Acquisition of Got2bet.com

06/04/2005 8:00am

UK Regulatory


    Gaming Corporation PLC

6th April 2005

Acquisition of Got2bet.com ("Got2bet" or "Go2bet.com")

The Board of Gaming Corporation plc ("Gaming Corp" or "the Company"), the owner
of the UK's number 1 gaming site www.casino.co.uk, announces the acquisition of
Got2bet.com, a leading international Gaming portal.

Got2Bet is one of the most recognized and innovative online gambling portals.
Established in March 2000, Got2Bet is a key source of online casino information
in English and Chinese, with extensive online casino reviews and ratings, news,
and message boards.

For the six months ending 31 January 2005, Got2bet.com generated a net profit of
US$106,340.

Consideration of US$270,000 for the acquisition will be satisfied in cash with
an initial payment of US$120,000 and three equal instalments of US$50,000
payable two months, four months and six months after completion. Further
payments calculated as 50% of the first 6 months profits will also be paid as
part of the consideration.

Got2Bet's pioneering concepts include the progressive jackpot tickers and pull
downs which are now seen all over the internet. Special contests and promotions
are staged on the site such as the Mystery Casino promotion (in conjunction with
Casinomeister.com). Got2Bet was also the first gaming portal to feature a free
Flash-based casino. Its latest innovation was the online ad space auction (with
Casinomeister.com) in which the two sites raised $111,000 from winning bidder
Intercasino.com for tsunami relief efforts.

The founder of Got2Bet, Ted Loh is recognized as one of the leading experts in
the online gambling industry, and in particular for his extensive knowledge of
the Asian market. He has spoken and moderated sessions at more than 15 gaming
conferences in the past three years on topics ranging from Asian marketing to
mobile gambling and affiliate marketing, and has made presentations on Asian
land-based gambling as well.

Justin Drummond, commenting on the acquisition, said;

"Got2bet has an international customer base which opens a new market place for
Gaming Corporation; the application of our technology, marketing and sales
infrastructure will allow Got2bet to grow substantially over the coming months."

"We are very excited to be working with Ted, who is widely regarded as an
industry expert; his advice and knowledge of the online gaming market with be of
significant benefit to the Group".

Ted Loh Commented:

"Got2Bet will benefit strongly from the extensive resources that Gaming

Corporation has at its disposal."

"I am excited at the prospect of working closely with Gaming Corp to take
Got2Bet to new heights which simply would not have been possible without their
support."

Further to our stated strategy of acquiring profitable online gaming operations
the Company will be seeking shareholder approval for authority to issue and
allot further new Ordinary Shares.

Notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company at which the
appropriate resolutions will be proposed is therefore being posted to
shareholders today.
