Gainey McKenna & Egleston Announces a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against 500.com Limited

NEW YORK, March 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the securities of 500.com Limited ("500.com" or the "Company") (NYSE: WBAI ) pursuant and/or traceable to the Company's IPO on or about November 22, 2013 and between November 22, 2013 and February 25, 2015 (the "Class Period"), alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the "Complaint").

The Complaint alleges that the Company issued materially false and misleading statements to investors by failing to disclose the risk of provincial sports lottery administration centers voluntarily suspending the acceptance of online purchase orders for lottery products.

Further, the Complaint alleges that on January 17, 2015, Sina.com published an article reporting that the certain Chinese governmental authorities issued a notice requiring provincial agencies to conduct self-inspection with regards to unauthorized online lottery sales. On this news, shares of the Company fell $0.60 per share from its previous closing price to close at $17.52 per share on January 20, 2015, further damaging investors. Moreover, the Complaint alleges that on February 25, 2015 the Company announced that certain provincial sports lottery administration centers to which the Company provides sport lottery sales services plan to temporarily suspend accepting online purchase orders for lottery products, in response to a notice issued by governmental authorities. On this news, shares of the Company fell $2.87 per share or over 22% to close at $9.96 per share on February 25, 2015.
