'NetPlay TV buys UK mobile gambling, gaming sites'

(DMeurope Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
UK interactive gaming company NetPlay TV has acquired mobile gambling
site Venturygames.co.uk and skill gaming site Toucanwin.com from
Info-Download. NetPlay has also signed agreements with Info-Download
parent Zed Worldwide, provide of mobile and internet entertainment and
community products and services. Venturygames.co.uk provides casino and
bingo entertainment products and services for mobile phone users,
allowing them to download games direct to their phones and place bets
whilst on the go. It has an agreement with O2 UK and currently
generates bets worth over GBP 400,000 per month. Toucanwin.com was
established to exploit the growing 'skill' gaming business in countries
where gambling is not permitted. Under the terms of the agreements,
NetPlay TV will also take over UK mobile quiz business 'Grab a Grand'
from Info-download. This weekly quiz has over 11,000 subscribers. The
businesses acquired as part of this transaction currently generate
monthly gross revenues of around GBP 500,000. NetPlay is paying a total


of GBP 1 million for the assets, satisfied by the issue of 3.85 million
ordinary shares of GBP 0.05 at an agreed price of GBP 0.26 per share.
NetPlay has also signed two strategic agreements with Zed. The first
2-year deal allows Zed to sell NetPlay's interactive gaming solutions
to its client base of over 130 mobile network operators worldwide. The
second, 1-year agreement allows NetPlay to exploit Zed's mobile
development skill base.
