to US investors
The Proposed Merger between PartyGaming and bwin relates
to the shares of a foreign company and is subject
to the disclosure requirements of a foreign country

information of US companies or companies whose financial

and some or all of its officers and directors are
residents of countries other than the United States.
Investors may not be able to sue a non-US company

by Rule 802 under the Securities Act and in reliance
on available exemptions from any state law registration
requirements. The securities of PartyGaming and bwin
have not been, and will not be, registered under the
Securities Act or under the securities laws of any
jurisdiction of the United States.

be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology,
including the terms “believes”, “estimates”,

forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions
regarding PartyGaming’s, bwin’s and/or the
Enlarged Group’s present and future business
strategies and the environment in which PartyGaming,

future. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors

Press Release
bwin
and PartyGaming present details on the merger (bwin
release)
23rd
December 2010
Announcement
by bwin Interactive Entertainment AG (“bwin”)
Below is the text of an announcement issued today
by bwin.
bwin
and PartyGaming present details on the merger
bwin.party
digital entertainment will be the world’s largest
publicly listed online gaming provider.
Vienna,
23 December 2010 - The merger plan presented by bwin
Interactive Entertainment AG and PartyGaming Plc will
create the world's largest publicly listed online
gaming group – a group that will be ideally positioned
to take advantage of the rapid consolidation of the
online gaming industry and to open up new markets
around the world. The annual synergies resulting from
this merger are expected to total approximately 55
million Euros: it is anticipated that about three
quarters of this amount will be achieved in the financial
year 2012, with full synergies from 2013.
Brands
to be retained
“The online gaming industry is going through
a phase of consolidation, making market players’
size and geographic diversification more crucial than
ever,” explains Norbert Teufelberger, Co-CEO
of bwin. The new company will operate worldwide with
its existing brands under the name of bwin.party digital
entertainment plc, in which current bwin shareholders
are expected to hold 51.7 per cent of the shares and
current PartyGaming shareholders 48.3 per cent. “Our
products and target markets complement one another
perfectly, and we can continue to expand our technology
lead in all key product segments: sports betting,
poker, casino, bingo and games,” according to
Teufelberger.
Strong
capital structure and customer liquidity
Like PartyGaming in the past, bwin.party will have
its headquarters in Gibraltar and be listed on the
London Stock Exchange. Besides a clear focus on B2C
products, the company will also steadily expand its
B2B and B2G business. “Our many years of online
know-how, healthy balance sheet, and one of the largest
pools of poker liquidity in any regulated market will
make us an attractive business partner,” clarifies
Teufelberger, who will head up the company as Co-CEO
together with Jim Ryan, PartyGaming’s current
CEO. The business operations of bwin in Austria will
be retained, where a newly founded subsidiary, bwin
Services AG will support selected areas of the group
in Vienna.
From
merger plan to completion
The merger plan published today contains full details
of the planned merger, and can be downloaded together
with other documents from bwin’s corporate website
at www.bwin.org. The Executive Board of bwin will
be convening an Extraordinary General Meeting on 28
January 2011 at which it will recommend shareholders
to vote for the merger. Provided the general meetings
of both bwin and PartyGaming approve this merger,
all shareholders holding bwin shares when the merger
becomes legally effective – expected to be towards
the end of the first quarter of 2011 – will receive
12.23 PartyGaming shares denominated in GBP for each
bwin share. This share swap will be carried out automatically
and free of charge.
Any
shareholders not wishing to become shareholders in
bwin.party can sell their shares beforehand on the
Vienna Stock Exchange or exercise their entitlement
to a cash settlement. The amount of the cash settlement
has been set at 23.52 Euros. The exchange ratio and
the cash compensation amount have been confirmed as
adequate by independent experts.
About
bwin
The bwin Group has over 20 million registered customers
in more than 25 core markets. On a number of different
platforms, the Group offers sports betting, poker,
casino games, soft and skill games, as well as audio
and video streams of top sporting events such as the
German Soccer League. The holding company bwin Interactive
Entertainment AG is listed in the ATX on the Vienna
Stock Exchange (ID code BWIN, Reuters ID code BWIN.VI),
and as the parent company provides various services
such as software development, marketing, communications,
human resources and finance for its subsidiaries and
associated companies. The operational business of
the bwin Group is carried out by subsidiaries and
associated companies on the basis of licences (e.g.
Germany, Italy and Gibraltar). Full details about
the Company can be found on its investor relations
website at www.bwin.org.

