CYOP to Launch Online Poker & Bridge; Casino Type Games to Be Offered as Part of European Growth Strategy

Business Wire, Feb 15, 2005

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- CYOP Systems International Inc. (OTCBB:CYOS), a leading provider of online video games and tournaments of skill, is pleased to announce that it will be launching online multi-play poker and bridge.

The games are going through testing and will be available for cash play in jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom that consider poker and bridge to be games of skill rather than games of chance. The games will be available for free-play to North American players.

A Bear Stearns report for the industry pegged annual revenue at $4.2 billion for 2003, and Christiansen Capital Advisors predicts that 2005 revenue could exceed $10 billion.

Mitch White, CEO of CYOP, commented, "More than 80 million people play poker at home, in card rooms and online, where over $170 million is wagered each day. If this trend continues, more than $250 million will be wagered on poker on the Internet alone each day by January 2006 according to Bluff Magazine. And last year, a total of $1.6 Billion was wagered online in poker sites. We plan to leverage our growing European player base into this form of gaming, and monetize our database further."
