    NEW MEDIA LOTTERY SERVICES PLC
    ("NMLS" or "the Company")
    (AIM: NMLS)

    LAUNCH OF NEW ONLINE LOTTERY GAMING PARTNERSHIP AND SITE
    
 
    The Board of New Media Lottery Services; the AIM quoted gaming content and systems provider, is pleased to announce the launch of a new
online bingo and lottery game partnership with the UK based Irish Post newspaper and Rehab Lotteries, Ireland's leading charity
organisation. NMLS will white label the successful RehabBingo.com site to launch the 'CelticBingo.com' brand in the UK. 

    The partnership is the first of a series of new 'channel' opportunities that NMLS has agreed which will help to develop and extend the
RehabBingo.com brand across the UK and Ireland. The site has been hugely successful with over 40,000,000 Euros in prizes paid to players
since launching in 2005. Funds raised from RehabBingo.com are used to fund the charity activities of the Rehab group in Ireland & the UK.

    The new site will extend 'THE IRISH POST'S' online brand through the online bingo and
    games platform and will allow players to participate in promotions and competitions both online through the site and in the weekly Irish
Post.. 

    Commenting on the announcement NMLS CEO John Carson said: 
    "This partnership is a significant step for NMLS and Rehab Lotteries. Working with a media brand as focused and popular as 'THE IRISH
POST' in the UK will allow for expansion of the player base for the highly successful Rehab Lottery games under the CelticBingo.com brand
and create a new revenue stream for THE IRISH POST."

    Paul Crosbie, CEO of THE IRISH POST newspaper commented:
    "This new initiative through CelticBingo.com will facilitate a new online 'IRISH POST' community through the use of chat, blogging and
promotions allowing THE IRISH POST to develop a presence in the online bingo and games space."
