Poker.Com Loses Domain to Hijacking
9 December 2002

PRESS RELEASE

SOURCE: Poker.com

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Poker.com Inc. announced today that the company has been the victim of a form of technological piracy.

During the course of regular business operations on Friday, December 6th, 2002, the Poker.com domain was hijacked and re-directed without the consent or knowledge of the company.

In accordance with an agreement signed on July 16th, 1999, Poker.com Inc. obtained the worldwide rights to the internet domain known as www.poker.com which included a period of validity until the year 2098.

Poker.com Inc. is unaware of any claim or disagreement through which the company holding the title to the domain may have reason to effect any changes to the current status and operation of www.poker.com.

In an effort to ensure the smooth operation of Poker.com Inc.'s gaming products, the company has redirected all online traffic to www.thepokerclub.com which will operate the poker cardroom.

Poker.com Inc. will vigorously pursue its rights to the domain and will hold those responsible for the hijacking of the domain responsible for any and all damages resulting from the re-direction.

Poker.com Inc. apologizes to its shareholders and customers for the recent events and will engage a full legal, technical and operational audit to ensure the operations of the company are maintained to ensure a smooth return to the rightful status of www.poker.com.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Mr. Michael Jackson, President
