FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 20th September 2001

betinternet.com plc welcomes new gaming  partners

The Chairman and Managing Director of betinternet.com plc, Vincent Caldwell,
has welcomed the successful applications for on-line gaming licences announced
today, to three of the industry's leading operators - MGM Mirage, Sun City,
and Littlewoods Leisure - issued under the Isle of Man On-Line Gaming
Regulations Act.

Mr Caldwell commented: 'As an acknowledged specialist in on-line sports
betting with an established infrastructure, betinternet.com has already been
approached by a number of the licence applicants with a view to acting as a
Manx-based service provider. This infrastructure includes the world's largest
'pari-mutuel' totalisator wagering super-hub, housed at our headquarters here
in Douglas, Isle of Man which is due to go live next month.

'The issuing of on-line gaming licences is a tangible example of the
government's e-commerce vision, a strategy which, as an e-commerce and leisure
business ourselves, we wholeheartedly endorse.

'These licences represent yet another world first for the Isle of Man. The
Manx government has demonstrated its foresight by recognising and embracing
what is now becoming a rapidly expanding global gaming industry - a move that
will undoubtedly further enhance the Island's reputation as a leading, well
regulated and forward thinking jurisdiction. We understand there are
applications for a further nine on-line gaming licences, and given
betinternet.com's expertise and technology already in place, we look forward
to the opportunity to play our part in the development of the Island's
e-commerce industry by working closely with our new gaming partners.'
