About Betbrokers plc



Betbrokers is the UK's first independent betting brokerage.  The Company
facilitates transactional business between both retail gamblers and wholesale
clients.  The Company's operations were formally launched in 2005.



Betbrokers provides services, from its dedicated dealing room in London's Canary
Wharf, to two groups of participants within the gambling industry:



*         The Company provides its retail customers with the advantage of best
price execution together with the ability to deal 'in size' in a majority of
sporting events.  Retail customers will soon be able to access advanced
data-sales and trading analysis platforms, which feed from aggregated internal
price mechanisms.

*         Betbrokers already has agreements with over 100 bookmakers, providing
them with the opportunity to take on additional bets from retail customers.
Importantly, the Company also offers bookmakers a facility to effectively manage
their risk exposure by hedging positions anomalously using Betbrokers as an
intermediary to deal with the other bookmakers.


Betbrokers floated on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in 
November 2006.
