SUNDERLAND, UK — October 25, 2004 — Mobile gaming specialist m-connected has today announced a strategic partnership with MoreMagic Solutions, the leading provider of mobile payment systems. Available on all networks. The partnership has been created to provide punters with secure, real-time gaming opportunities, played on their mobile phone, where payment can be made using a unique 'mobile wallet'

This provides a real alternative to punters who prefer not to use credit or debit cards, and to the bookmaking industry, which is currently missing out on this substantial and un-tapped market. Peter Johnson, Managing Director of m-connected commented "the partnership with MoreMagic provides us with the opportunity to create seamless mobile gaming and gambling applications, which will appeal to a new and previously inaccessible market."

The MoreMagic mobile wallet can be utilised on a wide variety of network services including all 2G, 2.5G and 3G networks. "Global mobile gaming is a hot topic with both network operators and gaming organisations. Already we have a number of interested parties wanting to evaluate the power of this end to end gaming solution" stated Pankaj Gulati, President and CEO of MoreMagic.
