"Due to the press launch tomorrow night with Helen Chamberlain in attendance and the marketing campaign finally kicking in this month with cd's, downloads etc in major publications including FHM numbering in the 100's of thousands - should ensure some decent publicity."

Solid day so far.

France, Italy, Austria Told to Open Gaming to Foreign Companies

2006-10-12 06:10 (New York)


By John Rega
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Italy, France and Austria received
European Union warnings to open their gambling industries to
foreign companies or face lawsuits in Europe's highest court.
The gambling cases have gained urgency with the Sept. 15
arrests in France of two executives from BWIN Interactive
Entertainment AG, an Internet bookmaker based in Austria. The
executives, who have been released from custody, are charged
with violating local gambling laws. The company has said French authorities were acting on a complaint by the country's gaming monopoly Francaise des Jeux.
The European Commission, the EU's executive branch in
Brussels, issued the warning to the three countries in a written statement today.
The cases expand the commission's campaign against
obstacles to competition within the 25-nation EU. The agency
says removing internal borders for business has created more
than 2.5 million jobs and 877 billion euros ($1.1 trillion) of wealth since 1993.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP estimated the 2005 total gaming
market in Austria at $485 million, with $3.1 billion in France and $603 million in Italy. Italy is in the midst of opening up its gaming market to foreign operators by licensing more sports betting and horse racing shops and so-called ``remote gaming'' by Internet and telephone.

Double Fusion Ups the Ante, Increases Reach with Playwize Online Poker Game

In-Game Ad Leader Capitalizes on the Enormous Growth and Popularity in Poker with Playwize's Poker Game

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading independent in-game advertising company Double Fusion has further increased the number of games available to its advertiser and agency partners by signing with Playwize Plc to place advertising into its new PC game, Playwize Poker and online game Pokerwize.

Capitalizing on the current international poker craze, Double Fusion's partnership with Playwize further broadens the network's reach to a wider demographic of gamers for the in-game ad company's advertiser partners. Playwize plans to generate huge awareness of the game's launch through a structured roll-out program in conjunction with a number of media outlets.

The game features a totally immersive 3-D environment that includes integrated voice chat and live advice from professional poker players. The most popular poker variations are offered, including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Seven Card Stud, and Five Card Stud. The game's innovative interface creates the most realistic playing environment in an online poker game, allowing players to do everything from raising and lowering bets to taunting rivals, bluffing and even flirting with fellow players.

The agreement will also serve to enhance gamers' experience by making immersive 3D environments more authentic through the integration of brands that players would expect to see in the real world. Players can customize their on-screen avatars from a selection of different player models and outfits, offering unique branding possibilities.

Double Fusion continues to grow our network so that our advertiser partners are reaching the largest, most diverse set of eyes, and not simply reaching the same gamers again and again, said Jonathan Epstein, CEO of Double Fusion. By partnering with Playwize, the creators of one of the most innovative and realistic online poker experiences, the strength of our network increases exponentially.

With Playwize, we've sought to create the next generation in poker games. The variety of gameplay available and the quality 3D settings truly transport gamers from their desks to the poker room, said Foo Katan, CEO of Playwize Plc. Double Fusion's understanding of the gamer experience and their ability to perfectly partner advertiser to game title and ad opportunity will extend the game's realism even further.

Double Fusion is committed to offering its advertiser and agency partners the widest array of advertising opportunities available from any in-game advertising company, to maximizing revenues for its publisher and developer partners, and to building a portfolio of top titles among retail PC and console games, massively multiplayer online games, casual downloadable games, and advanced online games.

Advertisers interested in opportunities within the Double Fusion network, and developers and publishers interested in increasing their per-title revenues through integrated and dynamic ad placement opportunities should visit www.doublefusion.com.

A very good post on AFN, so copied over for reference.



opmoc - 12 Jan'07 - 14:05 - 4461 of 4461


I have recently increased my position at what I consider to be a very good price, for several reasons.

1. This is in effect a start-up company where large investors have injected significant capital at a share price considerably above current levels.

2. The business has gone live and appears to be well on target - and may even be ahead of target.

3. I believe the share price is suppressed for reasons completely unconnected with the progress of the company. These are

(a) US legislation which is almost completely irrelevant as the company never had any plans to target the US market.

(b) The assumption that there would be significant equity dilution at current levels due to the Headstart facility.

(c) Due to (b) I believe that there is in effect a significant short position - maybe even by Headstart or associates. (if I was in the same business as Headstart that is exactly what I would do in order to hedge my own financial position)

4. Foo is no fool. As he himself has very significant equity exposure, he would be highly unlikely to put this at risk of serious dilution. In his original business plan he will or (should have) already raised sufficient capital in order for the company to go live and become cash flow positive assuming that conservative targets were met.

5. If there is no equity dilution, the short positions will need to be closed, and this is a very illiquid stock. The shorts will only be able to be closed at whatever price existing holders are prepared to sell at. I believe most holders of this stock are long term, as true value is highly unlikely to be realised for at least a couple of years.

6. I believe that the capital injected into this company has been well used and not wasted as is the case with many similar companies of this size.

7. I believe the company has significantly more inherent value, than is indicated by its tiny Market Cap.

8. The details of the deal with Partouche have not been revealed but may be significantly better than has been assumed.

This remains a high risk investment, but I think it likely that the shareprice will be considerably higher than current levels in a couple of years time. They could of course go bust in which case I will lose my entire investment - but I think the odds are worth taking balancing the upside potential with the risk of total failure.
