ZONE 4 PLAY, INC. Israel R&D Center Kyriat Atidim, Bldg. 2 Tel Aviv 61580, Israel PROXY STATEMENT This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors, or board, of Zone 4 Play, Inc., a Nevada corporation, referred to herein as "Zone4Play", "the Company" "we", "us" or "our", of proxies to be voted at special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of our stockholders to be held on Thursday, April 29, 2008, referred to herein as the Meeting, at our offices at Israel R&D Center, Kyriat Atidim, Bldg. 2, Tel Aviv 61580, Israel, and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof. The holders of record of our Common Stock, as of the close of business on March 17, 2008, or the Record Date, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof. As of the Record Date, there were 32,319,031 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote on any matter presented at the Meeting. If proxies in the accompanying form are properly voted and received, the shares of our Common Stock represented thereby will be voted in the manner specified therein. If not otherwise specified, the shares of our Common Stock represented by the proxies will be voted: (1) FOR the re-election of the four individuals named below as directors; and (2) FOR the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effectuate a name change of the Company from Zone 4 Play, Inc. to Win Gaming Media, Inc.; (3) FOR the approval of the transaction by and between us and Mr. Citron; and (4) in the discretion of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy, on any other proposals which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof. Any stockholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted, by written notice addressed to and received by our Corporate Secretary, at the address above, by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by electing to vote in person at the Meeting. The mere presence at the Meeting of the person appointing a proxy does not, however, revoke the appointment. The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of shares of our Common Stock having a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum. Abstentions are included in the shares present at the Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Broker non-votes, or when shares are represented at the Meeting by a proxy specifically conferring only limited authority to vote on certain matters and no authority to vote on other matters, are included in the determination of the number of shares represented at the Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but are not counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved in matters where the proxy does not confer the authority to vote on such proposal, and thus have no effect on its outcome for matters requiring a plurality of votes or affirmative votes of a majority of shares present and voting on the matter. Because the amendment to the articles of incorporation and the election of directors are "routine" matters, brokers have discretion to vote these matters provided the broker giving or authorizing the giving of the proxy has no knowledge of any contest as to the action to be taken at the meeting and provided such action is adequately disclosed to stockholders and does not include authorization for a merger, consolidation or any other matter which may affect substantially the rights or privileges of such stock. On or about April 15, 2008, this proxy statement, together with the related proxy card, is being mailed to our stockholders of record as of the Record Date. Our annual report to our stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, or fiscal 2007, including our financial statements, will be mailed to all of our stockholders of record as of the Record Date together with the proxy statement. In addition, we will provided brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees and their nominees, at our expense, with additional copies of our annual report so that our record holders could supply these materials to our beneficial owners as of the Record Date.
PROPOSAL 1 RE-ELECTION OF ELECTED DIRECTORS OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" RE-ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. At the Meeting, four presiding directors are to be re-elected. This number shall constitute our entire board of directors, to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. The affirmative vote by the holders of a plurality of the shares of our Common Stock represented at the Meeting is required for the election of directors, provided a quorum is present in person or by proxy. Plurality means that the four individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast "FOR" will continue to serve as directors, even though such individuals may not receive a majority of the votes cast. Unless otherwise specified in the proxy, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the stock represented thereby for re-election as directors, each of the individuals whose names and biographies appear below. All of the individuals whose names and biographies appear below are presently our directors. In the event any of the individuals should become unavailable or unable to serve as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute individuals designated by our board of directors. Our board has no reason to believe that the individuals named will be unable to serve if elected. Each individual has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if affirmed. The following are the nominees for election to our board, and all of these nominees are current members of our board: NAME AGE DIRECTOR SINCE POSITION WITH ZONE4PLAY --------------- ------- ------- ------------------------------------ Shimon Citron 52 2001 Director Adiv Baruch 44 2006 Director Niv Zilberstein 42 2007 Director Steve Baker 55 2007 Director and Chief Executive Officer The principal occupations and business experience of each director and nominee for at least the past five years is as follows: SHIMON CITRON.