US
mid-term fears hit PartyGaming
PartyGaming
was one of the big fallers among the FTSE 250 today,
amid speculation over the US elections.
The
online poker giant was down 4% to 251p. The sector
is watching the US mid-term elections closely in order
to gauge what impact they might have.
The
story this morning was that staunch supporter of the
sector and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid might
lose his Nevada Senate seat.
The
latest telephone survey put Reid's rival Sharron Angle
at 49% to Reid's 45%.
Events
across the pond were the key to a subdued market this
morning. At 12 o'clock the FTSE 100 was down just
17 points ahead of US GDP data at 1:30.
Expectations
are for annualised growth of 2%. The pound was at
$1.5901 at midday ahead of the announcement.
Other
movers on the London market this morning included
Centrica up 2% to 329p.
Prudential
was up slightly, 0.5p up to 631p, as the positive
sentiment from AIA's listing in Hong Kong fed through.
AIA
rose 17% on its debut, with its market value topping
$35.5bn
PartyGaming
gains from European court ruling on German monopoly
Investors
are taking a punt on online gambling companies following
a ruling than German restrictions breached European
law.
The
European Court of Justice ruled there should not be
a state monolopy of sports bets and lotteries in Germany,
potentially opening up new opportunities for the online
gaming groups. PartyGaming shares have climbed 12.9p
to 285.5p on the news while its merger partner - Austria's
Bwin - is more than 6% higher. 888 Holdings is up
1.25p at 41.75p while Sportingbet has added 0.25p
to 67.25p.
Overall,
a positive start on Wall Street has helped support
the FTSE 100, which is now up 29.10 points at 5436.92.
Arm continues to be the top riser, while BP is off
its best levels following the release of its own report
into the Gulf of Mexico disaster, now up 5.95p at

Rocky
Slot Game Hits PartyGaming - Noble
Casino
The
new Rocky slot game has become Playtech’s most
sought after title as online gaming fans flock to
box as Rocky Balboa.
The
great features of Playtech’s video slot have
made the game one of the most popular of all time.
Rocky Slots sets the pace for PartyGaming and Playtech,
with Pink Panther soon to follow.
Rocky
Slots traces the fortunes of the kind hearted south
paw Rocky Balboa from the 1976 film starring Sylvester
Stallone. The game has fast and well designed features
and game play as well as a pounding soundtrack to
match...this really gets the excitement and adrenaline
flowing! Bonus features include a special Knockout
Bonus round where players can pick Rocky’s opponents,
watch a ten round boxing match and win big money.
Playtech
have upped the ante with Rocky Slots as the game features
more advanced graphics, better sound and more sophisticated
detail than other similar games. This makes Rocky
Slots an absolute knock out to play.
The
spinning reels sound like a punch bag to make players
feel that they are hearing Rocky train in his favourite
Philadelphia gym. Players need to spell out ROCKY
on the 5 reels in order to receive an instant 5x total
bet payout. And if you manage to achieve this in the
free spin rounds you will receive a massive 10x total
bet payout!
Perhaps
the more impressive feature of the Rocky Slots game
from Playtech is the Knockout Bonus Round. This is
where players choose from three prize fights to spar
against Rocky in a ten round match – including
the famous film world champion Apollo Creed. The player
watches the stunning fight from a front line seat,
featuring real footage from the fight scenes in the
film.
During
the Knockout Bonus Round players have the chance of
winning up to a 30x total bet payout if Rocky manages
to knock his opponent out in a fast enough time. Go
Rocky!

