Interactive Systems Worldwide, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ISWI) has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Interactive Gaming Limited (GIG), has extended its agreement with a subsidiary of Sportingbet Plc, the online sports betting and gaming group, until the end of 2011.
The financial terms of the previous agreement regarding GIG's fees, which specified that GIG's monthly revenue would be determined by the greater of a revenue share percentage and a minimum monthly guarantee, are unchanged and will remain in effect for the duration of the extended agreement.
