BETINTERNET.COM PLC
The Board of betinternet.com plc ('betinternet.com'), the global on-line gaming
group, confirms that, following the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling
Enforcement Bill in the United States last week, its exposure in the United
States market is negligible with less than 0.2% of its active sportsbook
customers last week being from this region. In light of the passing of this
Bill, betinternet.com has decided to suspend the small number of active United
States accounts and will continue to block the opening of any new accounts from
the US. The regional focus of betinternet.com remains in the Far East, where
approximately 60% of its current active clients are located. The board will
continue to monitor developments and endeavour to establish how the Bill allows
for financial transfers to be made to legal gaming activity, such as its pari-
mutuel operation, European Wagering Services.
