Press Release Body = CyberArts LLC announced today a significant upgrade to the
global capabilities of its FoundationT software platform for developers of online
gaming services. The upgrade helps developers minimize the risk associated with U.S.
Congress\' recently-passed Safe Ports Act, which includes certain provisions that
would prohibit US based banks and credit card companies to make payments to online
gambling sites. CyberArts FoundationT software now allows developers to quickly and
easily launch non-English-language versions of their gaming services, and conduct
transactions using a variety of payment systems in almost any currency.
Chris Derossi, co-founder and CEO of CyberArts explains, "We are very excited to
offer capabilities that will allow developers to continue to diversify their online
gaming offerings, and serve non-U.S. players in any parts of the world. Major online
poker sites can safely continue their financial growth in regions unaffected by the
Safe Ports Act."
Derossi is well-known in the poker world as the co-author of Winning at Internet
Poker for Dummies, one of the popular titles from the ". for Dummies" series. He has
more than 20 years of leadership at top technology companies including Apple
Computers, where he served as chief architect of OS 7 before starting CyberArts. The
globalization project has been managed by the company\'s co-founders Derossi and Ken
Arnold.
CyberArts, the designer of the software that currently powers the online poker rooms
for Mansion.com, Tony G Poker and Apuestas.com, has long been established as a
pioneer in gaming technology. Building upon a ten-year history of developing and
operating GamesGrid, the world\'s first graphical online backgammon club, CyberArts
set out to build a ground-breaking platform to support the next generation of online
gaming. The company has customized its unique platform for sophisticated marketers
requiring strong branding capabilities, flexible and innovative functionality, and
support for multiple languages and currencies. The FoundationT software is the
world\'s only platform that is fully licensable, allowing companies to quickly and
easily build and launch their own branded, customized online gaming service. The
platform supports poker, backgammon, casino, and nearly any other type of game.

In addition to its globalization features, the CyberArts FoundationT platform is the
most scalable, secure online gaming software platform available. CyberArts submitted
FoundationT to a thorough certification process by the Maltese Lotteries and Gaming
Authority. Their subsequent approval demonstrates that CyberArts supplies products
ready to operate in jurisdictions with the highest standards. Furthermore,
FoundationT has been tested to support tens of thousands of simultaneous users with
extensive fail-safe mechanisms.

CyberArts is in discussions with several companies who will unveil new
Foundation-based online gaming services within the next 90 days. It\'s also expected
that several existing major gaming services, including World Poker Tour, will be
switching to the CyberArts FoundationT platform in the near future.

Full feature descriptions and downloadable brochures are available on the company\'s
site at . CyberArts will be exhibiting at booth #100
during the European Internet Gaming Exhibition and conference in Barcelona
(), 11-3 October, and at booth #5601 during the Global
Gaming Expo (), 14-16 November in Las Vegas.
