St. Mary’s, Antigua – February 6, 2017 – VGambling Inc. (“VGambling” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: GMBL), a licensed online gambling company with a specific focus on eSports wagering, announced today that it has executed a term sheet for its $850,000 Bridge Round financing. The Financing, available exclusively through Denver, CO-based First Capital Ventures (“First Capital”) is intended to complete the Company’s disruptive peer-to-peer eSports wagering platform and launch its eSports websites. The Financing is expected to be completed within the next 30-45 days, with the first significant traunch expected on or before February 15.
“Fortune Magazine has reported that the eSports fan base will outstrip the NFL in 2017, while Chris Grove of Eilers & Krejcik Gaming projects that fans of eSports fans will wager $23 billion by 2020”, stated Gary Graham, President & CEO of First Capital. “Yet traditional betting sites employ a sports book model that is fundamentally ill-suited to eSports. VGambling will be the first to offer a peer-to-peer wagering model dedicated to eSports, and it will be the only site to cover all 5,600 pro tournaments each year (existing sites cover approximately 50 or fewer). And perhaps most important to investors, VGambling is currently the ONLY public vehicle for participating in the global eSports phenomenon. We believe that VGambling is an optimal eSports entry point.”
Grant Johnson, President & CEO of VGambling stated, “We are excited to have secured this financing committment from First Capital Ventures. The eSports industry is accelerating at a phenomenal rate and this financing allows us to completion of our eSports wagering platform and launch of our global scale marketing programs.”
