Launched on Sky Vegas Live in May 2006

Today leading gaming solutions provider Gextech announced the signing of

technology, Fantastic League(TM) is able to reproduce complex team sports and
provides the same betting opportunities as real live football. With
unparalleled 3D graphics, the league will consist of 12 different teams
playing in a weekly league and cup competition. Matches will be held every
six minutes with live commentary on the play.

Mark Campbell, Group Chairman for Gextech said, "We are very excited to
be striking such an important deal with SkyBet. With their extensive
experience in interactive betting they are the ideal partner for us in the UK
and Ireland. It is our strong belief that the addition of Fantastic
League(TM) as a betting product linked to the world's most popular sport with

The strength of the technology developed by Gextech allows us to develop
the Fantastic League(TM) concept not only for other team sports, but also for
all our other platforms."
