ABSOLUTE POKER AND ULTIMATEBET IMPROVE IDENTITY AND AGE VERIFICATION CAPABILITIES


Action Underscores Tokwiro’s Commitment to Responsible Gaming

MONTREAL, CANADA (OCTOBER 22, 2008) - Tokwiro Enterprises ENRG ("Tokwiro") announced today that it has signed a licensing agreement with Integrity™, the leading supplier of Identity and Age Verification services worldwide. The Tokwiro-owned online poker rooms AbsolutePoker.com ("Absolute Poker") and UltimateBet.com ("UltimateBet") recently began deployment of the Integrity™ system.

Paul Leggett, Tokwiro's Chief Operating Officer said, "Two of the biggest issues facing the online gaming industry today are kids accessing our adults-only Internet sites, and problem gambling. We are excited that by using Integrity™ at Absolute Poker and UltimateBet, we can proactively help address both issues quickly and effectively with integration of the one innovative top-of-the-line service."

Absolute Poker and UltimateBet will use Integrity™ to ensure that the right people gain fast and secure access to their online gaming sites, and to help prevent minors from logging on. It will serve to verify the age of all online players at both sites irrespective of jurisdiction.

Importantly, Integrity™ also provides a screening process that allows these sites to identify anyone who has voluntarily added their name to a Global Self-Exclusion List (SEL) - a worldwide, confidential and highly secure database of individuals who have chosen to exclude themselves from gaming activity. The Integrity™ Global SEL meets or exceeds the statutory requirements for licensed operators who must implement steps to protect self-described problem gamblers.

Mr. Leggett noted: "The new management at Tokwiro is committed to setting the highest standard of responsible gaming operations. We will meet or exceed the rest of the industry in responsible practices, in every case. Implementation of Integrity™ is an important building block towards positioning Absolute Poker and UltimateBet as leaders in the area of Responsible Gaming, while at the same time protecting the privacy and security of our players."

Aristotle's Integrity™ service operates on a variety of platforms, including the Internet, interactive voice response, mobile and hand-held devices. It works by verifying a standard-issue driver license or other government-issued ID held by citizens of 157 nations; and it can do this in less than two seconds.

To date, more than 50 million consumers have used Integrity™ to verify their identity when interacting with global Fortune 1000 companies, government agencies and merchants.

No information provided by the consumer is disclosed or disseminated in the verification process, and all data is handled in conformance with US - EU Safe Harbor requirements. http://export.gov/safeharbor/SH_FAQ6.asp
