WatchandWager successfully launches new website ahead of Kentucky Derby

Site improvements and marketing campaigns part of company growth strategy

The board of Webis, the Group specialising in pool wagering and the operators
of WatchandWager Cal Expo, the Californian harness track, is pleased to
confirm the successful rollout of its new website for the Advanced Deposit
Wagering ("ADW") business, WatchandWager.com LLC ("WatchandWager"). The launch
is timed to take advantage of the Kentucky Derby and the US Triple Crown
season.

 

The new website is designed to provide the best user experience for players,
as well as improve performance overall. The launch coincides with the busiest
period of the American horse racing season, namely the Triple Crown series in
May and June. Further development upgrades will be forthcoming following the
conclusion of the Triple Crown season.

 

In addition to the successful rollout, the Board will increase the level of
marketing activity, beginning with the Kentucky Derby on 4 May, followed by
the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, and then continuing throughout
the summer racing calendar. This will include compelling retail marketing to
existing clients as well as enhanced use of social media to attract fresh
players to the site.

 

WatchandWager continues to hold key assets (including US racetrack rights and
regulatory licences) that provide players access to more racetracks than any
US-based ADW platform. In addition, WatchandWager holds critical licences and
agreements to offer wagering on prestigious international racing from Europe,
Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America, as well as the biggest races in
North America that include the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and
Belmont Stakes. These are unique assets for US WatchandWager players, and the
company is confident of a strong level of activity in the coming months.

 

Ed Comins, Managing Director of WEBIS Holdings, commented:

 

"We are pleased with the recent website improvements and the upcoming
marketing plan, and we are also aware that the company is one of the most
competitive in the global ADW market in terms of content and licences.  As we
improve the performance of the website for our players, we will also promote
these critical assets and make them more available to potential partners in
the industry."

 

The website address is as follows: www.watchandwager.com
(http://www.watchandwager.com) and is currently only available for US
registrants.
