               EUROBET TEAMS UP WITH SPORTSWORLD MEDIA GROUP PLC
                                AND DREAM LEAGUE
                                       

Sportsworld  Media  Group  plc  today officially  named  Coral  Eurobet  plc's
"eurobet.co.uk"  web  site as the exclusive on-line  gaming  partner  for  its
subsidiary  Netsports'  "Dream League" fantasy  sports  brand,  which  is  the
official fantasy football product for Euro 2000.

Sportsworld,  the Global Sports and Entertainment Media Group  listed  on  the
London Stock Exchange, produces sports TV shows which are shown every week  in
over  80  countries. These shows provide an ideal platform  through  which  to
promote "dreamleague.com".

The  "Dream League" online fantasy game system offers an unrivalled  level  of
functionality  across a range of sports and has already  delivered  games  for
football,  cricket, golf, motor racing and tennis in a variety  of  languages.
The popularity of "Dream League" fantasy football for Euro 2000 highlights the
potential  for "Dream League" products associated with other major  TV  sports
rights contracts, such as the FA Premier League rights.

The  partnership offers significant cross-promotional opportunities from which
Eurobet  and Dream League will both benefit in terms of revenue and awareness,
and  offers  sports fans around the globe the opportunity to greatly  increase
their pleasure from watching major sporting events.

Commenting on the deal Sportsworld Chief Executive Geoff Brown said:

"In  Coral Eurobet, Sportsworld has found an ideal on-line partner that offers
an  unrivalled international betting capability. Together we will be  able  to
offer a comprehensive service across many major sports and languages."

Trevor Beaumont, Managing Director of Eurobet commented:

"The  partnership  with  Dream League is a great opportunity  for  Eurobet  to
provide  its  popular online betting service to an even greater  international
audience of sports fans."
