Employees Go
April 18, 2007, 10:27 pm (4 years ago)The information portal and forum of the Eye On Gambling, reports that Sports Direct, who is a parent company for the popular information site Covers.com has had to lay off twenty eight of the employees that we employed there which included the handicapping division head known as Shaun Torrey and also the highly respected sports analyst by the name of Stephen Nover. There were several writers that were among those that retrenched in the cuts across numerous departments.
Covers.com has served the industry and also the public for eleven years so the downsizing is sadly a first. EOG actually emphasized that the current lay offs were actually a reflection of the industry and that the lay offs had nothing to do with the individual performances, Covers.com management still has made a comment yet that has been reported.
During the last part of last year and also in the earlier part of this year there were several online gambling companies that carried out job cuts in the waked of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Entertainment Act that took place in the United States of America. Party Gaming.com and 888.com were among the major industry firms that were forced to lay off their staff members as a result of the drop in the United States business which was caused by the act, which actually seeks to disrupt the cash transactions between the players and the online gambling sites. Following the passage of the Act, a number of high profile and also publicly listed companies exited the United States market as well.
