Unibet's CEO Petter Nylander released

Unibet's CEO Petter Nylander was today transferred from the Netherlands to the
French legal authorities in Nanterre. 

After the hearing, which took place at 18.30 - 20.00, the judge decided to
release Petter Nylander under the condition of a bail of EUR 200,000.

Unibet‘s CEO Petter Nylander comments:

“Unibet, the company that I run, has always abided by the law. We are
transparent and we promote the concept of responsible gaming.

Our company is European; we are listed on the OMX Nordic Exchange, and audited
on a regular basis. The fact that there are numerous legal proceedings ongoing
against responsible operators such as Unibet doesn't make sense at a time when
the French government has publicly referred to the opening of its online gaming
market. Such proceedings serve only one purpose - the commercial interests of
France's two State-owned monopolies. There is an urgent need for reform of this
market where these monopoly operators' actions are in complete disregard of EU
Treaties and the interests of French players.

It is Unibet's strong belief that the French consumer should have a choice
regarding online betting and gaming, with specific regulation.

France has everything to gain from the controlled opening of its market, and La
Française des Jeux, the PMU and French casino operators alike have an
opportunity to be co-leaders together with private operators in the European
online gaming market”.


Petter Nylander will be available at a press briefing in London at 11.30 GMT
tomorrow, Thursday 1 November 2007, at Radisson Edwardian Hampshire Hotel, 31-36
Leicester Square, London, WC2H 7LH.
