Due to the 3% creep rule, MIXI cannot acquire additional shares for six months. This means the next expansion of its stake will have to wait until 2026, leaving room for market speculation on how the strategy evolves.<\/p>\n<h2>The Betr Question<\/h2>\n<p>While MIXI\u2019s deal brings stability, Betr\u2019s earlier interest in PointsBet still lingers in conversations. The U.S. fantasy sports and betting company had made a competing all-scrip takeover offer, which PointsBet ultimately dismissed. PointsBet cited cash concerns and \u201cunattractive\u201d business aspects as reasons for turning away Betr\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n<p>MIXI has been very clear on where it stands regarding any collaboration with Betr. The company stated:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAmongst other things, this means that Betr will not be able to achieve control of PointsBet nor realise the synergies estimated in its replacement bidder\u2019s statement. MIXI does not intend to engage (nor to procure PointsBet engages) in any such collaboration with Betr.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/mixi-takes-control-of-pointsbet-after-shareholder-approval\/\">MIXI Takes Control of PointsBet After Shareholder Approval<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ownership landscape in Australia\u2019s gaming market has shifted once again.
