Sportingbet.com (UK) Plc
 PROFILE
Sportingbet.com (UK) plans to be the hot top tip in global online gambling, ever since it went live in 1998 and was floated on the OFEX trading facility in 1999. Founder and managing director Mark Blandford has already won acclaim for his innovative abilities, having set up the first British company to offer tax-free sports betting. The company is going global with acquisitions of Betmaker.com in Costa Rica and SportsBook in Antigua, an exclusive deal with sports betting marketing group Sing Invests, and by offering betting lines for US leagues such as the National Basketball Association. Based and licensed in Alderney in the Channel Islands, it's fully regulated under British law. Blandford owns 23% of the company.
