PR Newswire (US)

CAMDEN, Maine, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Camden National Corporation (NASDAQ: CAC; "Camden National" or the "Company") reported net income of $21.9 million and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.29 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, resulting in a return on average assets of 1.28%, a return on average equity of 12.58%, and a return on average tangible equity (non-GAAP) of 18.17%."Our reported net income of nearly $22 million for the first quarter reflects the benefits of the acquisition we completed last year, including our ability to efficiently scale the combined organization and accelerate our strategy to grow and strengthen our franchise," said Simon Griffiths, President and Chief Executive Officer of Camden National Corporation. "We delivered solid performance in the first quarter through strong asset quality, expense management and deposit growth. Looking ahead, we remain focused on sustained growth and disciplined execution as we continue to meet our customers' evolving needs through advice-based conversations."FIRST QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTSNet income for the first quarter was $21.9 million, compared to $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $22.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 ("linked-quarter"). On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $21.9 million, compared to $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $22.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of 39% and a linked-quarter decrease of 3%.Diluted EPS for the first quarter was $1.29, compared to $0.43 for the first quarter of 2025 and $1.33 for the fourth quarter of 2025. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.29, compared to $0.93 for the first quarter of 2025 and $1.33 for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of 39% and a linked-quarter decrease of 3%.The GAAP efficiency ratio for the first quarter was 55.50%, and the non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 53.21%, compared to 54.16% and 51.69%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2025.Book value per share was $41.98 and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $30.58 at March 31, 2026, representing increases of 11% and 18%, respectively, compared to March 31, 2025.The Company repurchased 33,131 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average price of $44.85 during the first quarter of 2026.FINANCIAL OPERATING RESULTS (Q1 2026 vs. Q4 2025)Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $52.4 million, a decrease of 3% from the fourth quarter of 2025. Net interest margin contracted 5 basis points to 3.24% during the first quarter, driven by lower fair value mark accretion income of $956,000 and a 1% decline in average interest-earning assets compared to the prior quarter. Core net interest margin was 2.92% for the first quarter of 2026 and the fourth quarter of 2025.Provision expense was $553,000 for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. Asset quality remained solid during the first quarter, as highlighted by an annualized net charge-offs-to average-loans ratio of 0.04% at March 31, 2026, compared to 0.26% on a quarterly basis at December 31, 2025.Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $12.0 million, compared to $14.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease between quarters was driven by a decline in debit card income, reflecting the timing of recognition of our annual Visa incentive bonus and typical debit card seasonality, as well as lower customer loan swap income and deposit-related service charge income, which we anticipate will normalize in the second quarter of 2026.Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $35.7 million, a 3% decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The linked-quarter decline was primarily driven by the timing of certain retirement plan costs related to former Northway employees that were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2025, and lower performance incentive accruals and regulatory assessment fees. The Company's GAAP and non-GAAP efficiency ratios for the first quarter of 2026 were 55.50% and 53.21% compared to 54.16% and 51.69%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2025.FINANCIAL CONDITIONTotal assets were $7.0 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.Investments totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 2026, representing a 3% decrease from December 31, 2025.Total Loans were $5.0 billion at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, reflecting typical seasonal patterns for the first quarter. The Company entered the second quarter with a committed loan pipeline of $128.3 million.The Company's asset quality continues to be strong, supported by healthy credit metrics, including past-due loans of 0.06% of total loans and non-performing assets of 0.16% of total assets. The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans increased one basis point during the quarter to 0.92% of total loans at March 31, 2026. The ACL coverage ratio was 4.2 times non-performing loans at March 31, 2026, compared to 6.4 times at December 31, 2025.Deposits totaled $5.6 billion at March 31, 2026, representing a 1% increase from December 31, 2025, driven by the success of the Company's high-yield savings product and recent onboarding of new business deposit customers. The increase in deposits enabled the Company to reduce higher-cost, short-term borrowings by $68.3 million during the quarter. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's loan-to-deposit ratio was 89%, compared to 90% at December 31, 2025.As of March 31, 2026, the Company maintained capital ratios well in excess of all regulatory requirements, including a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 12.01%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 13.32%, a total risk-based ratio of 14.27%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.43%.The Company announced a cash dividend of $0.42 per share, representing an annualized dividend yield of 3.54%, based on the Company's closing share price of $47.45 as reported by NASDAQ on March 31, 2026.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include increased competitive pressures; inflation; ongoing competition in labor markets and employee turnover; deterioration in the value of Camden National's investment securities; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; changes in the interest rate environment; changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity, fraud, pandemics and natural disasters; legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business in which Camden National is engaged; turmoil and volatility in the financial services industry, including failures or rumors of failures of other depository institutions which could affect Camden National's ability to attract and retain depositors, and could affect the ability of financial services providers, including the Company, to borrow or raise capital; actions taken by governmental agencies to stabilize the financial system and the effectiveness of such actions; changes to regulatory capital requirements; changes in the securities markets and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in Camden National's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as updated by other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Further, statements regarding the potential effects of notable and global current events, including hostilities in Iran and recent rulings on the permissibility of certain tariffs, on the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond the Company's control. Camden National does not have any obligation to update forward-looking statements.USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURESIn addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), management supplements this evaluation with certain non-GAAP financial measures such as: adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted return on average assets; adjusted return on average equity; pre-tax, pre-provision income; adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income; return on average tangible equity and adjusted return on average tangible equity; the efficiency and tangible common equity ratios; core net interest margin; and tangible book value per share. Management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of measuring our performance against our peer group and other financial institutions and analyzing our internal performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company's operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons to other financial institutions. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP operating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other financial institutions. Reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in this document.ANNUALIZED DATACertain returns, yields and performance ratios are presented on an "annualized" basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. Annualized data may not be indicative of any four-quarter period and is presented for illustrative purposes only. Selected Financial Data(unaudited)

