Wanted to get this out before week one of the football season and BetPhoenix was kind enough to take the time and issue the following statement...
Last July we were approached by Ken Weitzner with regards to a partnership with Eye On Gambling. We brokered a deal for 51% ownership at the time, and left the day to day operations to Ken. Our wish was to remain a silent investor with a silent partner on our end as well.
After Ken's tragic passing we spoke to Weitzner's estate and then considered info on the 49% shareholder's options...Awaiting direction of the shareholders, we leaned towards selling our end to them, but eventually ended up constructing a deal to acquire the other 49%...
In the time when we were looking to sell, we did not put that much activity into the site..Now that we moving in the opposite direction, you will start to see the activities needed to position this site as a great source for gaming info and sports content...
When we met with Ken, we envisioned together a site that promotes great content and a tight community..A place for people to discuss gaming at all levels including the industry both offline and online, and an impartial way for users to find competent ideas to use for their gaming needs...The true objective was a move towards more transparency rather than censorship, and more responsibility from both sides of the counter...
We have thrown those visions over to good hands in John Kelly and VD..This is a new direction and we know that in time it will be a great investment..In one year's time, the landscape of EOG will be vastly changed..Some of the community may go and some may stay...whether that is one visitor next month or one million visitors next month, it will not affect the goals we are trying to achieve...
To all of you at EOG, we thank you for considering the site enough to spend your valuable time here..We hope that the new EOG will be a place where you can come and get involved in the gaming landscape and be respected for your input..
In closing I think it is important to remember that your time, prescence, and voice are of great value..EOG appreciates you taking the time to be here with your voice heard...
Looking at the life of Ken Wietzner, we can see that he was both loved and not so loved by many...Either way, he pursued his path with passion and when he spoke, people listened no matter if they loved him or not, right or wrong...what he said was always heard and he pioneered the gaming forum medium that affords all of us that same benefits today...
