Stang, Cyberoad Gaming was until a year or so ago a subsidiary of Corel Corporation, the maker of Corel Draw, WordPerfect, etc. It was my understanding they did not want to call attention to their involvement in gaming due to potential regulatory issues. The Cyberoad sportsbooks which include The Mayan Sportsbook, The Big Book and Grandprix Sports are now top 50,000 web sites worldwide based on traffic count and Cyberoad will be deploying new Savant technology within a few months. I do not know if Corel still has an interest in Cyberoad, but, I presume they do as I-gaming is related to what they do best and can be very lucrative. Cyberoad recently completed development of an online casino, however, I'm not aware of any licensing agreements as yet. As to another poster regarding Cryptologic and Monte Carlo, there will be desperate initiatives by some lesser-known development companies to give away web sites in exchange for the royalties. While it may appear Starnet is losing ground based on raw numbers of web sites, this is not a valid measurement as the company has many very large franchisees which continue to grow larger and Starnet will profit from e-cash and other initiatives to be announced soon.
