Betracer.com, World Gaming Launch First Pari-Mutuel Motor Sport Web Site

11 February 2002

LONDON--(Press Release)--Feb. 11, 2002-- World Gaming (OTC BB: WGMGY), a global pioneer in I-gaming technologies, and Betracer.com based in Antigua and Barbuda, announced the launch of the Internet's first motorsport pari-mutuel wagering site and service in time for the 44th Annual Daytona 500 on February 17, 2002.

Betracer.com offers visitors real-time pari-mutuel betting on major motorsport events, including all NASCAR, Formula One, IRL and CART races. Betracer.com will also provide players with the ability to track past performances of their favorite drivers and complete circuit statistics.

``After two years of intense development, Betracer.com is an entirely original entertainment service that promises to attract motor racing fans from around the world,'' said Mike Aymong, CEO of World Gaming. ``Betracer.com demonstrates our continued commitment to developing content that will attract increased numbers of players onto the World Gaming platform.''

With the largest purse in the race's history, in excess of $US 12 million, the Daytona 500 attracts more than 200 million fans worldwide and is considered the premier motorsport racing event of the NASCAR season.

``NASCAR popularity has exploded into what members of the popular press are calling a cultural phenomenon,'' said Rodney Davis, interim chief operating officer and chief financial officer, World Gaming. ``The addition of this world-class content on our platform falls immediately on the heels of the American football season, which is our strongest revenue period. The worldwide interest in NASCAR, Formula One, IRL and CART races most certainly has the potential to attract similar interest from fans and extend our peek revenue period.''