Camden National Corporation Announces Another Record with Fourth Quarter 2025 Net Income of $22.6 Million and Diluted EPS of $1.33January 27, 2026 1:15 PM
PR Newswire (US)

CAMDEN, Maine, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Camden National Corporation (NASDAQ: CAC; "Camden National" or the "Company") today reported earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, of $22.6 million and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.33, both increases of 6%, when compared to the third quarter of 2025. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported a return on average assets of 1.28%, a return on average equity of 13.01%, and a return on average tangible equity (non-GAAP) of 19.06%."We are delighted to report record-breaking quarterly performance, powered by strong execution of our strategic initiatives and continued expansion of our net interest margin, reaching 3.29% for the fourth quarter," said Simon Griffiths, president and chief executive officer of Camden National Corporation. "Our balance sheet remains exceptionally strong and credit metrics continue to trend favorably. I extend my sincere thanks to our colleagues, whose dedication to our customers and communities has positioned us for an outstanding 2026 and an even brighter future. We are more confident than ever in our strategy to build the premier community bank in Northern New England, and our strong 2025 financial results provide a powerful foundation for the growth and opportunities ahead."For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported net income of $65.2 million and diluted EPS of $3.84, increases of 23% and 6%, respectively, over the year ended December 31, 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $74.4 million and adjusted diluted EPS was $4.39, increases of 39% and 20%, respectively, over the year ended December 31, 2024.HIGHLIGHTSNet income totaled $22.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 6% over the third quarter of 2025, and, on a non-GAAP basis, pre-tax, pre-provision income increased 6% over the same period to $31.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025.Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 13 basis points over the third quarter of 2025 to 3.29%, and core net interest margin increased 10 basis points over the same period to 2.92%.GAAP efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 54.16%, while the non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 51.69%, reflecting our strong revenue momentum and our continued disciplined expense management.Book value per share increased 3% from September 30, 2025 to $41.16 as of December 31, 2025, and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased 4% during the same period to $29.69 at year-end.On January 8, 2026, the Company announced a new share repurchase program for up to 850,000 shares of the Company's common stock, or approximately 5% of its outstanding stock as of December 31, 2025.FINANCIAL OPERATING RESULTS (Q4 2025 vs. Q3 2025)Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 5% over the third quarter of 2025 to $53.9 million. The increase was driven by a 13 basis point expansion in net interest margin to 3.29% for the fourth quarter. This notable margin improvement was fueled by an 11 basis point reduction in the Company's funding costs during the quarter.Provision expense totaled $3.0 million for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2025. The provision expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily attributable to net charge-offs of $3.2 million for the quarter, driven by a $3.0 million charge-off due to the short sale of a large commercial real estate loan that had been designated as a classified asset for nearly two years. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we were presented with the opportunity to exit this asset. After a thorough assessment, we determined exiting the asset was the most prudent and proactive step to limit potential future exposure and further strengthen the Company's credit profile. The transaction closed late in the fourth quarter of 2025.Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $14.1 million, remaining consistent with the third quarter of 2025. Assets under administration within our wealth and brokerage businesses grew organically by 11% during 2025, totaling $2.4 billion as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recognized its annual Visa incentive bonus of $979,000 and higher customer loan swap fees of $366,000 on a linked-quarter basis.Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $36.9 million, and our GAAP and non-GAAP efficiency ratios were 54.16% and 51.69%, respectively. Non-interest expense increased $933,000 on a linked-quarter basis as we recognized certain retirement plan costs for former Northway employees, higher performance incentive accruals due to strong annual Company financial performance, higher health insurance costs, and elevated technology-related costs primarily due to the timing of annual maintenance contracts and ongoing investments in our customer-facing technology platforms.FINANCIAL CONDITIONAs of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, total assets were $7.0 billion. Total assets grew 20% during 2025, primarily due to the acquisition of Northway Financial, inc. ("Northway") and its subsidiary Northway Bank, on January 2, 2025, which bolstered the Company's presence in New Hampshire.Investments totaled $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 2% since September 30, 2025. The duration of the bond investment portfolio at December 31, 2025 was 5.1 years.As of December 31, 2025, loans totaled $5.0 billion, a 1% decrease from September 30, 2025, and for the year ended 2025, loans grew organically 2%. Commercial loan balances decreased $62.0 million during the fourth quarter, primarily due to the $35.9 