                               Italian Regulation



Leisure & Gaming plc ("L&G" or the "Company"), the online betting and gaming
group and owner of Betshop Italia, notes the recent movement in its share price
and speculation as to the suspension of "punti remoti" licences by AAMS the
Italian betting regulator.



The Company welcomes yesterday's publication by AAMS, the Italian betting
regulator, of a clarification of the regulation of "punti remoti" licences which
run through to 2011.  Although the additional regulation, which will come into
effect on 1st January 2008, will place restrictions on how "punti remoti" can
operate, the Company believes this regulation will provide a more certain
operating environment for the industry.



The Company will update the market if it determines that the regulation will
have a material impact on its business, but confirms that it does not take cash
bets in its outlets, but uses pre-paid and credit cards, bank and post methods
and electronic money.
