Annual Shareholders' Meeting resolves to pay dividend of 50 cents per share
Oliver Jaster elected to Supervisory Board 

(Hamburg, 29 May 2008) The third Annual Shareholders' Meeting of Tipp24 AG
was held on 29 May 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Hamburg. Around 55
shareholders and guests were present at the event. A total of 56,18 percent
of share capital was represented.

The Executive Board of Tipp24 AG can look back on a successful fiscal year
2007. The record jackpot helped produce a massive increase in customer
figures and the company’s UK market entry led to a further expansion of
foreign activities.

As a result of strong progress over the last few years, the Annual
Shareholders' Meeting decided to pay out the company’s first-ever dividend,
amounting to 50 cents per share for the fiscal year 2007. The payment is to
mark the beginning of regular dividend distribution.

Despite adverse conditions brought about by the German State Treaty on
Gaming, the company succeeded in maintaining its dynamic growth. Jens
Schumann, founder and Chairman of the Executive Board of Tipp24, states:
'Numerous legal experts and institutions, such as the Federal Cartel
Office, the EU Commission and the Scientific Services of the state
parliament of Schleswig-Holstein, believe that the State Treaty on Gaming
contravenes constitutional, antitrust and EU law. This has also been
confirmed by 14 Administrative Courts. We also continue to believe that
this State Treaty contravenes valid law. This made our achievements in 2007
all the more remarkable.'

Following the investment of Günther Holding, now the largest shareholder
Tipp24 AG with 25.45 percent of share capital, Oliver Jaster – CEO of the
successful family company – has been elected to the Supervisory Board with
immediate effect. He replaces Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Jenckel, who no longer stood
for election after serving almost three years on the Supervisory Board.

The Annual Shareholders' Meeting adopted all items on the agenda.
