Tipp24 AG / Miscellaneous Release of a Corporate News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer / publisher is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill-based games with distinctive characters expand product portfolio of Tipp24 AG Starting today gaming fans can test their skill and general knowledge in direct competition with other players at www.tipp24games.de. Even small betting stakes are possible. Seven games are currently available – from puzzles to a general knowledge quiz – all featuring lovable and highly distinctive characters. The company behind the new gaming portal for so-called skill-based games is Tipp24 AG. At its IPO in 2005, the Hamburg-based company already announced its intention to add further product areas to its core business of brokering state lottery products. As the games on offer merely test the player’s skill or general knowledge, they are not subject to Germany’s restrictive gaming regulations. In February 2008 Tipp24 AG acquired the assets of Enter.TV GmbH, whose staff offer considerable know-how in the development of flash-based online games. At the newly founded Tipp24 Entertainment GmbH, a wholly-owned Tipp24 subsidiary, this team has since been working hard at the company’s offices in Bochum and Hamburg on the recently completed website. Sven Ivo Brinck, Managing Director of Tipp24 Entertainment GmbH, states: 'After a lot of hard work in the implementation phase, customers can now look forward to a new dimension in web-based entertainment with regard to quality and gaming experience. The distinctive characters and the highly intuitive portal offer something for every taste and guarantee a high standard of gaming enjoyment for our customers. In order to ensure it stays this way, we will be regularly adding new games to the site.' Pictures suitable for printing are available on request.
