Hoboken, New Jersey–(Newsfile Corp. – December 14, 2021) – Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMBL) (NASDAQ: GMBLW) (or the “Company”) announced today that it has completed the full migration of its SportNation.com and Vie.bet iGaming sites to its proprietary Idefix platform. Prior to the migration, both iGaming brands had been leveraging a platform from BetConstruct to deliver their iCasino and sportsbook offerings.

“The migration to Idefix is an important milestone for Esports Entertainment Group as it clearly demonstrates our Company’s success in technology development and integration as well as our ability to drive operational efficiencies to enhance the profitability of our iGaming brands,” said Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group. “We expect the consolidation of SportNation and Vie onto our proprietary platform will allow both brands to grow their revenue and enable us to cross-sell our offerings to more efficiently maximize player value. I am extremely proud of our entire team for their hard work, and believe this migration provides a repeatable long-term roadmap for further technology rationalization.”

The Company acquired the Idefix iCasino technology platform as part of the Lucky Dino transaction it completed in December 2020. Sportsbook capabilities from BetBy were integrated into Idefix in preparation for SportNation.com and Vie.bet to launch with a full online offering of casino, sports betting and esports. This also provides options for the future to integrate the sports and esports offerings into existing brands or launch new brands with the full suite of product offerings.

Furthermore, with the migration to Idefix complete, SportNation.com and Vie.bet customers now have access to a full suite of payment solutions and benefit from Idefix’s full player account management system and regulatory features.

(NASDAQ: GMBL) (NASDAQ: GMBLW) (or the “Company”) is excited to announce a new partnership with the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City that will be kicked-off by hosting the first sanctioned esports skill-based wagering event in the United States. EEG and Hard Rock Atlantic City have teamed up to create a tournament on January 22 and 23, 2022 that will launch LANDuel and be the springboard for more esports betting events and permanent installations in the future at the casino and hotel venue.

“We are extremely excited to partner with one of the top global hotel and casino venues to kickstart the world of regulated peer to peer wagering in esports,” said Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group. “This partnership and event are a tremendous accomplishment for our brand and creates a wide variety of opportunities for our groups to explore more innovative esports events.”

The launch will include a two-day 256-player in-person tournament, the first skill-based gaming event approved by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement where participants will be permitted to wager on themselves in each round of the event. Players competing in the event will check-in and create a LANDuel account. Once they’re assigned to a PC, they will begin tournament play.

The event space will also feature a dedicated set of PCs for non-tournament participants to compete in side matches on LANDuel. This allows eligible tournament spectators or casino guests the ability to side-wager in their own matches outside of the tournament. The event will include a showcase stage for the tournament with spectator seating.

About Los Angeles Chargers

Now in their 63rd season, the Chargers continue to stretch the imagination and put on the most exciting show in football. Behind the dramatic games, unforgettable highlights, beloved players, groundbreaking performances, idyllic Southern California setting and best uniforms in the NFL lies an uncompromising drive for success – one rooted in toughness, resilience and good old-fashioned hard work. A charter member of the American Football League, the franchise was established in Los Angeles in 1960 and called the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum home during its first year of existence. From 1961 to 2016, the team played in San Diego and advanced to five of the first six AFL Championship games ever played. The Chargers claimed the 1963 AFL title and later joined the National Football League when the two leagues merged in 1970. Since the merger, the Chargers have gone on to appear in Super Bowl XXIX and have captured an additional 10 division titles. The Chargers were purchased by construction leader, philanthropist and real estate developer Alex G. Spanos in 1984 and have been under the guidance of Spanos’ eldest son Dean, the team’s current Chairman of the Board, since 1994. Dean Spanos’ sons – A.G. Spanos, President of Business Operations, and John Spanos, President of Football Operations – oversee the day-to-day operations of the franchise. The Chargers returned to Los Angeles in 2017, began playing games in their new multi-billion-dollar SoFi Stadium home in 2020 and continue to redefine what an NFL franchise looks like in the 21st century.

Simplicity Esports will earn approximately $225,000 per location in cryptocurrency mining revenue over the next five years, based on current cryptocurrency prices, in addition to game time revenue from each location. Simplicity Esports previously announced it intends to upgrade 450 more of its existing console stations to powerful mining PCs.

The 2021 Frozen Frenzy tournament is free to enter and open to all gamers. Brackets will be generated and posted at start time where gamers can find their opponent and begin play. Match outcomes will be reported by the users at the conclusion of their games.

Players are encouraged to stream during the tournament and share their link on Twitter with @EGL_NA, who will share the link with other players.

The 2021 Frozen Frenzy tournament winner will receive two VIP tickets to the Colts-Raiders game, two VIP Tailgate passes, two Colts jerseys and a team-autographed replica helmet. The tournament runner-up will receive two tickets to the Colts-Raiders game and a TY Hilton-autographed football.

“Gaming is a key part of today’s modern entertainment portfolio, and there are few bigger sensations in the world than Fortnite,” said Roger VanDerSnick, Colts chief sales & marketing officer. “There are thousands of fans who crossover between online gaming and our great sport of pro football, so it only makes sense to combine these two popular pastimes into this unique and fun event.”

“EGL is the leading provider of solutions that enable live and online eSports events and the 2021 Frozen Frenzy tournament offered in partnership with the Indianapolis Colts is yet another avenue in which gamers will be able to compete via our proprietary technology platform,” added Magnus Leppäniemi, President of Esports at Esports Entertainment Group. “We are delighted to advance our relationship with the Colts and look forward to delivering a world-class Fortnite tournament for their fans.”
