US Legislation

                                Playtech Limited

                       Statement Regarding US Legislation

The Board of Playtech Ltd ('Playtech' or 'the Company'), the AIM-listed
international designer, developer and licensor of software to the gaming 
industry, notes the decision by Congress in the USA to enact the 'Unlawful 
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act 2006.'

The Board of Playtech states that it continues to receive legal advice regarding 
the impact of this legislation. Whilst Playtech is not an operator of online 
gaming nor a payment processor, the Board accepts that if this legislation 
becomes effective there would be a material impact on certain of its licensees 
and therefore on Playtech's revenues.

However, in the first half of 2006 more than 50 per cent of Playtech's revenues 
were derived from non-US players, a figure that is steadily increasing as the 
Company continues to add more new non-US facing licensees.

Playtech is actively growing its revenue base in Asia, Europe and South America 
where the Board believes it has substantial business development opportunities. 
Playtech's current new business and development pipeline, including commissioned 
products, is entirely focused on these non-US markets as are all new licensees.

The Board is confident that Playtech has a sustainable and profitable business 
model even in the eventuality of the proposed legislation becoming law. 
Additionally, the Board believes that the Company has significant cash resources 
and operating cash flows to support the business during its global development 
programme.

The Board continues to evaluate the situation and will provide an update as and 
when appropriate.
