Compensation Committee Charter

Purpose

The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) of Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. sets compensation levels for the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), all other senior executive officers of the Company and members of the Company’s Board of Directors, establishes compensation, incentive and benefit plans for such individuals and approves payments under such incentive plans.

The Compensation Committee is also responsible for selecting the recipients of stock options, establishing the timing of grants, and setting the option exercise price within the terms of the Option Plan, if any.

The Compensation Committee’s compensation policies are designed to attract and retain highly skilled individuals, reward outstanding individual performance, encourage cooperative team efforts and provide an incentive to enhance long term stockholder value.

In establishing salaries for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers and directors, consideration is given to salary ranges for comparable positions in similar size companies. Data for such comparisons is obtained from nationwide surveys conducted by independent compensation consulting firms and from reviewing other companies’ compensation information included in their proxy statements.

In setting salaries within competitive ranges, the Compensation Committee considers performance related factors including the Company’s overall results during the past year and its performance relative to a budgeted plan or stated objectives. Consideration also is given to an individual’s contribution to the Company and the accomplishments of departments for which that officer has management responsibility. Potential for future contributions to the Company is also taken into account for all executive officers and directors.

Membership

The membership of the Compensation Committee consists of at least three directors, two of whom are independent. The members of the Compensation Committee are elected by the Board at its annual meeting held in conjunction with the annual shareholders meeting. Members of the Compensation Committee shall hold their office until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until such member’s earlier resignation or removal. The Board shall have the power at any time to remove from or add to the membership of the Compensation Committee and to fill vacancies, subject to the independence requirements referred to above. Unless a Chairperson is elected by the full Board, the members of the Compensation Committee may designate a Chairperson by majority vote of the full Compensation Committee membership.

.

Operations

The Compensation Committee meets at least two times a year. Additional meetings may occur as the Compensation Committee or its Chairperson deems advisable. The Committee will cause to be kept, adequate minutes of all its proceedings, and will report its actions to the next meeting of the Board. Compensation Committee members will be furnished with copies of the minutes of each meeting and any action taken by unanimous consent. The Compensation Committee is governed by the same rules regarding meetings (including meetings by conference telephone or similar communications equipment), action without meetings, notice, waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements as are applicable to the Board.