movie and TV themed slot games, as well as other online

Results Decline Slightly
25th November 2008
Gibraltar-based
online gaming provider PartyGaming has released
its results for the third quarter of the year
showing strong growth in its casino, bingo and
sportsbetting businesses but a decline in revenues
from poker.
PartyGaming
revealed that poker revenues for the third quarter
were down to $65 million from the $76.3 million
it earned during the same period last year. The
firm stated that this was due to lower player
frequency and yield and also reported that nine-month
revenues from poker decreased one percent to $218.9
million.
However,
revenues from its casino business grew 25 percent
to $45.9 million for the third quarter from the
$36.7 million it reported for the same period
last year due to higher player numbers and yields.
Nine-month revenues from its casino business fared
even better by increasing 33 percent to $135.8
million.
In
addition, its sportsbetting division reported
that revenues grew by 19 percent for the quarter
to $5.1 million from the $4.3 million it reported
for the same period last year due to continued
growth in live betting. It declared nine-month
revenues from sportsbetting of $14.1 million,
which was 29 percent up on the $10.9 million it
acknowledged for last year.
Completing
the good news, bingo revenues were up by 143 percent
to $1.7 million for the short-term from the $700,000
announced for 2007’s third quarter due to
a growth in the firm’s UK business. Just
as spectacular, nine-month revenues from bingo
increased 106 percent to $3.7 million from 2007’s
$1.8 million.
Overall,
PartyGaming reported total revenues of $117.7
million for the quarter, which was $300,000 less
than last year’s third quarter, alongside
an eleven percent rise in nine-month results to
$372.5 million.
“We
are making solid progress on executing our strategic
plan, albeit against a challenging economic backdrop
and strengthening US Dollar,” said Jim Ryan,
Chief Executive Officer for PartyGaming.

Party
Gaming CEO Discusses Future of Online Poker, by
Earl Burton - Poker News Daily - 6th January 2009
The
recent news in December of Party Gaming co-founder
Anurag Dikshit’s plea bargain with the U.S.
Department of Justice thrust the company back
into the spotlight. Now, in a December 28th interview
with Financial Times, new Chief Executive Officer
Jim Ryan has announced his plans for returning
the company to the lofty perch it once held.
The
article, written by Roger Blitz, points out that
it has been a very difficult couple of years for
the one-time monolith in the online poker world.
After its initial public offering (IPO) on the
London Stock Exchange in 2005, Party Gaming was
valued at almost £5 billion. Since the departure
of U.S. players due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling
Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006 and the subsequent
decision by then-CEO Mitch Garber to withdraw
from the market, Party Gaming’s value has
fallen to under £1 billion. However, as
Blitz states, there could be “a light at
the end of what has been a long, dark tunnel”
for Party Gaming.
The
light that Blitz refers to is the mid-December
decision by Dikshit to succumb to Department of
Justice pressures and plead guilty to violations
of the Wire Act of 1961. In submitting his guilty
plea, Dikshit paid a $300 million fine and could
face a two year jail term, although sentencing
will not occur until 2010. He continues to assist
the United States Government in its investigations
into online gaming.
In
the article, Ryan - who took over for Gerber in
June of 2008 - states that Party Gaming is currently
in discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice
regarding the company’s liabilities, but
wouldn’t go into great detail. The article
did discuss that the shares of Party Gaming on
the London Exchange have grown to 200 pence each
and that a deal with the U.S. government is looming
sometime this month.
When
asked about the future of the company, Ryan was
upbeat about Party Gaming’s abilities in
not only online poker, but also in a realm of
online gaming options. “This is a marathon,
not a sprint,” Ryan is quoted as saying
in the Financial Times article by Blitz. “We
have been chasing quarterly profits, but the market
has become so competitive, you’ve got to
know where you’re going. We’re not
so much slowing down, but keeping ourselves focused.”
The
three year plan that Ryan has set for Party Gaming
is something that he believes that other online
gaming companies want to do, but his company already
does. The Financial Times quotes Ryan as saying
that the company, since its exodus from the U.S.
market, has built a complete gaming operation
that is focused on all aspects of the online world,
including poker, casino, sports betting, bingo,
and backgammon. “[We offer] different products
with one back office platform,” he explains
in Blitz’s article. “One deposit,
one account – it’s a one stop shop.
That is still the main strategic objective for
a number of our competitors and we have it already.”
Ryan
also states that he sees a day when the online
gaming world will be vastly different than what
is out there today. While poker remains the focus
of Party Gaming, Ryan sees over the next three
years that there will only be five online poker
operators of any consequence. Party Gaming at
this time ranks fourth in that equation - something
that “hurts,” according to Ryan -
but his quote in the Financial Times piece looms
large: “We need to retake the hill and position
ourselves to be that leader again.” (Credit:

Party
Gaming Full-Year Results Released
Poker disappoints in latest financial numbers
March
11, 2009 (InfoPowa News) -- Party Gaming plc may
have started out as a primarily online poker destination,
but the performance of this sector of its wider
group activities was disappointing last year,
judged by the 2008 full-year financials released
this week. Poker net revenues declined by $21
million to $274 million (2007: $295 million).
Elsewhere the outlook was rosier, with online
casino net revenues up $31,8 million to $176 million;
the more recent sportsbetting venture up $1.9
million to $18 million and Bingo up $2.4 million
to $4.9 million.
Total net revenues reached $472.9 million, down
$3.1 million on the corresponding period in 2007
after a "non-recurring net revenue adjustment"
of $18.2 million.
Other highlights included:
* Continuing Clean EBITDA up 29 percent to $144.2
million (2007: $111.7 million); total Clean EBITDA
up 53 percent to $133.3 million (2007: $87.0 million)
* The addition of DM plc and CIRSA to the Party
Gaming portfolio of business-to-business (‘B2B’)
customers
* Cash flow from operations before working capital
movements up 23 percent to $132.5 million (2007:
$107.6 million) with group cash after client liabilities
and progressive prize pools of $70.3 milion.
Commenting on the results, Jim Ryan, PartyGaming
Chief Executive Officer, said:
"We are pleased to announce another strong
set of results with Clean EBITDA from Continuing
operations up 29 percent to $144.2 million. Our
business model is both flexible and robust with
a capacity to generate strong cashflow. Our brands
and market position are strong and we have a healthy
balance sheet with which to execute our business
strategy. I believe that we are in an excellent
position, not just to withstand the macroeconomic
challenges that may lie ahead, but also to execute
our strategy, create value for all of our stakeholders
and achieve our long-term objective of becoming
the world’s most valuable online gaming
company.”
Regarding current trading he added:
“In the 5 weeks ended 4 February 2009, average
gross daily revenue was $1,442,900. In poker,
new player sign-ups increased to an average of
1,494 per day, and there were on average 51,000
active players per day generating average gross
daily poker revenue of $756,700. In casino, gross
revenue was $597,200 per day. In sports betting
gross win per day was $75,700 and in bingo, average
gross daily revenue was $13,200.
In the four weeks ended 4 March 2009, average
gross daily revenue was $1,536,200. In poker,
new player sign-ups averaged 1,550 per day and
there were on average 51,100 active players per
day, generating average gross daily revenue of
$738,500. In casino, average gross daily revenue
was $662,500; in sports betting, average gross
win per day was $123,000; while in bingo it was
$12,200.
“The Group has continued to make good progress
in the first few weeks of 2009 despite the pressures
of a highly competitive market and substantial
year-on-year currency movements.”
