LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 1999--Go Bet!, a Los Angeles-based interactive, marketing, entertainment and consulting company, announced that it has signed an on-line gaming endorsement with NFL football and screen star Bubba Smith.
Sports fans and betting afficionados are invited to visit "Bubba's Casino" at bubbascasino.com and open a free wagering account at Bubba Smith's Internet Casino & Sportsbook, which is anticipated to be operational before the start of March Madness.
Smith, a two-time All-American lineman for Michigan State and a three-time NFL All-Pro, played for the Baltimore Colts, Los Angeles Raiders and Houston Oilers. Smith was voted NFL Lineman of the Year. As an actor, Smith has amassed an impressive career in more than a dozen memorable movies and television shows including the "Police Academy" movies, "Black Moon Rising" and "Stroker Ace."
"I am genuinely excited with the opportunity of working with Bubba on this Internet Sportsbook and Casino site," said Anthony Sparango, president of Go Bet!. "Not only is Bubba a well-respected athlete, but his characters in film and television are always recognized and loved.
"It is no surprise that Bubba would be the first NFL athlete to parlay his talents to the world of Internet gaming. Bubba's Casino will be the first place for legitimate, secure and exciting gaming over the Internet," remarked Sparango. "I expect that Bubba's Casino will be an instant hit for those who enjoy the flexibility and freedom of placing wagers from the comfort of their home."
Go Bet! has selected World Gaming Services Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Starnet Communications (OTC BB:SNMM), to be the operator through which the online wagers may be placed at Bubba's Casino.
Because of the legal uncertainties surrounding online wagering in North America, Bubba's Casino will not accept wagers from within the United States or Canada.
$10 billion will be gambled online by the year 2002 according to DataMonitor.