million decrease in municipal loans. We continued to see strong momentum within our home equity loan portfolio, which grew 6% during the fourth quarter of 2025 and grew organically 18% for the year ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, our committed loan pipeline totaled $110.3 million, 60% higher than a year ago.The Company's asset quality remains strong as of December 31, 2025, supported by its healthy credit metrics, including non-performing assets at 0.10% of total assets and past-due loans at 0.16% of total loans. The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans was 0.91% of total loans at December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025. The ACL on loans was 6.4 times non-performing loans at December 31, 2025, compared to 5.5 times at September 30, 2025.Deposits totaled $5.5 billion on December 31, 2025, an increase of 2% since September 30, 2025. The growth was driven by a 3% increase in non-maturity deposits, reflecting continued growth in our high-yield savings product and interest checking during the fourth quarter of 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's loan-to-deposit ratio was 90%, compared to 93% at September 30, 2025.As of December 31, 2025, the Company's regulatory capital ratios exceeded all regulatory requirements, including a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.69%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 13.00%, a total risk-based ratio of 13.95%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.12%. The Company's regulatory capital ratios continue to rebuild following the Northway acquisition in the first quarter of 2025.On December 16, 2025, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.42 per share, representing an annualized dividend yield of 3.87%, based on the Company's closing share price of $43.38 as reported by NASDAQ on December 31, 2025, payable on January 30, 2026, to shareholders of record on January 15, 2026.Q4 2025 CONFERENCE CALLCamden National will host a conference call and webcast at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, to discuss its fourth quarter 2025 financial results and outlook.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include increased competitive pressures; inflation; ongoing competition in labor markets and employee turnover; deterioration in the value of Camden National's investment securities; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; changes in the interest rate environment; changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity, fraud, pandemics and natural disasters; legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business in which Camden National is engaged; turmoil and volatility in the financial services industry, including failures or rumors of failures of other depository institutions which could affect Camden National's ability to attract and retain depositors, and could affect the ability of financial services providers, including the Company, to borrow or raise capital; actions taken by governmental agencies to stabilize the financial system and the effectiveness of such actions; changes to regulatory capital requirements; changes in the securities markets and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in Camden National's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as updated by other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Further, statements regarding the potential effects of notable and global current events on the Company's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond the Company's control. Statements relating to the Company's acquisition of Northway may also be forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include the reaction to the transaction of the Company's customers, employees and counterparties; customer disintermediation; expected synergies, cost savings and other financial benefits of the transaction might not be realized within the expected timeframes or might be less than projected; and credit and interest rate risks associated with Camden's and Northway's respective businesses, customers, borrowings, repayment, investment and deposit practices. Camden National does not have any obligation to update forward-looking statements.USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURESIn addition to evaluating the Company's results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), management supplements this evaluation with certain non-GAAP financial measures such as: adjusted net income; adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted return on average assets; adjusted return on average equity; pre-tax, pre-provision income; adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income; return on average tangible equity and adjusted return on average tangible equity; the efficiency and tangible common equity ratios; core net interest margin; and tangible book value per share. Management utilizes these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of measuring our performance against our peer group and other financial institutions and analyzing our internal performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company's operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons to other financial institutions. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP operating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other financial institutions. Reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in this document.ANNUALIZED DATACertain returns, yields and performance ratios are presented on an "annualized" basis. This is done for analytical and decision-making purposes to better discern underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. Annualized data may not be indicative of any four-quarter period and is presented for illustrative purposes only.Selected Financial Data(unaudited)

