  • “Due to overwhelming demand from a broad range of investors, we have decided to increase our private placement offering to $11M from our previously announced target of $5M,” said Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite Entertainment. “The upsizing of our financing provides us with confidence that the investment community believes in our continued vision of becoming a leader in the global iGaming industry, while providing us the necessary capital to pursue strategic opportunities to enhance shareholder value.”

Vancouver, British Columbia–(December 16, 2020) – FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (CSE: FANS) (OTCQB: FUNFF) (“FansUnite” or the “Company“), a technology company providing leading online gaming solutions, is pleased to announce that, due to strong investor demand, it has entered into an amended agreement with Gravitas Securities Inc., as lead agent and sole bookrunner (the “Lead Agent“) on its own behalf and, on behalf of a syndicate of agents including, Haywood Securities Inc. and Mackie Research Capital Corporation (collectively with the Lead Agent, the “Agents“), to increase the size of the previously announced private placement of the Company.

Pursuant to the increase, the Company will offer for sale up to an aggregate of 17,600,000 special warrants of the Company (the “Special Warrants“) at a price of $0.625 per Special Warrant for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $11 million (the “Offering“). The Company has also amended the option granted to the Agents, to provide for the sale of up to an additional 2,640,000 Special Warrants (the “Over-Allotment Option“), which Over-Allotment Option is exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the Offering. The initial closing date is expected to be on or about the week of January 11th, 2021 (the “Closing Date” or “Closing“) and the Offering may be completed in one or more closings at the discretion of the Lead Agent.

Each Special Warrant shall be exercisable, for no additional consideration at the option of the holder, into one unit of the Company (each, a “Unit“), with each Unit being comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share“) and one half (1/2) of one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share“) at an exercise price of $0.78 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months after Closing (the “Expiry Date“).

“Due to overwhelming demand from a broad range of investors, we have decided to increase our private placement offering to $11M from our previously announced target of $5M,” said Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite Entertainment. “The upsizing of our financing provides us with confidence that the investment community believes in our continued vision of becoming a leader in the global iGaming industry, while providing us the necessary capital to pursue strategic opportunities to enhance shareholder value.”

The net proceeds raised under the Offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Company will prepare and file with each of the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario, (the “Jurisdictions“) and obtain a receipt for, a final short form prospectus (the “Final Prospectus“), qualifying the distribution of the securities issued pursuant to the Offering, in compliance with applicable securities law, within sixty (60) days from the Closing of the Offering.

In the event that the Company has not received a receipt for the Final Prospectus within sixty (60) days following the Closing, each unexercised Special Warrant will thereafter entitle the holder thereof to receive upon the exercise thereof, at no additional consideration, one-and-one-tenth (1.10) Unit (instead of one Unit) (the “Penalty Ratio“), provided that nothing shall require the Company to issue fractional Units or Common Shares and Warrant Shares underlying such Units, and any fractions resulting from the application of the Penalty Ratio shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

VIDEO – FansUnite $FANS.ca $FUNFF Malta Gaming Licences Open Up Europe + 150 Jurisdictions. U.K. Is Next and Sights Set On Canada $SCR.ca $BRAG.ca $TNA.ca $FDM.ca $JJ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:02 PM on Wednesday, December 9th, 2020

The global online gambling market could potentially hit $1 TRILLION by the end of this decade. That isn’t a typo and the reasons are pretty clear – more jurisdictions are legalizing online gambling to get their hands on the tax revenue and the remaining 40% of people on the planet without internet access are going to get it.  

Until recently, however, small-cap investors did not have a company that could provide them ground floor exposure to this massive market and its growth over the next 10 years.  The industry was dominated by the big traditional gambling companies, who focus heavily on old fashioned gambling. 

That all changes with FansUnite, the small cap iGaming super company that goes beyond simple gambling and attacks both sides of the iGaming market by offering both B2C and B2B gambling platforms.  

