CORPORATE WEBSITE REVISED TO INCLUDE GIG SYSTEM DATA

WEST PATERSON, N.J., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interactive Systems Worldwide, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ISWI) had previously announced (in August 2008) that it had ceased filing its SEC financial reports for an indeterminate time period due to the Company's lack of financial resources and the anticipated expenses associated with the preparation, independent auditor review and filing of these reports. Today, the Company has announced quarterly transaction volumes (i.e. the "Turnover" and the "Hold"), associated with the wagering services provided by Global Interactive Gaming ("GIG"), the Company's wholly owned UK subsidiary, for the period ended December 31, 2008. Also provided are the historical transaction volumes associated with previous quarterly periods commencing with January 2007, which corresponds to the launch of the Company's "integrated" product into live operation (see table below).

The Company intends to provide this transaction volume on a quarterly basis in the future. The purpose of these disclosures is to provide the investment community with some ability to track the progress of the Company's operations despite the Company being delinquent in its SEC financial reporting. This data will also be available on GIG's website (www.gigltd.com), by clicking "Transaction History" on the Press and Contacts page. GIG's website can also be accessed indirectly from the Company's website (www.isw.com).

The Turnover, also called "Handle", is the sum of the amounts wagered under the GIG's service agreements with business partners for its "integrated" solution. Hold, also called "Gross Win", is the amount retained by the business partner after all winning wagers have been paid. All figures are unaudited. In the "integrated" solution, GIG's personnel use the SportXction software to manage certain in-run betting opportunities on behalf of the business partners, who then accept related wagers utilizing their own gaming system. The Turnover and Hold figures below are not directly indicative of GIG's revenue because the fees payable to GIG pursuant to the agreements with its business partners may include a combination of both a revenue share and a monthly minimum. The figures below do not include other sources of revenue for GIG or the Company, such as license fees, software charges, etc. Sports wagering is seasonal. Meaningful comparisons can only be made between comparable periods (year-to-year), not consecutive periods. In addition, some major sports events are not held annually, but are only held every 2 or 4 years.