CACQ--ready to pop higher

http://blogs.wsj.com/bankruptcy/2016/02/18/caesars-bankruptcy-end-may-be-in-sight/

Probably a good idea to wait n watch...GLTU

Holly cow I'll do more reading, thanks for clarifying, I'll wait till the Q then if it ever happens

When CACQ first came out I questioned why they used a Q in they symbol...they wiping out of the shares could be intentional, yet they would never admit to it. CZR is one that has the issues is my understanding, yet I could be wrong.

Distressed stocks never seem to perform as we expect, yet, I am long both and looking to reenter today sometime...we will see.

If CACQ goes into BK, I wonder what the symbol would be...CACQQ? or keep it the way it is...confusing plays.

This could be true, but there is a big difference between GGP AND CACQ. GGP had a long history of stock trading prior to it filing for bankruptcy, I would understand if a company like that wants to keep its reputation and keep its loyal stock traders. CACQ has been trading stocks since 2012, if I was the CEO I would cancel all the shares. What do you think detearing?

Researching and waiting, detearing is the the boss!

Glad I sold end of 2014. $$$$

9.35 added...

Added around $11...CACQ

$10.5 looking to add if it drops...

CACQ great stock with positive future. Big upside imo.

Good news CACQ.

Upside is capped czr has the right to buy it back at 17$ read the offering..

$19.35 up 9%

$19.18 CZR 8.17% pop...

No news....last news a few days ago was media blasting restructuring was eminent...lol

What a joke, the manipulation on this stock in the worst one in my portfolio...the games people play to get retail to sell...makes me wonder in the two big holders are responsible...

$14 pullback...still holding.

Wow...great AH news...South Korea preliminary approval for first casino.

16.36 cacq and keeps a climbing.

Got in at $8.64 and it reminds me of a company I own that is currently around $150...did a shakeout on me, but held.

Interesting cause they use Q in the name, which scared me off at first but still pulled the trigger...CZR is a great brand and this somehow is taking some casino's and all the online gaming, which has huge upside...exciting potential...could move like Sands...real fast when it hits $20's.

Verrrrrrry interesting company here :)

Glad I stumbled upon it

$16.19 CACQ up 6.4%

I think CACQ has potential that CZR may not have...from my understanding there are things to be gained by doing this process...

I will try to expound later...

Can you elaborate? Do you see czr becoming cacq by selling away assets to the cacq subsidiary and eliminating the company of debt?

$14.74 CACQ up over 4%

Happy I be...I be only Ihub here...lol

$14.35 CACQ - this reminds me of Howard Hughs Corp which I got when GGWPQ turned into General Growth Properties...GG#.

This could help negotiate or eliminate union powers of Caesars...

Now would that not be sumthin' if this went to $125...I have see stranger...

$14.52 CACQ High of Day - sweet!

$14.34 CACQ UP BIG TODAY...SO GLAD I DID NOT SELL ON THE MEDIA BLITZ REGARDING RUMORED RESTRUCTURING BY A "reliable source".

Amazing how CZR and this pops after such news...bears never eat crow...sure they got a few clicks, but the authors have no shame.

I may be only long from Ihub here. I got in on CZR stock offering at $8.64. So not selling this. Rather I am looking to add on this recent pullback. I own all major casino stocks...

Anyone here? I am looking to jump in soon. It seems like this has nearly all of the upside and little risk/downside compared to the other leisure stocks out there. Any thoughts?

13.56 holdimgv strong...

Up 6.8% CACQ

This stock will surprise many, it did me...glad I bought at $8.64 my full boat...

CACQ $13.64 up over 4.3%

13.11 up over 6% CACQ sleeper..get aboard the green train!

$11.99 CACQ just chuggin' along...

Britney news was on GMA..making her Las Vegas debut...great exposure for both CACQ CZR.

Love the fact l got all my shares at $8.64.

