WEBWIRE

Racingworld Technology Limited (“Racingworld”), the innovative UK leisure software company specialising in the development of online, skill-based gaming solutions, has launched 123sport.com to complement its award-winning online racing game, 123racing.com. This new portal offers pay-to-play and free play contests guaranteed to get people bidding on the new football season, autumn races and the Ryder Cup.

With a minimum entry fee of £2 to play on a horse racing contest, 123sport is an affordable way to enjoy the fun of horse racing from around the UK with potentially high returns. In addition to daily pools, points accumulate during the week so punters can match their prowess against other players and win cash prizes. Your three best scores of the week count towards the weekly pool.

In addition to the daily and weekly pools, the Perfect Pick Jackpot is struck whenever one or more players pick all of the winning horses on one of the daily racing contests.

To kick off the football season, 123sport.com has a soccer contest where football fans can pit their expertise against each other by picking the correct results on the UK Premiership matches. There are two contests available where players can enter a £2 contest or a £5 TV special.

In October 2006 Racingworld Technology was granted a licence by UK Tote to operate Pools on British horse racing. This licence allows Racingworld Technology to market and promote its services in the UK. In April this year, the company won the Interactive Media Award for the innovative 123racing.com website.

Rob Earle, Chief Executive of Racingworld Technology, stated: “The launch of 123sport.com changes sports gaming in the UK. For the first time, fans of horse racing, football and other sports can really use their skills and compete against each other with guaranteed outcomes. Not only does it appeal to experienced punters, but because of the free gaming opportunities, people with no or little experience can enjoy learning about these sports and how to bet on them. With our contests, there is always a winner, as our contests are based on accumulating points and someone always wins!”

123sport.com is planning to release a full range of US based fantasy sport picks with NFL and Ice Hockey high on the list. Racingworld has signed an agreement with UK media partner PASport - who recently acquired Sportsticker.com.

PA Sport also works as an official partner for governing bodies in a number of sports including soccer in Europe, Asia and South Africa and horseracing, cricket and rugby in England
