Paradise announced a while ago that it would be discontinuing as a stand alone site and would merge with the main part of Sportingbet (or something like that).

Its happened today. There are loads more players and the future looks a bit brighter - particularly as they have replaced the 1000 point $2,000 free-roll (1st pays $1000), which I won with a 500 point $2,500 free-roll, first still plays $1,000. I suspect there will be a few more players, but it looks good.

They also have a big Sunday tourny which costs $90 - and this week is $75k guaranteed. I might play a bit more here in due course.

But SCANDAL (!), the new software has resulted in a reduction of my balance from $955 to $954.89 (yeah I know its nothing).

I suspect it has something to do with the fact that they have multiple currencies at the merged site and there is some exchange rate fluctuation, but its a bit worrying.

I have e-mailed Paradise (mainly out of interest) and await its response.

Very curious.