Good news about Planet Hollywood with Britney and AXIS...

Up over 3% to $12.14 NICE!

I like the ferris wheel they are constructing...saw it first hand...and it is a dandy!

Caesars Casino on Facebook Says Merry Christmas and Grinches Players Out Of Billions of Chips

FACEBOOK, Dec. 11, 2013 -- Early in the morning on Dec. 10, 2013, Caesars Casino on Facebook changed their homepage graphics to a Christmas scene and started playing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" on the app home page. Caesars on Facebook sells chips but like Zynga games, there's no way to cash out. But many people buy chips for the excitement of being a high roller, even if it's just for fun.

Caesars features continuous slot tournaments with prizes for the top players. There's no entry fee and a percentage of the chips spent goes in the jackpot which keep rising until the end. Previously, 1 billion chips was the maximum prize. But lo and behold, on this Christmas morning (albeit very early) the jackpots on the contests were 5 billion, 10 billion, all the way to 81 billion chips! A magical Christmas gift indeed! Players went crazy, playing high stakes and long hours to win massive jackpots. The billion chip contests continued for 12 hours, from 4am to 4pm Pacific. An amazing day and Caesars showed remarkable holiday spirit.

Until this morning. Players were greeted with 90% or more of their chips having vanished. A few hours later, Caesars posted a message on their https://www.facebook.com/CaesarsCasino page:

---Contest Payout Discrepancy---
On 10th December 2013, between 4am & 4pm PST, contests winners were mistakenly paid 100 times more Coins than their actual prize. We are very sorry for this error and for any misunderstanding this may have caused.

To maintain the rules of contest fairness, the accounts of the prize winners will be updated with their correct prize amount. Due to this glitch we are also adding an additional 50% compensation to your contest win.

We sincerely apologize for this error to anyone who has been effected [sic]. Thank you for your understanding.
—Caesars Casino—

Immediately players began responding to the extraordinary step of just taking billions of chips out of their accounts. Instead of considering the damage to their reputation with paying players, instead the moderators began deleting comments responding to the announcement with a fever. After hundreds of comments were posted and deleted, Caesars deleted the original post and all comments and reposted with the misspelled "effected" corrected. They continue to delete comments.

Caesars is wrong on many levels. Most importantly, the contests paid exactly what they said they would pay. Many players bought chips to play in the tournaments, which had all the prizes clearly marked like this:



This wasn't a fast accident, it went on for 12 hours. Players competed for these huge prizes because that's what they said the prizes were. Winners were greeted with winning messages and the chips were deposited.

Example comments posted as replies to the ---Contest Payout Discrepancy--- posting:

Richard Anderson -- The payouts were not a "mistake". They were listed as a prize, and we played to win the listed prizes. We even bought tokens in order to win the larger prizes. And when we won, the prizes were added to our accounts. But today you just yanked the tokens out of our accounts. I went from 2.7 Billion to less than 13 Million, having paid REAL MONEY to purchase more tokens than that! When you accepted my money in exchange for tokens used to play in a contest, you accepted a contract. By retroactively changing the payouts, you breached that contract.

James Rowan -- I won BIG yesterday,I also spent time playing that I would not of if it not been for Caesars advertised winnings.They taketh away 3.5 Billion points and many hours of play.This is FRAUD.

Samantha A. Christian -- Plus there were no "mistaken payouts". The tournaments were listed as 1b - 400b (the 2 hour one). It paid out EXACTLY how it was listed and EXACTLY how it was described on the website. So it is not like the tournament was listed as 1m-400m and paid out 100X what was said. NOPE! It paid out exactly what was listed and described. This means all payouts were legitimate.

Alvin Taylor -- I played last night and played hard because I thoiught it was a gimmick to get more people to play . they took 2 and a half billion from me. Won't play this again . Will go to another sight. Who ever is in charge of this site , shame on you. You make the mistake and I pay. Wouldn't have play this much if it was regular plays. I agree that this is how the grinch stole christmas.

Caesars has handled this poorly. If they can simply change the rules and take away winnings, what will this mean for paying customers? Caesars needs to do the right thing and return players' winnings or risk ruining their online reputation, which the company is banking on to help mitigate their serious debt problems.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Nov. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 26, 1979, Caesars Atlantic City first opened its doors.

Starting at 6 pm tonight, consumers 21 or older inside New Jersey's borders and who have been vetted through our responsible gaming screening can log onto CaesarsCasino.com, HarrahsCasino.com or WSOP.com to play poker, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, video slots and video poker as part of the soft launch.

Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (CIE), the online arm of Caesars Acquisition Company (CAC) (Nasdaq: CACQ), is offering three distinct brands right out of the gate.

Both the Caesars and the Harrah's names will become the longest-running casino brands in New Jersey to offer online gaming, and the World Series of Poker is the longest-running poker brand in existence, with roots dating back to 1970. WSOP.com launched real-money online poker in Nevada two months ago.

"We are excited to be launching three of the most iconic U.S. gaming brands online for those inside New Jersey borders," said CIE Senior Vice President Geoffrey Stewart. "With industry-leading technology and the loyalty benefits of our Total Rewards and Action Club programs, we know consumers will quickly see why CaesarsCasino.com, HarrahsCasino.com, and WSOP.com are some of the best places to play online casino games for real money in the Garden State. The fun and action found online will reflect what our players have come to expect from our land-based properties for decades."

When the sites launch tonight, the offering will be in the soft launch stage, a period in which CIE and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (NJDGE) authorities will closely monitor all facets of the operation. The soft launch phase starts with limited hours. November 21-22: 6 pm to 2 am Eastern Time; November 23: 8 am to midnight Eastern Time; and November 24 and 25: Open 24 hours. The NJDGE will have final authority to approve the technology. Once cleared, a full unencumbered launch is expected to occur. CIE expects its offerings to be consistent during and after this phase. The public can play on the site during the soft launch stage.

At launch, CaesarsCasino.com, HarrahsCasino.com and WSOP.com will be available on both PC's and Mac desktop computers. The casino products will be web-browser based offerings, while WSOP.com, as is in Nevada, is a downloadable software product that is saved to a player's desktop. Mobile versions of all three offerings are expected in the coming months.

Consumers can log onto CaesarsCasino.com, HarrahsCasino.com and WSOP.com right now to register for an account. To follow the latest from each of our sites, please follow us on Twitter by adding @CaesarsOnline (www.twitter.com/CaesarsOnline), @HarrahsOnline (www.twitter.com/HarrahsOnline) and @WSOPcom (www.twitter.com/WSOPcom).

To power CaesarsCasino.com, CIE has partnered with Amaya Gaming. Amaya is a Montreal, Canada headquartered company founded in 2004 and a leading provider of technology-based gaming solutions to the regulated gaming industry.

For the HarrahsCasino.com and WSOP.com offerings, CIE has partnered with 888 Holdings, Inc. 888 also powers CIE's online offerings in Nevada. 888 Holdings was founded in 1997 and is based in Gibraltar.

Customer Loyalty Program

Caesars has an industry-leading customer loyalty program called Total Rewards, which operates in a similar manner to other loyalty programs in other industries, rewarding customers with benefits that matter most to them, both with tier status upgrades as well as award redemptions based on point accumulation. The Caesars database currently has 44 million members in the program and this program will be extended into the online space through CIE.

CaesarsCasino.com & HarrahsCasino.com: Customers will be able to earn loyalty benefits for their play utilizing Caesars Entertainment's industry-leading loyalty program. Total Rewards members signing up for any of CIE's online real-money offerings will be able to continue earning Reward Credits toward their tier status for their online play while also earning Reward Credits for use at any Total Rewards casino. Rewards Credits can be used both in land-based venues and online. Benefits include the ability to use points for discounted room nights, dining credit, show tickets and merchandise across all Caesars properties.

WSOP.com: Following the lead of Total Rewards, WSOP.com will utilize its own loyalty program already launched in Nevada, called the Action Club, and will recognize and reward online poker players with loyalty points (WSOP Points) for each hand or tournament they play. The Action Club Rewards currency can be redeemed for cash to buy into online ring games or tournaments or they can be converted into Rewards Credits to use for discounted room nights, dining credit, show tickets, merchandise or even WSOP tournament buy-ins across all Total Rewards casinos. Plus they can be turned into dollars for those who wish to keep them online. Additionally, given the close ties with Total Rewards, Action Club members will have the ability to earn casino status in the Total Rewards program based on their online play. The simplicity, transparency and association with Total Rewards, plus competitive and easy to redeem rewards make the Action Club a premier loyalty program.

Promotions

In terms of promotions, CIE is expected to provide some of the best offers in the business. Each of our three sites will offer unique opportunities for those participating, with each website providing all the latest promotions and details under its "promotions" page.
