Item 9.       Undertakings

                     A.     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement and (iii) to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses
(1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof and (3) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the iwin.com, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan, the iwin.com,
Inc. 1999 Secondary Stock Plan, the Take Aim Holdings Ltd. 1999-2000 Stock
Incentive Plan and the Uproar Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.

                     B.     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                     C.     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized
in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of
the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933
Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

intentional misconduct, or knowing violations of law, for actions leading to
improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or

Item 9.       Undertakings

                     A.     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement and (iii) to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses
(1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof and (3) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the iwin.com, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan, the iwin.com,
Inc. 1999 Secondary Stock Plan, the Take Aim Holdings Ltd. 1999-2000 Stock
Incentive Plan and the Uproar Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.

                     B.     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                     C.     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized
in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of
the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933
Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused
this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York on this
