The chairman & CEO of GWIN Inc, Wayne Root, this week signed a Letter of Intent with Live Cast Media to enter the online poker business by capitalizing on the brand name Wayne Allyn Root ("WAR").

The agreement is that Live Cast Media (LCM) will create, support and operate at least two new poker Web sites: WARPoker.com and WARPoker.net.

WARPoker.com will be focused internationally, specifically at the Asian and European markets and those localities that allow online poker playing, and will not accept play from U.S. citizens or from citizens in any countries or localities where such play is prohibited.

LCM has a strong history of marketing to the Asian and European markets, and feels confident that utilizing Root's personality and recognition as "America's Handicapper" and "The Face of Las Vegas Gambling" will create a powerful image attractive to an international audience.

WARPoker.net will be a non-rake model for fun & prizes only and will be available for play in all localities where it is legal. This non-rake business model has been enjoying great success and increasing popularity in the United States.

The parties believe that the Wayne Allyn Root name, and the promotional support that GWIN will be able to provide utilizing its database of gamblers and its various media properties, including "Wayne Allyn Root's WinningEDGE" television and radio shows, and Web site will provide a strong user base. Subject to completion of a definitive agreement, the Letter of Intent calls for GWIN to receive 50% of the profits of the WARPoker.net site and 25% of the profits from the WARPoker.com site.

Live Cast Media has been operating globally since 2003 with offices in five worldwide locations including Asia, the United Kingdom and North America. It offers turnkey solutions for online gaming, global marketing and multimedia.