More than just lip service, FANS recently announced a record October, with the highest increase in monthly revenue and gross margin in the Company’s history.

MALTA LICENCES DONE …. U.K. AND CANADA ARE NEXT

If that was all FANS accomplished in Q4, investors would be really happy  … but watch this interview to hear just how big of an impact the Company’s 2 new Malta gaming licenses are to the future expansion of the Company.  The business development doors are now wide open for Europe and 150 jurisdictions.  Moreover, with the U.K. having its own gaming licenses, FANS is already in pursuit and is feeling confident given its success with Malta. 

If that wasn’t enough, FANS is also strongly positioned for a proposed change to Canadian gambling laws that could become a massive opportunity for the Canadian gambling and gaming company.  

If you are looking for a disruptive technology company that is well positioned to carve out its share of the massive online gambling world, then you need to watch or listen to this interview with FANS CEO, Scott Burton.

VIDEO – $TGS.ca #Esports $6M Acquisition Of Pepper Esports Is Creating A Killer Esports Ecosystem $DKNG $PENN $GAN $ESPO $AESE $EGLX.ca $BRAG.ca $FDM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:54 PM on Monday, December 7th, 2020
TGS Esports Announces Intent to Acquire Canadian Esports and Digital Media  Startup, Volcanic Media

There is no denying the world of esports was already on a rapid growth rate prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.  However, according to TGS Esports (TGS:TSXV), the growth and awareness of esports over the past several months has accelerated the industry by at least a couple of years, if not more.

Recognizing this trend, TGS pivoted quickly from venue based esports to becoming a leader in esports events, sponsorship and productions.  More than just lip service, tournaments hosted to date have been sponsored by the likes of:

  • Pepsi
  • Red Bull
  • 7-11
  • Shaw Cable

More than just events, TGS also creates high quality production value out of these events, which have already seen more than 20,000 hours of viewership on Twitch and featured on GINX Esports TV (Canada), with the potential to expand with GINX to over 50 countries.

If the story ended there, TGS would have the makings of a great early stage esports story …. but it doesn’t

$6 MILLION ACQUISITION OF “PEPPER ESPORTS” 

The recent acquisition of Pepper Esports takes the TGS offering to a whole different level by providing everyone from enterprise sized clients to small business to a group of buddies to create their own esports tournaments.  The platform is so powerful it will handle everything from registration to game play, prize payouts and everything in between that an entity needs to host a successful esports tournament.

Awesome right?  No, it gets better.  

Hosting your own esports tournament is FREE.  TGS and Pepper figured out that the best way to get mass usage of their platform is to make it $0 upfront and generate $$ from revenue share on all transactions that take place during the tournament.

When you bolt on the fact that TGS can now broadcast that tournament, the Company believes its offering can’t be matched anywhere in the world.  

We like it so much that we’re already considering hosting Agoracom esports tournaments for clients and shareholders who can either play or watch.  

 Awesome right?  No, it gets better.  

TGS isn’t stopping at Pepper Esports.  They also announced their Intent to Acquire Canadian Esports and Digital Media Startup, Volcanic Media

Why? Volcanic was founded in 2018 and is the creator of the National Esports Scholastic League, a first of its kind initiative that works directly with school districts and educators to create various esports initiatives. To date Volcanic has worked with over 1000 high school students in 13 different cities spanning 6 school districts.

With 30% of kids under 18 playing esports right now – and many of them unable to play physical sports – the growth of high school esports is where you want to be.

TGS Esports Formed Discover Management To Support the Next Wave of Gaming Creators, Influencers, and Streamers

Why? CEO Khouri stated “At TGS we are working with creators on a daily basis. One constant we have dealt with is that creators love creating but may not have the experience with brand deals or legal matters” said Spiro Khouri , co-founder and CEO of TGS. “We’re helping creators legitimize their career path and guiding them through that process. At the same time, we’re able to connect our partner brands with creators to create mutually beneficial relationships.”

