release, 16th April 2011

In recent days it has come to our attention that our technology provider, the Melita Gaming Network (Tmg Ltd) based in Malta may have "critical financial problems" following the sudden departure of senior management, including CEO Mr Trevor Ellis and colleagues.

MGN has a contract with On a Roll Ltd, exclusive rights holder in World Series of Backgammon, to provide a 'white label gaming solution for money play, free play and exclusive and networked online tournaments, including payment processing, for its online backgammon brand, PlayWSOB.com".

MGN has not communicated with PlayWSOB except to say "a shareholders meeting has been called to determine the future of the network".

Players money "is safe" and we understand is 'ring-fenced', whilst also protected by the Malta Gaming Commission.

An 'unofficial MGG spokerperson' has described a "legal process being underway". They will not provide any further information at this stage.

We have however attempted to contact a number of key individuals involved with MGG and are awaiting a statement of affairs.

From the WSOB perspective, we are of course extremely surprised by these developments and angry at the extremely concerning lack of dialogue from the Melita Gaming Network or Group.

We are taking legal advice whilst urgently exploring a new technology partner for a home for our 1000s of players to transfer existing accounts. We are excited by very recent discussions with potential new partners who we believe will provide and even better playing experience. In the meantime, we will also secure answers from MGG and MGN, as a matter of urgency, with information about how players' monies will be returned, if this facility is not in place through the client system.

We apologise profusefuly to our players and partners for the inconvenience caused, particularly to players wanting to win seats for the WBF European Championships, one of the world's great tournaments, who we recently partnered with. WBF partnered with us in good faith. We will seek to make a financial compensation of some sort to our players on the restart of PlayWSOB.com on a new gaming platform.

Please do contact support@playwsob.com if you have any specific enquiries. Please do bear in mind we are receiving a high volume of emails at present but will endeavour to answer enquriries as fast as possible as and when we receive information from Melita Gaming.

Ends.
