As a national sponsor of the FIFA World Cup 2006™, Postbank is now offering a stock exchange game with a kick. Football fans and investors can trade with shares in the 32 participating teams at the Internet address www.postbank.de/wmboerse. Prizes worth over EUR 40,000 await the winner of the official Postbank FIFA World Cup 2006™ stock exchange game. Weekly prizes will keep things interesting as well.

At the beginning of the tournament, each player receives an account with a predefined share package and credit. Just like a real stock exchange, the teams’ performance and the participants’ expectations decide the value of the team shares. All matches from the group stages to the final are priced in in real time. Trading takes place daily from 8 in the morning to 1 at night.

We will also provide extra excitement before each FIFA World Cup 2006™ match. For each individual match, “shorts” will be issued. With these, participants can bet on a victory, defeat or a tie by buying the appropriate shares and adding them to the mix in their account. There is even a bonus for whoever can answer the “question of the day”. Extensive graphics, match histories and ranking lists round off the stock exchange kick.
