Yoomedia Launches FancyaFlutter.co.uk
By staff
16 December 2004, London. Yoomedia PLC ('Yoomedia'), the interactive entertainment company, has today announced the launch of FancyaFlutter.co.uk. in a move that extends its position at the leading edge of interactive gaming in the UK.

The launch of the new website marks Yoomedia's first step into online gaming, and is an important step in the company's goal to establish its gaming brands across all the major interactive media including Digital TV, the web and mobile phone. Since its launch in February 2003, FancyaFlutter has also enjoyed a prominent position within Sky Active's Betting Zone.


The move also compliments Yoomedia's recent merger with DITG (Digital Interactive Television Group), whose gaming assets include the Avago and William Hill channels on Sky. All of Yoomedia's gaming brands operate in the 'soft', fixed odds gaming market, a sector which has seen massive growth in the last 12 months, particularly among women.


The launch of the online version of FancyaFlutter has allowed Yoomedia to develop better quality, more sophisticated games than are possible over digital interactive television. New features of the online games include animation that improves the visual experience for gamers, a winners area which showcases the latest lucky players and the ability to adjust the volume and picture quality according to the speed of your internet connection. New games include Neptune's Keno, Grand National Keno and Kenosaurus, as well as multi-line slot games, Horror Show and Monte Carlo Millions. The site will also include roulette, Beachball Bingo and scratch card game, Dino Scratch.


Commenting on the launch, David Docherty, Yoomedia's CEO, said: 'The launch of FancyaFlutter.co.uk consolidates Yoomedia's position at the forefront of interactive gaming in the UK. Yoomedia now have a strong presence on all the main interactive platforms, including television, mobile and now online. FancyaFlutter has developed into a strong, popular brand on Sky, and due to the high quality of the games we have developed, and the simple way in which you can play for as little as 10 pence, we expect FancyaFlutter.co.uk to attract large numbers of players in the online world'.


FancyaFlutter.co.uk will be supported with a promotional campaign and will include email, mobile, affiliate and SEO elements as well as partnership promotions.

Lots of buying today-sp recovering, those who are still in should be feeling happier. I hope 30p by Easter!

Good to see the sp recovering - volumes not so high; some positive days at 17p saw no share movement. How do you justify projection of 30p given that would mean cap. of 135M. Have little doubt of potential but suspect it may take quite a bot longer. Shouldn't we have had Evolution statment by now? Letting the CFD position run and may well add to it on positive news.

Eric

What's happened to the Evolution statement? I doubt they've gone shy; more likely gone away with their money!

Eric

Eric,

Your confidence in this company is such they should reward you, but I doubt it as it might take money out of the Directors pockets and that would never do! John

We've been promised--the next Microsoft!! LOL.

john

Confidence in the company is a commodity with which I am left little (that's a nice tortuous statement - a bit like YOO's directors!). I was interested to receive an offer doucment from MLS (Medical Solutions) raising money with some urgency. Half the money via placement, the other half in a one for 10 to existing holders. The YOO's directors statement that they didn't have time for a partial rights issue was a load of codswallop! A lot of us have long memories and are left with a sore head the size of an elephant's!

Eric

Well, finally decided to get out of this. With small rise last week was tempted to hold on and recover my hefty loss but after it fell yesterday I'd had enough.
Better choices elsewhere and I'm >10% up so far this year so sod it, looking to get my money back elsewhere, which of my three flyers shall I top up on, MDW/SEO or IDS?
Good luck to everyone who sticks with this one, I no longer wish to be part of a company that screws its investors and I am happier that I no longer have to look at them in my portfolio. As EW says, could have been done so differently.
Good Luck.

Andysmith...For the short term I cannot blame you but regardless of recent happenings, long term this is still a good investment so I am sticking with it. Out of the 3 other stocks you mention go for SEO. IMHO this is likely to make a packet this year and longer term whoopeeeee!!! SEO have my money as well as NOP another potential ten bagger.

Good Luck.
Diana

Thanks for that, I am a big bull on SEO for reasons you may see on their thread.
I really thought YOO could deliver for me but a big %age loss was getting on my nerves and with others flying I thought I'd get rid and try and recover elsewhere as I think it might take YOO at least 12-18months to show it can deliver. Its on my watchlist though and I may come back in later.
Glad I only dipped my toe in though, %age loss bad, actual dosh loss can live with.

andysmith

I suspect most of the trades I do result from comparing a share I don't hold with one I do. Have just bought SEO today (via CFDs) with funds from extracting myself from a sizeable loss with PET. Down to one CFD with YOO which seems a reasonable way to play them. But SEO start from a smaller cap. and are really on the launch pad. Have decided to retain the interest in YOO until the results and take it from there. But my frustration remains at the treatment meted out to existing shareholders.

Eric

I am completely fed up with YOO. Every time they rise a little they are going to be whacked by some newbie dumping 900,000 chunks onto the market. Have been shafted by YOO and am looking for better climbers elsewhere.

Sell, this will take years if ever to come good.

Poverty,
I'd get rid if I was you, take the hit and move on, it just gets on your nerves and eats away at you otherwise. My tips, SEO, potential ten bagger and MDW.
I have IDS which is flying and I am >150% up on but for real massive potential to recover your losses, it has to be SEO/MDW.

Andysmith- For the longer term this is still a good share, I'm holding out for the future. I totally agree with you though SEO is a future ten bagger and I am certainly in that one for the longer term too.
Diana

I am in for the longer term as the recent deal has made the company a much bigger player and more likely to bring in big investors etc. I have added with fingers crossed!! Talk of SEO needing to raise funds today so although their tec. is good their finances are a little worrying-damages, court case expenses etc. so I'm staying out for a while. lost too much money on a dog called SIP.

I lost money on my PET too!!!!!!

I haven;t caught the SEO bug yet - not too convinced! They are on a cap of 50m already and lots of folks seem to be using this little spike as a chance to hoppit and sell. Reading the SEO BB you'd think they'd found gold under the carpet or something

Interesting comments. I think it all depends what your investment objectives are. YOO is now a medium-termer with potential to climb towards the mid-cap. I suspect a lot of us were looking for a decent killing as they rose towards 100K; that potential has been removed by what I see as an immoral, but unfortunately not illegal, act. That doesn't stop me trading them though and I am holding them in a CFD awaiting a piece of good news.
