*2006 excluding US- and Turkish operations; 2007 excluding Turkish

Due to the strong performance of its core business (sports betting
and poker), the Group boosted gross gaming revenues in the financial
year 2007 to EUR 350.5 million compared to EUR 288.6 million in 2006.
What is more, in the last quarter of 2007, the Company increased
gross and net gaming revenues above the levels achieved before
exiting the US market in late 2006 and the Turkish market in early
2007.

Compared to its most important competitors, which report in USD or
GBP, in 2007 bwin reported the strongest organic growth of net gaming
revenues in a euro-based comparison.

Net gaming revenues (gross gaming revenues less all deductions such
as betting duties, casino taxes and bonuses granted to customers)
amounted to EUR 309.7 million in 2007. This represented an increase
of 25.9% compared to FY 2006 (EUR 246.0 million). This was
attributable mainly to an increase in net gaming revenues from poker
to EUR 74.4 million (up 49.7% compared to 2006), and sports betting
to EUR 166.1 million (up 23.4% compared to 2006).

The number of active customers in 2007 (single total for all
products) declined to 1.6 million, a reduction of 6.9% over the total
of 1.8 million for 2006, the year of the Soccer World Championships.
In 2007, 798,000 of these customers became active for the first time
(FY 2006: 1,200,000 new active customers). However, a rising trend
has been observed for both active and new active customers since Q3
2007.

Due to current business performance bwin expects another record
quarter. During the first 75 days of the quarter average daily gross
gaming revenues increased by 4.7% compared to Q4 2007. For the full
year 2008, bwin anticipates a sports betting margin in a bandwidth of
8 to 10%.

The complete report on the preliminary results on the fourth quarter
2007 and the financial year 2007 can be found online on the bwin
investor relations website, where it can also be downloaded in PDF
