CYOP Systems to Localize TenSeatPoker.com into Chinese; Company to Capitalize on Asian Internet Growth

Wednesday, June 8th, 2005

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 2005--CYOP Systems International Inc. (OTCBB:CYOS), a leading provider of online gaming software, is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement whereby Foreground Image Inc. will be localizing the Company's TenSeatPoker.com cash play site into Traditional and Simplified Chinese.

The TenSeatPoker.com site will be translated, leveraging our tournament sponsorship and advertising model with the design to convert players from third-party portals in Asia to a cash play gaming site.

The Company is continuing to seek out new partners in Asia who have large vertical portals and who are looking to add content and functionality to their web properties.

IGaming will rake in nearly $10 billion in revenue this year, up 40% from 2004. In 1996, when IGaming was in its early years, the industry collected $30 million, says researcher Christiansen Capital Advisors.

Mitch White, CEO of CYOP, commented, "Even with its minimal penetration rate, China already ranks second in the world in total Internet users. According to eMarketer, during the 2004-2008 period, the US Internet population will grow at a 2.6% annual rate. In contrast, China's Internet population will grow during the 2004-2008 period by over 14.3% on an annual basis. Throngs of Chinese citizens are being introduced to the Internet daily."

American IDC SmartSMS Celebrity Poker ``Text-Chat'' Becomes a Financial Reality with Poker Superstars Lining Up!

Tuesday, June 7th, 2005

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2005--American IDC Corporation (Pink Sheets: ACNI) announced today Marcel Luske is the first professional poker player to reach out to his extensive fan base through text messaging. He has signed with Smart Entertainment and their CelebrityPokerChat(TM) service to deliver live updates through text messaging directly from the poker table to his fans as he plays. He will offer playing tips and include his fun and clever sayings, such as, "Give a little bit of your chips to me!" The deal has even more appeal to his fans as one lucky winner will win a coveted seat at the World Series of Poker!

Luske is one of the most visible and widely recognized players in the United States and Europe. His notable finishes in the past two WSOP tournaments have brought him to the forefront of the poker landscape. He placed tenth in the Main Event 2004 and thirteenth in 2003, respectively. Luske's signature style of wearing his sunglasses upside down makes it impossible to remain unnoticed. Only two days into this year's WSOP, hundreds of fans have approached him for his autograph and to simply share a moment of his time.

Being the creative and determined entrepreneur that Luske is, he has developed his own exclusive marketing organization, Flying Dutchman Marketing. The purpose of this endeavor is to provide integrated marketing plans that further connect with his steadily increasing fan base via text messaging as well as through other ventures. Additionally, Luske is the director of the International Poker Federation (IPF).

The service is very simple to use: Say for example Marcel is playing in a tournament. 50,000 people are watching on TV, online or watching a pre-recorded show on television, and he asks them to sign in by sending the message CHAT to the number 76278. 30% of the viewers respond to the request, and within minutes, 15,000 loyal fans have opted-in to his fan club. Let's calculate that 200,000 fans have signed in through his World Tour -- he sends these loyal fans 4 messages a month, generating $400,000 of revenue that he would have never dreamt of before ... $4.8 million a year in NEW revenue! All while keeping his fans updated on his latest and greatest news -- and smiling all the way to the bank. But of course, getting a personal message from the Flying Dutchman would be a big reason to smile too!

CelebrityPokerChat was formulated by Smart Entertainment in 2004. Try out the service by sending the word CHAT to the number 76278. For further information and a brochure, please contact Smart Entertainment at 310-666-7340, or email us at info@smartentgroup.com.