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND NAME CHANGE At the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to approve the filing of an amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation to effectuate a name change of the Company from Zone4Play, Inc. to Win Gaming Media, Inc.; In order to approve such amendment the votes cast in the meeting favoring the action must exceed the votes cast in the meeting opposing the action. The filing of an amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation which is required to effectuate the change of the Company's name from Zone 4 Play., Inc. to Win Gaming Media, Inc. was recommended by a majority of the Board and approved by a Board resolution dated March 10, 2008. The management and the Board believe that the name change to Win Gaming Media, Inc. would be in the best interest of the Company and better and more accurately depict the Company's current activity and the transition from a highly-fragmented organization to a more focused entity. It would also present an improved and consistent brand-image and appeal. PROPOSAL 3 APPROVE THE CONVERTIBLE DEBT TRANSACTION WITH SHIMON CITRON OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE CONVERTIBLE DEBT TRANSACTION At the Meeting the shareholders will be asked to approve the Convertible Debt transaction with Mr. Shimon Citron. The transaction is documented by a Convertible Loan Agreement, a Convertible Promissory Note, a Security Agreement and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant, all of which are dated as of March 6, 2008 and are collectively referred to as the Loan Agreement Documents. The transaction was approved on March 10, 2008 by a majority of the Board (not including the vote of Mr. Citron who is a director and an interested party in the transaction). The Board recommended that the Shareholders approve the transaction as being in the best interests of the Company. In order to approve the Loan Agreement Documents, the votes cast in the meeting favoring the action must exceed the votes cast in the meeting opposing the action. Under the Loan Agreement Documents, Mr. Citron would provide the Company with a loan in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, which is to be advanced to the Company in seven monthly installments of different amounts commencing February 24, 2008 and ending July 9, 2008. As of the date hereof, payments in the aggregate amount of $100,000 have been transferred to the Company. If the transaction is not approved by the shareholders at the Meeting, Mr. Citron will have the right to convert any amount already advanced to the Company into shares of the Company's Common Stock and Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. - 3 -
In addition, the parties agreed to the following in the Loan Agreement Documents: o The Company would issue a Secured Promissory Note to Mr. Citron, which Note shall be convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per-share conversion price equal to the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock for the five trading days preceding the date on which the first monthly installment if advanced by Mr. Citron. The first advance occurred on February 24, 2008. The conversion price per share, based on the foregoing formula, is $0.0595 per share of Common Stock. The Note will accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum. Payment of principal and interest by the Company will be payable in cash, or at the election of Mr. Citron in shares of Common Stock valued at $0.0595. The Note also contains customary events of default, including receivership or bankruptcy proceedings, judgments in access of $100,000, and certain trading and SEC suspensions. The Note Matures on February 24, 2009. o The Company would issue to Mr. Citron a five-year Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to $500,000 worth of shares of Common Stock of the Company, calculated as $500,000 divided by the conversion price set forth above. The Warrant would permit the purchase of 8,403,361 shares of Common Stock at an price of $0.0595 per share. o The Company would enter a Security Agreement to secure the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Loan Agreement Documents. The Company has agreed to grant to Mr. Citron a first ranking priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. o In addition, the Company would agree to file within 60 days of conversion of the Notes a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, to register resales of the shares issued to Mr. Citron under the Note and the Warrant. Mr. Citron will have the option for one year from the effective date of such registration statement to purchase up to an additional $500,000 worth of Common Stock and Warrants at a price of $0.0595 per share. Copies of the Loan Agreement Documents were furnished with our current report on Form 8-K, furnished to the SEC on March 14, 2008. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES Because we are not listed on any stock market, we technically are not subject to a number of corporate governance guidelines. Nevertheless, our board recently has reviewed our governance practices in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. We have voluntarily adopted a number of corporate governance guidelines and practices. There are others, however, that we have not adopted because we feel that they are impractical for a company of our size. Our board of directors has adopted the following corporate governance guidelines to assist it in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities and to serve the best interests of Zone4Play and its stockholders. These guidelines, which provide a framework for the conduct of our board's business, include that: o the principal responsibility of the directors is to oversee the management of Zone4Play; o our outside directors will meet regularly in executive session; and o our directors have full and free access to management and, as necessary and appropriate, independent advisors. - 4 -
COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS Our Board of Directors held 11 meetings during fiscal 2007. Throughout this period, each member of our board who was a director in fiscal 2007 attended or participated in at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of regularly scheduled meetings of our Board held during the period for which such person has been a director, and the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board on which each the director served during the periods the director served. Our Board of Directors has two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Shimon Citron and Niv Zilberstein. Our Compensation Committee held one meeting during fiscal 2007. The Compensation Committee does not have a charter. Our Compensation Committee will make recommendations concerning salaries and incentive compensation for our management and our employees. The primary responsibilities of our Compensation Committee include: o annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation; o reviewing and approving, or recommending for approval by our board, the salaries and incentive compensation of our executive officers; o administering our 2004 Global Share Option Plan; and o reviewing and making recommendations to our board with respect to director compensation. AUDIT COMMITTEE. The sole member of our Audit Committee is Mr. Adiv Baruch. Our Board has determined that Mr. Adiv Baruch satisfies the definition of an "audit committee financial expert" as set forth in Item 407 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC due to his experience as described above. The