LOS ANGELES -- You Bet International, Inc. (OTC BB: UBET) has issued the following statement in response to numerous inquiries that the company has received relating to the U.S. Senate's recent vote on Internet gaming:
"We have always been and remain in full compliance with all state and federal laws. We welcome any legislation that lends clarification to the entire unregulated internet gaming area and that strengthens our position. You Bet International is not an Internet gaming company. We use a closed loop system, operating in a regulated and licensed environment, into which have been built extreme safeguards for preventing use by unauthorized people who are not approved members.
We will continue to grow our business with the goal of becoming the largest private interactive horse racing network in the world providing to our members the ability to see, hear, and participate in pari-mutual horse wagering in the United States and overseas safely, securely and legally through the personal computer.
You Bet continues to move ahead to add members and value-added content and to expand its business both domestically and internationally."
