ST. MARY’S, Antigua, May 17, 2018 — Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (OTCQB:GMBL) (or the “Company”), a licensed online gambling company with a specific focus on esports wagering and 18+ gaming, is pleased to announced financing in the amount of $600,000 with Denver, CO-based First Capital Ventures (“First Capital”), which first provided the Company with financing of $600,000 in March 2017.

Today’s financing announcement represents the exercise of warrants held by First Capital and demonstrates the firm’s continued commitment and confidence in the future of Esports Entertainment Group.

Gary Graham, President & CEO of First Capital stated “Prior to this week’s Supreme Court decision lifting the ban on sports betting by states, Chris Grove of Eilers & Krejcik Gaming projected that esports wagering would reach $23 billion by 2020. As a result of this decision we believe this figure will increase and that the Company’s esports wagering platform VIE.gg is ideally positioned to capitalize on this market. Affiliate marketing agreements with VIE have already been signed with 36 esports teams, as well as, 60 esports streamers representing an audience of esports viewers which collectively had over 250 million online video views in the 30 days prior to their signing. From a business model point of view, we believe the sports book model used by traditional betting sites is fundamentally ill-suited to esports, while the peer-to-peer model used by VIE is ideal for the esports fan demographic. Finally, and perhaps most important to investors, Esports Entertainment Group is currently the only pure, fully reporting public issuer positioned to take advantage in the global esports explosion with its wagering and tournament platform. We are bullish on the Company and look forward to supporting it for years to come.”

Grant Johnson, President & CEO of Esports Entertainment Group stated, “The continued financing and mentoring support of First Capital Ventures is invaluable to our Company and serves as unequivocal validation of our business model. The first round with First Capital was instrumental in the launch of VIE, while this second round will be instrumental in helping launch our multi-player mobile and PC video game tournaments.”

ST. MARY’S, Antigua, May 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (OTCQB:GMBL) (or the “Company”), a licensed online gambling company with a specific focus on esports wagering and 18+ gaming, is pleased to inform shareholders of a decision made by the Supreme Court Of The United States (“SCOTUS”) yesterday in which the Court ruled 6-3 to strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (“PASPA”). The 1992 law barred state-authorized sports gambling with some exceptions and made Nevada the only state where a person could wager on the results of a single game.

Esports Entertainment Group enthusiastically welcomes this decision, which will have a paradigm shifting impact on the growth of the Company’s newly launched esports wagering platform VIE.gg, the industry’s most transparent esports wagering platform and the only dedicated esports bet exchange in the world.

ANTICIPATED IMPACT OF SCOTUS DECISION 

A Bloomberg article covering the decision stated as follows:

• Americans place $150 billion in illegal sports bets every year.
• The U.S. Supreme Court freed states to legalize gambling on individual sporting events, unleashing a race to attract billions of dollars in wagers and heralding a new era.
• Sports gambling could begin in a matter of weeks with the number of states potentially reaching double digits by the end of the year.

With esports betting expected to reach $20 Billion by 2023 prior to yesterday’s SCOTUS decision, the Company now expects this estimate to increase by several more billion dollars.

3 USA ESPORTS TEAMS SIGN AFFILIATE MARKETING AGREEMENTS WITH VIE

Over the past several weeks, VIE has announced the signing of Affiliate Marketing Agreements with 36 esports teams, an accomplishment that has never before been achieved by any esports wagering platform in the world. The Company anticipates more Affiliate Marketing Agreements with esports teams in the coming weeks.  Three of these esports teams are based in the United States as follows:

Re:born CS
R1s1ngSta
Pride Stark

The Company welcomes these pioneering esports teams and looks forward to helping them achieve great success.

As a result of yesterday’s SCOTUS announcement, the Company will significantly increase its focus on esports teams located in the United States.

