Nice to see some interest today and moving upwards price :)

A 100K MM buy is good to see as well :)

Solid day, lets hope this keeps up. With site live launch and marketing starting, hopefully, late September, we should be around the 16p levels at that time I would hope.

Fingers crossed this is the turn.

Beta testing has been completed now, successful, which is great news, and Beta 2 testing starts in August, which should roll on to soft launch and final launch :)

All going to plan, lets hope that by March 07 we are looking at an SP above 50p, which it should be on success of the project start up.

PLW could be an attractive take over, low market cap, diversify into 3d technolgy????????????????

Online gaming predators look to mirror PartyGaming
Thu 03 Aug, 2006 14:07


By Pete Harrison

LONDON (Reuters) - PartyGaming's acquisition of Gamebookers could be the model for other deals this year in Europe as Internet gaming groups seek to diversify away from the United States and take advantage of low share prices in the sector.

About $2 billion (1 billion pounds) was wiped off the value of London-listed gaming stocks in a few days last month, after the FBI moved to shut down the U.S. operations of BETonSPORTS.

Shares in the sector, with sales of $12 billion a year, are also suffering the impact of legislation in Congress aimed at banning Internet gaming altogether.

But sector leader PartyGaming is still increasing revenues at around 50 percent a year and about $1 billion is wagered on its PartyPoker website each week.

On Thursday the group announced a move into online sports betting with the 102 million-euro purchase of Antigua-licensed and Bulgaria-operated Gamebookers.

"Valuations in the sector are attractive relative to underlying growth rates," said Investec analyst Matthew Gerard. "PartyGaming and 888 Holdings have been keen to move into non-U.S. sports betting for some time."

One London banker said that uncertainty in the United States had put a hold on any deals that involved U.S. business, but Europe was still considered safe.

"The U.S. situation heightens demand to diversify away from there, and there are gaming deals being worked on right now in Europe, both online and offline," he said.

Excapsa seeks new buys
Wed Aug 16, 2006 11:54 AM BST

LONDON (Reuters) - Online gaming company Excapsa Software Inc. (XCPq.L: Quote, Profile, Research) remains intent on buying a casino software developer after swinging into the black with its interim results, said Chief Executive Jim Ryan.

"We are actively pursuing casino software -- we would like to buy a casino software developer and extend our offering," he told Reuters in an interview.

Canada-based Excapsa flagged its aim to make an acquisition and broaden its casino-style games offering after floating on Alternative Investment Market in February.

Earlier Wednesday, Excapsa posted pretax net income of $16.8 million (9 million pounds) for the six months to the end of June after a loss of $431,000 a year ago.


The turnaround came after Excapsa renegotiated a licensing deal for poker software with eWorld, operator of UltimateBet.com.

Based on proforma figures, which calculate 2005's figures had the deal been in place for the full year, the company posted a 27 percent rise in net income.

Ryan said he did not expect the U.S. court action against former BETonSPORTS (BSS.L: Quote, Profile, Research) Chief Executive David Carruthers to have a long-term impact on the sector.

BETonSPORTS removed Carruthers from his job following his detention in Texas last month on racketeering charges, triggering a widespread sell-off in online gaming stocks. Lawmakers in the United States are seeking to outlaw most forms of Internet gambling.

He believes the U.S. will seek to increase legislation to control online gaming rather than seek to ban it altogether.

Ryan said Excapsa intends to launch an online blackjack tournament in the third quarter following the recent launch of poker games that can be played on mobile phones.

Shares in Excapsa were up 1.6 percent to 62-1/2 pence in midday trading, valuing the company at around 124 million pounds.

"We are quite bullish and optimistic the legislation will not pass in this session of Congress," said Ryan

A nice write up I had not seen before :

http://www.professional-poker.com/news/2006/jul/535-pokerwize-3d-poker.htm

I would hope that this coming week there should be some news at least on the latest developments, fingers crossed that its the start of the start of the new PLW :)

It appears news is due on the launch events this week or next.

Bottom seems to have been hit, and bouncing back now.

Site launch is later this month and Foo Katan said "we will have revenue coming in from September launch" its reported.

Great potential here, with a risk of course. Might be the time to load up ahead of launch and marketing and first figures later in Q4.

Solid today, lets see if we can get back to 15p levels next week :)

Certainly was a strong end to Friday trading, not normal for such an end of week rise unless there are leaks of news this coming week. Cannot think of anything else they are supposed to announce, so would guess that the marketing campaign must start this coming week or next, taking it they will start marketing ahead of the site launch to generate interest.

If those who are short a few million shares now start to close them up (they have plenty of time from throwing out in the 30's, but nobody likes to lose profit), then there could be a strong rise back to the 20p levels this month of September imo.

Doesn't look like many on here hold this stock.

Shame as it should motor now.

Should indeed Still Waiting.

I think many new people will notice "PLW" when the marketing campaign starts, its going to draw lots of attention to Pokerwize and so Playwize, meaning hopefully lots of new investors :)

Should be a strong run into March 07 from now on :)

I wonder whether that 500K T trade on Friday was Mr 500K rolled over short recently closing it off and sucking up lots of the free float, or if we have more director buying to be reported.

The free float is small here, and the board holding a fair size as reported along with the Chairmans buy late last week.

There was another 400K short rollover recently, and others too.....interesting times ahead into the marketing campaign and then site launch this month.

Nice strong start to the week :)