With 7,000,000 esports streamers on Twitch right now, TGS is pretty confident in its ability to match the right creators with the right brands, which only serves to further strengthen their ecosystem.

Watch this great interview with the CEO Spiro Khouri to find out how TGS is planning to play a major role in the growth of esports this decade.

FansUnite Entertainment $FANS.ca $FUNFF Receives Malta Gaming Service License and Critical Gaming Supply License $SCR.ca $BRAG.ca $TNA.ca $FDM.ca $JJ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:42 AM on Monday, December 7th, 2020
  • Received approval from the Malta Gaming Authority
  • The Gaming Service License and Critical Gaming Supply license were received on December 4th, 2020.
  • Both licenses are effective for a term of 10 years from the date of grant.
  • Approval allows FansUnite to offer B2B and B2C gambling services throughout Europe
  • FansUnite will now be able to offer a full spectrum of online gambling services in Europe, covering Casino, Fixed Odds Betting, Pool Betting and Controlled Skilled Games.
  • With MGA approval received, FansUnite will be joining other highly respected gambling companies such as PokerStars, Betfair and Unibet in operating their business within MGA regulations.

Vancouver, British Columbia and Sliema, Malta–(December 7, 2020) – FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (CSE: FANS) (OTCQB: FUNFF) (“FansUnite” or the “Company”), a technology company providing leading online gaming solutions, is pleased to announce that Askott Entertainment (Malta) Ltd. and E.G.G Limited, wholly owned subsidiaries of FansUnite Entertainment, have received approval from the Malta Gaming Authority (“MGA”). The Gaming Service License and Critical Gaming Supply license were received on December 4th, 2020. Both licenses are effective for a term of 10 years from the date of grant.

FansUnite will now be able to offer a full spectrum of online gambling services in Europe, covering Casino, Fixed Odds Betting, Pool Betting and Controlled Skilled Games.

With MGA approval received, FansUnite will be joining other highly respected gambling companies such as PokerStars, Betfair and Unibet in operating their business within MGA regulations.

The Malta Gaming Authority is a gambling regulatory organization that provides top-tier industry standard gaming licenses that are in line with EU laws and regulations. With the MGA licenses, FansUnite will receive full credibility as a trusted betting platform supplier and casino operator in Europe, which will result in the company gaining significant recognition in the online gambling market. The company will also obtain accessibility to new markets as operators registered under EU legislation can utilize FansUnite’s B2B and B2C products, respectively. Other benefits of the MGA licenses include a variety of payment methods that will result in smoother transactions and a corporate-friendly tax system.

Overview of Gaming Licenses Acquired by FansUnite

The Critical Gaming Supply License has been received by Askott Entertainment (Malta) Ltd. This B2B license enables FansUnite to sell its proprietary software to a broad spectrum of licensed sports betting and iGaming operators throughout Europe.

The Gaming Service License has been granted to E.G.G. Limited (Malta). This B2C license allows FansUnite to operate its own brands and game offerings within the EU market. In addition, FansUnite will gain full rights to provide full white label services to partners, eliminating the need for them to undergo the licensing process, software testing procedures, payment processing configurations and banking requirements.

According to the EU Gaming and Betting Association, the EU online gambling market is growing at about 10% per year and the gross gaming revenue of the EU sector is expected to rise to €29.3 billion by 20221.

“The Malta Gaming Authority license is widely considered one of the most prestigious gambling licenses in the industry and receiving it represents a major milestone in our development as a betting and iGaming company,” said Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite Entertainment. “Having spent years building our technology to a global standard that is desirable by international regulatory bodies, we were able to meet Malta’s extremely stringent and rigorous technical, software, and corporate audits and qualify for two separate licenses. With the approval in hand, we will look to continue executing on our growth strategy, by collaborating with new partners in Europe in order to distribute our sports and esports betting platform along with our RNG casino game titles to an expanded customer base.”

FansUnite will immediately commence extensive business development to promote iGaming and sports betting services to both end customers and online casino and sportsbook operators in Europe.
