Friday 10th December 2010

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL VWD MEMBERS

It is with much regret that we have to inform you that Virtual World Direct Limited (e-lottery) has ceased to trade.

This has been brought about by a legal action brought against the Company by the UK Department of Business Innovation and Skills alleging misleading advertising. The Company strenuously denies this and has never received any complaints from any of its customers in this regard, but the Company is unable to defend itself due to the high legal costs involved.

The Company remains fully solvent, without any creditors, and funds held for the benefit of our customers are in the process of being returned.

The El Gordo draw due to take place on 22nd December 2010 will be held as planned and member syndicate placements have been secured.

Outstanding winnings for the UK, EuroMillions and El Gordo Syndicates will automatically be forwarded to members via cheque and posted to the registered address recorded on the player membership account.

Please note that the Company can no longer accept any communication via email or phone.

All enquires relating to the above should be sent via post to:

Virtual World Direct Limited
Generali Tower, Office 9C-1, 9th Floor
Samuel Lewis Avenue
PO Box 0833-00146
Panama City
Republic of Panama

Virtual World Direct Limited would like to take this opportunity to thank all its members for their support over the past eight years and wish you all the very best for the future.
