Planetfootball designs, builds and maintains a portfolio of 20 sports Web sites, including Aston Villa, Leeds United and Newcastle United.
Peter Wilkinson, founder of Planetfootball, was also the architect of free ISP Freeserve, currently the UK's leading ISP. Planet Online, Wilkinson's business-oriented ISP, was sold to Energis plc in August 1998 for £75 million (US$122 million).
Planetfootball's content will be a "key driver" to the commercial success of the new gaming group, said to Sports Internet chairman Chris Akers.
