ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 2000--David C.
Skinner, Jr., President and CEO of Winners Internet Network, Inc.
(OTCBB:WINR), www.winr.net, today announced that the Corporacion
Centroamerica El Tesoro Sociedad Anonima (CCETSA) has contracted with
WINR to handle all of its financial transaction processing,
effectively immediately.
CCETSA is a major fully licensed Internet and telephone based
Sportbook / Casino out of San Jose, Costa Rica, operating under the
name Casablanca Sportsbook & Casino (www.betcbs.com). They have been
in operation for eight years, and provide Las Vegas style wagering on
all American sports, including football, basketball, baseball, hockey,
nascar, tennis, boxing and soccer.
In May, Casablanca intends to release an all new online casino
that will be fully integrated with its sports program and offer a
broad selection of games such as Blackjack, Craps, Slots, Roulette,
Video Poker and Bingo. The company has a reputation throughout the
industry as a solid, trustworthy and well established book, and is
recommended or featured on industry review and resource sites such as
Bettorsworld (www.bettorsworld.com), where it is rated "Cream of the
Crop", and the prestigious Don Best Sports service (www.donbest.com),.
"Casablanca is one of the class acts in the Internet gaming field
and we are proud that they have selected us as their financial
processor," said Mr. Skinner. "The Casablanca contract provides one
more example of the confidence that Internet gaming companies have in
our secure financial transaction processing systems. While we are
currently transitioning this capability into a broad based e-commerce
offering, we will continue to vigorously support our gaming clients,
and will most likely aggregate all such activities into a corporate
subsidiary."
"We also will be offering access to Casablanca through the
www.Gaming-Plus.com category of our `-Plus' e-commerce network as the
network is rolled out over the coming months. This is in keeping with
our vision for the `-Plus' network of an interlinked community of
business, service, and entertainment sites which provide consumers
with the peace of mind of knowing that any e-business sponsored in the
`-Plus' community will be screened, monitored and maintained at the
highest levels of integrity, value, and customer service."
Daniel Wabe, operations manager for Casablanca Sportsbook &
Casino, added: "We selected WINR after a thorough evaluation of our
needs and of the competitive suppliers in the industry. In our
opinion, WINR offers the best combination of features and customer
service available today. Their system is flexible enough to handle our
various incentive and bonus programs, offers full 24x7 operation and
reliability, and provides the level of security and privacy that more
and more customers are demanding in every aspect of Internet commerce.
At Casablanca, we take great pride in our customer service and are
constantly finding ways to improve based on customer feedback. In
April we will move into a new state of the art facility in Costa Rica
that will provide us with improved telecommunications (150 satellite
phone lines) and increased internet speed, and in May we release our
new casino. We feel WINR is the ideal partner to accompany us on this
rapid growth path."