WHY ESPORTS TEAMS ARE SIGNING WITH VIE

Esports teams want to offer their fans a fair and transparent esports wagering experience. As the world’s only dedicated esports bet exchange, our P2P wagering model means players never play against the house with odds dictated by the house.  Rather, players set their own wagering terms between themselves, resulting in a player always winning.

VIE features wagering on the following esports games:

• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO)
• Dota 2
• Call of Duty
• Hearthstone
• StarCraft II
• League of Legends
• Overwatch
• PUBG

Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group stated “This Supreme Court decision is another great victory in 2018 for esports wagering enthusiasts, which began with the launch of VIE earlier this year.  It is also another great milestone for our loyal shareholders that will now see a very large market open up to the Company.  Given the fact that VIE has already been so well received by 60 esports affiliates and 36 esports teams in such a short period of time, we expect that success and acceptance to accelerate on the heels of this decision. We are very excited at the possibilities created by this landmark decision.”

Burning Foxes stated “Being part of the VIE affiliate program is a big step forward for our organization, which had a big restart in February 2018.  Until now, we have been very weary of online esports wagering due to the recent scandals, as well as, the threat of our fans and players becoming addicted to gambling. However, we have put our trust in VIE due to the wagering controls, cooling off period and other such measures integrated directly into the site for the purpose of making sure players have fun without getting into trouble.  This is something no other esports gambling site has ever done to our knowledge and the reason why we are proud to be part of their affiliate program.”

ST. MARY’S, ANTIGUA, March 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (OTCQB:GMBL) (or the “Company”), a licensed online gambling company with a specific focus on esports wagering and 18+ gaming, is pleased to announce the launch of VIE  (https://vie.gg)  the world’s safest, most secure and transparent esports wagering platform.

VIE offers bet exchange style wagering on esports events in a licensed, regulated and secured platform to the global esports audience, excluding jurisdictions such as the USA that prohibit online gambling. The bet exchange model provides for player versus player betting (PVP) with the house taking a small percentage of each wager, as opposed to a sports book model that pits the player versus the house. Our PVP model means a VIE player always wins and the Company removes all risk, creating a win-win for our players and the Company.

The launch of VIE follows months of extensive, final financial compliance with applicable regulators, financial institutions and payment processors, as well as, beta testing that provided the Company with valuable feedback from esports enthusiasts around the world. VIE features wagering on the following esports games:

• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO)
• Dota 2
• Call of Duty
• Hearthstone
• StarCraft II

LAUNCH ROLL-OUT INCLUDES OVER 60 AFFILIATE STREAMERS AND WORLD LEADING SUPER AFFILIATE

A core element of the Company’s customer acquisition strategy is an affiliate program powered by Income Access, which won eGaming Review’s B2B Award for ‘Affiliate Software’ four years in a row. Income Access has been fully integrated into VIE to manage our affiliate program, which has received attention far beyond Company expectations to this point.

On September 6, 2017, the Company announced the signing of over 60 affiliate esports streamers at gamescom 2017, representing an audience of esports viewers which collectively generated over 250 million online video views in the preceding 30 days.

Some affiliates have already commenced the onboarding process, with the majority expected to be completed over the next 45 days. At that time, VIE will launch a contest for its affiliates that will feature significant prizes and rewards throughout 2018 to further incentivize registrations.  Moreover, with VIE now officially launched, the Company expects strong continual registrations of new affiliates throughout 2018 and beyond.

Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group stated “Today marks a major milestone for Esports Entertainment Group, our investors and the entire esports industry.  With esports experiencing rapid global growth and set to hit mainstream sports in 2018 with the launch of initiatives such as NBA 2K later this year, esports fans have told us loud and clear that they want a licensed, secure and transparent wagering platform to augment their experience.  We are thrilled to launch and deliver VIE to them at this great time for esports.”
During the rollout, the Company expects to announce significant new features, including the addition of multiple languages such as Spanish and Russian next month and further additional languages until all the major languages of global esports enthusiasts are serviced.
