Playtech Changes Its Bet to Quova
Top Gaming Software Developer Chooses GeoPoint for Regulatory Compliance, Fraud Prevention

Quova, Inc., the world's premier provider and developer of web
geography services and technologies, announced today that Playtech, a
leading multinational gaming software developer, has chosen Quova to
provide geolocation data for regulatory compliance and fraud
prevention. Quova's GeoPoint, which determines the geographic
location of a website user and the cyber-location of an online
transaction in real time, has been incorporated into Playtech's
unique unified gaming platform to help Playtech's customers screen
out potentially fraudulent users and remain compliant with
multinational regulations on Internet gambling.

"We were a longtime customer of Quova's closest competitor, but we
decided we needed a more responsive partner and higher-quality data,"
said Rami Beinish, CEO of Playtech. "Knowing the customer's location
is critical in our industry, and Quova is providing us with the
capabilities we need to offer more and better information solutions
to the customers who depend on us. We're glad to have a partner who
is so committed to the success of our business and the satisfaction
of our customer base."

"Playtech is recognized worldwide as an innovator of high-quality
software solutions and platforms for online gambling," said Gary
Jackson, EVP of Operations for Quova. "We're gratified to have earned
their trust and further solidified our position as the dominant
geolocation provider to the Internet gaming industry."