Audit Committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board. The primary responsibilities of our Audit Committee include: o appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm; o overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm, including through the receipt and consideration of certain reports from our independent registered public accounting firm; o reviewing and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our annual and quarterly financial statements and related disclosures; o monitoring our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and code of business conduct and ethics; o overseeing our internal audit function; o discussing our risk management policies; o establishing policies regarding hiring employees from our independent registered public accounting firm and procedures for the receipt and retention of accounting related complaints and concerns; o meeting independently with our internal auditing staff, independent registered public accounting firm and management; and o preparing the audit committee report required by SEC rules, which is included on page 6 of this proxy statement. NOMINATING/CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE; DIRECTOR CANDIDATES. Zone4Play does not have a Nominating Committee or Corporate Governance Committee or any committees of a similar nature, nor any charter governing the nomination process. Our Board does not believe that such committees are needed for a company our size. However, our outside directors, Messrs. Baruch and Zilberstein, will consider stockholder suggestions for additions to our board. - 5 -
In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in the Board's slate of recommended director nominees, our outside directors will apply criteria including the candidate's integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our business and industry, age, experience, diligence, conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interests of all stockholders. No particular criterion will be a prerequisite or will be assigned a specific weight. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the board to fulfill its responsibilities. Stockholders may recommend individuals to any one of our outside directors by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials and a statement as to whether the stockholder or group of stockholders making the recommendation has beneficially owned more than 5% of our Common Stock for at least one year as of the date such recommendation is made. Such requests should be addressed to any of our outside directors c/o Zone4Play at the address on the first page of this proxy statement. In fiscal 2007, we did not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential nominees for our board. We have not received any recommendations from stockholders for Board nominees. COMMUNICATING WITH OUR INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS Our Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders, and will respond if and as appropriate. Mr. Steve Baker as Acting President and CEO, with the assistance of our outside counsel, is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from our stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the other directors as he considers appropriate. Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that Mr. Steve Baker considers to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications. Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to our board should address such communications to: Board of Directors c/o Zone4Play at the address on the first page of this proxy statement. ATTENDANCE AT SPECIAL AND ANNUAL STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS We encourage our directors to attend our special and annual stockholders meetings. We did not have an annual meeting of stockholders in 2006 or 2007.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE Management is responsible for our financial reporting process, including its system of internal controls and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and review these processes. As appropriate, the Audit Committee reviews and evaluates, and discusses with our management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the following: o the plan for, and the independent registered public accounting firm's report on, each audit of our financial statements; o the independent registered public accounting firm's review of our unaudited interim financial statements; o our financial disclosure documents, including all financial statements and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or sent to stockholders; o our management's selection, application and disclosure of critical accounting policies; o changes in our accounting practices, principles, controls or methodologies; o significant developments or changes in accounting rules applicable to us; and o the adequacy of our internal controls and accounting and financial personnel. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with our management our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Audit Committee will also review and discuss the audited financial statements and the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 titled Communication with Audit Committees, with our independent registered public accounting firm. These standards require our independent registered public accounting firm to discuss with our Audit Committee, among other things, the following: o methods used to account for significant unusual transactions; o the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus; o the process used by management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the auditors' conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and o disagreements with management over the application of accounting principles, the basis for management's accounting estimates and the disclosures in the financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, titled Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 requires auditors annually to disclose in writing all relationships that, in the auditor's professional opinion, may reasonably be thought to bear on independence, confirm their perceived independence and engage in a discussion of independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm their independence from Zone4Play. The Audit Committee also considered whether our independent registered public accounting firm's provision of certain other non-audit related services to Zone4Play is compatible with maintaining our auditors' independence, and concluded that it was compatible. Based on our discussions with management and our independent registered public accounting firm, and our review of the representations and information provided by our management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
