                           SECTION 302 CERTIFICATIONS

I, John R Bentley, certify that:

1.    I have reviewed this  quarterly  report on form 10-QSB of Electronic  Game
Card, Inc.,

2.    Based on my knowledge,  this report does not contain any untrue  statement
of a  material  fact or omit to  state a  material  fact  necessary  to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements were
made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report.

3.    Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and other  financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition,  results of operations and cash flows of the small business
issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this report.

4.    The  small  business   issuer's  other  certifying   officers  and  I  are
responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in exchange act rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) for the small business
issuer and have:

      a)    designed such  disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
      disclosure  controls and procedures to be designed under our  supervision,
      to ensure that material information relating to the small business issuer,
      including  its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made known to us by others
      within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report
      is being prepared;

      b)    evaluated  the   effectiveness   of  the  small  business   issuer's
      disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and  presented  in this  report our
      conclusions  about  the  effectiveness  of  the  disclosure  controls  and
      procedures,  as of the end of the period  covered  by this  report on such
      evaluation; and

      c)    disclosed in this report any change in the small  business  issuer's
      internal  control over financial  reporting that occurred during the small
      business  issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business issuer's
      fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
      affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business
      issuer's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.    The  small  business  issuer's  other  certifying   officers  and  I  have
disclosed,  based  on our  most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over
financial  reporting,  to the small  business  issuer's  auditors  and the audit
committee of small business  issuer's board of directors (or persons  performing
the equivalent functions):

      a)    all significant  deficiencies and material  weaknesses in the design
      or  operation  of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
      reasonably  likely to adversely affect the small business issuer's ability
      to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

      b)    any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or
      other employees who have a significant role in the small business issuer's
      internal control over financial reporting.

      6.    The registrant's  other certifying  officers and I have indicated in
this quarterly report whether or not there were significant  changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could  significantly  affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of my most recent  evaluation,  including any  corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
