            Launch of BetonSports.com real-time, P2P betting exchange

TradingSports Exchange Systems plc ("TradingSports"), the AIM listed provider of
"white label" person-to-person ("P2P") betting exchange systems, is pleased to
announce the launch of the BetonSports.com real-time, P2P betting exchange. This
follows the original 5-year exclusive contract signed with BetonSports.com.
TradingSports now has eleven groups including eHorse, WWTS, BetCRIS, Betfanatic,
Tradbets and BetonSports.com live and matching bets.

BetonSports.com is one of the largest online betting companies in the world and
is amongst the largest sportsbooks in North America with an annual turnover of

match and place bets with each other during various sporting events.

The exchange went live in time for the XXXVIII Super Bowl, between the Carolina
Panthers and the New England Patriots. The Super Bowl is the US's highest-rated
TV programme and the most watched single-day sporting event, watched by a
worldwide audience of over 1 billion viewers.

TradingSports settled over $2.4 million in matched bets on "Super Bowl Sunday",
with $1.8 million bets matched on the Super Bowl itself.

Joe Tighe, CEO of TradingSports commenting on the launch said:

"To be working with one of the largest sportsbook in the world, BetonSports.com,
for the largest sporting occasion in the US calendar is a great testament to the
service that TradingSports provides. The size of the transactions that we were
able to handle seamlessly further proves the robustness of our leading
technology and systems."

Commenting on the launch of the exchange, David Carruthers, CEO of
BetonSports.com said:

"We are continually looking for ways to offer our clients new and innovative
options to bet online. Providing customers with the ability to bet with each
other in a safe, convenient and private environment will further add to the
growing popularity of wagering on sports online, especially during events like
the Super Bowl."
