Sport Sponsoring: betandwin Official Sponsor of French Handball Team

VIENNA, Austria, January 24/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Prior to the start of the world handball championships in Tunisia, the
betandwin Group, continental Europe's leading provider of Internet sports
betting, has entered into an extensive sponsoring venture with number one
favourite France.



As official sponsor of two-time world handball champion France, betandwin
hopes that the team headed by Jackson Richardson will achieve many victories.
The company will have a special focus on handball between 23 January and 6
February 2005, offering not only a wide spectrum of standard bets ranging
from victory and head-to-head to special bets, but also L!VE betting on all
games played by France (which will be meeting Tunisia, Angola, Canada,
Denmark and Greece in the preliminary round), as well as on all matches
played by Denmark, Sweden and Norway.



With over 4,000 bets daily in more than 40 sports, L!VE bets via Internet
and mobile phone, over 30 casino games and numerous lottery games with draws
every 60 seconds, betandwin is one of the most innovative gaming platforms in
the Internet.



Through this new commitment, betandwin is continuing its strategy of
seeking cooperation with leading international athletes (Nordic skiing:
Martin Schmitt, Martin Hollwarth), sports associations (football: FC
Barcelona) or event series (MotoGP).



The betandwin Group, the leading provider of online gaming products in
continental Europe, has set itself the goal of becoming the world's number
one address for sports betting, gaming and entertainment on the Internet.
Operating under licences issued in Austria, Germany, the United Kingdom and
Gibraltar, the company's subsidiaries and affiliated companies offer sports
betting, casino games, soft games, and person-to-person applications via
