SCOTTSDALE, AZ–(Marketwire – October 18, 2010) – DeFi Global, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: LCHL) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Desert Poker, LLC, developers of the interactive online poker gaming site DesertPoker.net, to launch its tournament-style games to users of Facebook. The social gaming platform will be accessible from the Facebook portal, the Apple iPhone and mobile devices using the Android operating system. About one in four, or over 400 million Facebook users, access their social networking platforms using their mobile devices.

More than 70% of all Facebook users engage in platform applications. Among online games, the top poker player site draws over 28 million active users on Facebook each month. “Utilizing DeFi Mobile’s customized, private label mobile application software, we are tapping into the growing number of Facebook users who access the site using their iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Droid devices,” said Bobby Perillo, founder and managing partner of Desert Poker, LLC. “DeFi Global enables us to create a feature-rich set of tools, interactive tutorials and a sweepstake-style cash and prize reward program that delivers all the bells and whistles of a real poker game. DesertPoker.net will allow users to set-up private tables, invite their friends and keep track of the group’s leaderboards. This represents a truly personalized social gaming experience unlike anything on the market today.”

Jeffery Rice, CEO of DeFi Global, Inc., said, “Our agreement with Desert Poker marks our entry into the explosive online gaming sector.
