BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- CYOP Systems International Inc. (OTCBB:CYOS), a leading provider of online video games and tournaments of skill, is pleased to announce that it has launched an Italian version of its gaming property at www.skillwin.com.

Doubleworld srl, a Milan based marketing company specializing in online gaming was responsible for the localization of the software and will to market the new web to the Italian market.

Doubleworld srl will also promote and license the Italian version of CYOP's licensed CrediPlay software to third parties including large vertical portals and existing European internet gaming locations.

In 2002 the European online gaming market consisted of 1.6 million participants representing a market approximately 64 percent of the size of the U.S. online gaming market. However, by 2005 the European market will match 80 percent of the expanded U.S. market. In real player terms, Europe will grow to 3.3 million online gamers in 2005 from 1.6 million online gamers in 2002. This impressive 106 percent market growth surpasses U.S. predicted market growth by 42 percent. While the U.S. market still represents solid growth over the next few years, it exhibits traits of market maturity that the European market does not. So as the U.S. hyper growth period for online gaming wanes, it is the European market that will represent the next frontier.

Mitch White, CEO of CYOP, noted, "CYOP's intention is to develop more business in Europe; a growing section of the Internet world that now has over 200 million online, representing only 28% of the total European population. Given that North America has 66% of its total population online, the Company believes that there exists an enormous possibility for expansion into Europe. And given the willingness of the Italian demographic to play games and the understanding of online entertainment in this region, we expect that CYOP's offerings will become household favorites."
