 PROFILE
Uproar proves game shows never die -- they find new homes on the Internet. Through a network of Web sites, Uproar offers online games, including "Family Feud," "Blowout Bingo," "Puzzle A-Go-Go," and "Trivia Blitz." Web users in the US and Europe can compete in single- or multiplayer games for cash prizes at sites in their own languages. Uproar attracts nearly 12 million unique users monthly and also operates an e-commerce site. In 2000, Uproar acquired iwin.com, a games-for-prizes and Internet lottery site, and ibetcha.com, whose operations the company later discontinued. Director Michael Simon founded Uproar in 1995. Vivendi Universal Publishing's Flipside, Inc. has agreed to acquire Uproar for approximately $140 million.
