02.03.2007

On the basis of a law passed by the Turkish government on 28 February 2007, bwin
has decided to temporarily withdraw its range of online gaming products from
Turkey. Although on the one hand, the new law prohibits online games of chance,
on the other it also provides for the possibility of acquiring a licence at a
later date. bwin generates about six per cent of its gross gaming revenues in
Turkey.

The Company is confident that it will be able to offer licensed online gaming
products in Turkey again in the future, and will therefore be endeavouring to
acquire a licence. This presupposes that the authorities will make use of the
possibility of issuing licences for online games of chance as provided for by
the law, thus implementing an up-to-date regulation to the benefit of all
concerned.
