                          First Quarter Trading Update



Playtech, the international designer, developer and licensor of software for the
gambling industry, today announces a trading update for the first quarter of
2006.


The Board are pleased to announce a very strong start to 2006 with revenues
ahead almost 150% on the same period in 2005. Playtech's Casino offering,
currently the main revenue generator, made a strong contribution, growing 136%
on Q1 '05 and 34% on Q4 '05. There has been particularly encouraging progress in
the contribution from Poker as the company has focused on developing its
offering.


Commenting on the announcement, Avigur Zmora, Chief Executive Officer, said:


'During the quarter, which has included the Company's IPO, we have significantly
increased revenues across all of our sectors, both year on year and compared to
the previous quarter. Based on this increase, and the underlying growth of
existing clients, we are delighted to have traded in the first quarter of 2006
ahead of market expectations.


'It is particularly encouraging to see that our drive into the exciting and fast
growing Asia Pacific market is showing clear results. Revenue contribution from
this region has more than doubled within the year whilst US players this quarter
contribute approximately 50 per cent of revenues, down from 67 per cent this
time last year. This clearly illustrates the ongoing success of our strategy to
create a more balanced geographical business portfolio.
