---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frankfurt am Main, Thursday 9 November 2011 - Passoker, a 20% holding of
Venatus Interactive plc, announced on November 3, 2011 that the unique
gambling product has gone live with Gibraltar-based bookmaker Victor
Chandler.
The non-skill game, which features legendary Sky Sports football and darts
commentators Martin Tyler and Sid Waddell, lets players place wagers on
what will happen next in live sports fixtures.
As well as allowing operators to significantly boost their in-play offering
on virtually every sport, Passoker enables its partners to attract new
audiences in a previously untapped area by providing opportunities to bet
during television programmes.
Football highlights show Match of the Day and British soap operas
Coronation Street, EastEnders and Hollyoaks are part of the initial
offering, which can be played at www.victorchandler.com alongside the
bookmaker's sportsbook, casino, poker, games and slots products.
Passoker was founded in 2010 by Stuart Carr and business partner Viv
Anderson, the former England, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and Manchester
United footballer.
Named winner of the Start-Up LaunchPad at EiG 2010, Passoker, which can be
re-skinned to an operator's own design requirements, underwent a year of
extensive development and beta testing before being launched by Victor
Chandler.
Passoker CEO Stuart Carr said: 'We are extremely proud to get Passoker
fully live with our first operator. As a company known for embracing
innovation, we see Victor Chandler as a perfect fit. The whole team has
been brilliant in helping us develop the game since we first signed with
them and we all now look forward to reaping the benefits of the time
invested in reaching this significant milestone.'
Victor Chandler Marketing Director Karl Riley added: 'Maximising in-play is
a key focus for our business, so we are very pleased to have launched
Passoker on www.victorchandler.com and we are excited by the product. There
is no doubt that it is a unique offering in the marketplace, and we are
delighted to be able to offer it first.'
