MONTREAL, Dec. 18, 2012, 2012 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Amaya Gaming Group Inc. ("Amaya" or the
"Corporation") (TSXV: AYA), an entertainment solutions provider for the
regulated gaming industry, announced today that Redbet Gaming Ltd
("Redbet") has chosen Amaya's wholly owned subsidiary Ongame Network
Ltd. ("Ongame") for a two-year licensing agreement to power its
company-wide poker business. The multi-site deal includes popular
brands such as Redbet.com, Whitebet.com and Heypoker.com.
"When leaving the IGT poker network we did a thorough investigation of
all B2B poker providers," said Adam Vella, Head of Poker at Redbet
Gaming Ltd. "Selecting Ongame was an easy choice. Ongame combines
excellent network management with a rock solid technical platform.
Today, Ongame now provides poker to all of our major sites."

forward to exceeding their expectations in us as a technology partner,"
said Darcy Krogh, VP of Business Development at Amaya. "We continue to
execute on Amaya's plan for Ongame, which is to leverage its scalable
software architecture and infrastructure to add new partners to
Ongame's network, including in new jurisdictions. With Amaya's
regulatory experience and proven platforms in both poker and casino, we
are an increasingly viable option for those looking for new
partnerships online."
