Gentlemen:

         We have examined the registration statement on Form S-8 of RTG
Ventures, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Registrant"), to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement"), relating to
the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 3,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), under the Modified Retainer Agreement with Gottbetter & Partners, LLP
dated January 24, 2005 (the "Retainer"). As your counsel in connection with this
transaction, we have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the
proceedings proposed to be taken by you in connection with the issuance and sale
of the Common Stock pursuant to the Retainer.

         We are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock, when issued and
sold in the manner described in the Retainer, will be legally and validly
issued, fully-paid and non- assessable.

         We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration
statement and further consent to all references to us in the registration
statement and any amendments thereto.

Very truly yours,

GOTTBETTER & PARTNERS, LLP
