House Resolution 6870

Castle Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:CSTL) announced that the recent introduction of House Resolution 6870, the Payments System Protection Act of 2008, would have a profound positive effect on the Company's operations if the bill becomes a law. The bill was recently passed by the House Financial Services Committee and will be sent to Congress in the near future. There are currently more than 200 online poker Web sites in operation and more than 370,500 people gamble monetarily every day. The Bill would prohibit the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve from proposing, prescribing or implementing any regulations under the Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) apart from those relating to sports betting until the meaning of key definitions have been clarified, and an economic impact study is conducted on the costs associated with compliance. The online gambling business has been projected to reach $48 billion by 2010 and is expected to exceed $125 billion by 2015. The regulation of this multi-billion-dollar business would allow foreign and domestic internet gambling operators to legally accept online bets and in turn generate federal tax revenues ranging from $8.7 billion to $42.8 billion over the next ten years. "While our main focus remains developing and marketing our software abroad, the approval of this resolution would open many doors for us in the United States. The bill would allow countless millions of American online gamblers to utilize our gaming software within the online poker sites," stated David Comeau, President and CEO of Castle Technologies, Inc.
