The Opportunity in Gambling

  • The legal online betting market is worth $150 billion and is growing at a CAGR of 8%+
  • As COVID-19 imposes harsh lockdown measures and social gathering restrictions, a lot of casinos or gambling operators are turning to online gambling to expand their online business
  • Traditional brick-and-mortar casinos can only serve to a limited number of gamblers whereas online gambling can be accessed by more people at any time and from anywhere
  • With online betting sites, casino operators can target new markets without having to move to different locations as “gamblers will not need to go to casinos anymore when the casinos can come to them”
  • New markets and online access has caused new subsectors such as esports and virtual sports betting to emerge

The Solution:

FansUnite is a global online gaming company that has developed a full suite of i-gaming products that are taking advantage of this increase in online betting activity in traditional sports, esports, casino and virtual sports. Through their business to consumer (B2C) and business to business (B2B) platforms, the company has now taken in more than $350 million in betting volume since inception, while attracting 300,000 registered users to their brands and producing a state of the art esports and sports software offering currently being utilized by leading companies around the world.

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, the formation of this iGaming super company became a reality when FansUnite acquired Askott Entertainment recently, the highlights of which are as follows:   

  • $27,000,000 Acquisition
  • Over $350,000,000 In Total Bets
  • Over 300,000 Registered Users
  • Strong Emphasis On Esports
  • Over 6,000 Casino Games Onto Platform
  • $5,000,000 Financing In Support Of The Acquisition
  • World Renowned Team

…. And now FANS just made a major leap forward in the esports betting world by becoming Pinnacle’s first odds & data B2B partners, giving them a major competitive advantage over other turnkey B2B esports betting products

“With Pinnacle’s addition and their relationship with GRID Esports, we continue to add the best esports betting data available with the most markets and the best odds. It’s exciting to be the first to offer Pinnacle Solution’ service, and we are honoured they chose to work with us,”

If that was all FANS had to say, this would already be a big announcement … but watch this interview to hear how fast they are moving on the biggest licenses in the gaming world, as well as, how big this industry is set to be in the coming years.

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.

Twitch brings custom esports competitions to streamers in closed beta

Versus is a suite of tools that allows players, organizers, and streamers to host competitions with their communities

  • Twitch and esports go together like a dusting of salt on top of a chocolate chip cookie: the sweetness of victory etc., tempered by the saltiness of defeat
  • Today, Twitch launches Versus — a suite of competitive tools that will let creators on the site organize and manage their own tournaments — which promises to bring those agonies and ecstasies to any streamer who feels like pubstomping their community

Twitch and esports go together like a dusting of salt on top of a chocolate chip cookie: the sweetness of victory etc., tempered by the saltiness of defeat. Today, Twitch launches Versus — a suite of competitive tools that will let creators on the site organize and manage their own tournaments — which promises to bring those agonies and ecstasies to any streamer who feels like pubstomping their community.

While the feature is in closed beta for now, collegiate esports leagues, game devs, and Twitch Rivals competitors (along with some other Twitch streamers) will have access starting today. There is a waitlist you can join if you’re interested in trying out Versus for yourself.

Obviously, this isn’t Twitch’s first foray into esports. Twitch Rivals has been hosting competitions between streamers and pros since last year, and in April, the company rolled out an esports directory to keep viewers updated on the latest tournaments. What’s interesting about Versus is how it’s very similar to Facebook Gaming’s Tournaments. Twitch is playing catch-up! Even so, it’s cool to see good ideas make their way further into the mainstream.

McBookie Ltd sees Increase of 412% Year-over-Year on Gross Gaming Revenue

  • Scottish based operator increased its overall year-over-year turnover for the months of July and August by 108% – from $3M CAD to $6.3M CAD, with 78% of the turnover growth led by the return of sport
  • Increase resulted in a YOY increase in Gross Gaming Revenue over the same period of 412%, resulting in gross gaming revenue of $371K for July and August 2020 and a gross margin of $161K
  • During the same period last year the platform generated $72K in gross gaming revenue resulting in a gross margin loss of $66K

Vancouver, British Columbia and Dundee, Scotland–(September 9, 2020) – FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (CSE: FANS) (OTC Pink: FUNFF), (“FansUnite” or the “Company”), a technology company providing leading online gaming solutions is pleased to announce McBookie Ltd (“McBookie”) has continued its impressive performance since becoming part of FansUnite.

The Scottish based operator increased its overall year-over-year (“YOY”) turnover for the months of July and August by 108% – from $3M CAD to $6.3M CAD, with 78% of the turnover growth led by the return of sport.

The increase resulted in a YOY increase in Gross Gaming Revenue over the same period of 412%, resulting in gross gaming revenue of $371K for July and August 2020 and a gross margin of $161K. During the same period last year the platform generated $72K in gross gaming revenue resulting in a gross margin loss of $66K.

With the strong results over the last two months, McBookie is preparing to continue the positive trend with the return of the English Premier League and the other major European leagues in the coming weeks.

“We are very pleased that McBookie has been able to continue its strong 2020 performance despite the slowdown in sports betting from the global pandemic,” said Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite. “The figures for the past 60 days have been exceptional and continue to validate our belief in this leading B2C betting brand and the management team behind it. For the duration of 2020, major European leagues are set to begin again and present a great opportunity for McBookie to capture the attention of new and existing customers. We will work directly with McBookie in ensuring their presence in the U.K. expands and they are in a position to service this growing user base of bettors.”

“The team at FansUnite has worked very hard to improve all aspects of our business since joining FansUnite and it is great to see that replicated in the numbers,” said Paul Petrie, founder and Director of McBookie. “With just one month to wait until the whole of Scottish football is back, having the resources and expertise of FansUnite helps puts us in an excellent position to continue building on our recent success.”

While the return of sport has provided an uptick in betting volume, casino turnover during the two-month period was strong as well with $3.1M wagered. McBookie will be looking to build on these numbers with the recent launch of a Live Casino product earlier this month.

“After launching a successful Virtual Sports betting offering in March, we decided to expand our platform with the addition of a Live Casino,” continued Paul Petrie. “It represents another betting alternative for our loyal customers and helps us diversify our revenue stream.”

  • Wholly owned subsidiary Askott Entertainment has signed a partnership agreement with Las Vegas based GameCo LLC, a pioneer in skill based iGaming products
  • The partnership will introduce Askott Entertainments esports iGaming platform, Chameleon, to the US regulated market
  • GameCo holds gaming licenses in almost thirty jurisdictions including, New Jersey and Nevada in the United States
  • Askott Entertainment will leverage this US license infrastructure by enabling GameCo to become an official reseller of the Chameleon esports betting platform to new and existing partners which will include U.S based casino operators
  • The partnership agreement will give the combined group an early mover advantage in the U.S. esports iGaming market

Vancouver, British Columbia–(September 2, 2020) – FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (CSE: FANS) (OTC Pink: FUNFF) (“FansUnite” or the “Company”), a technology company providing leading online gaming solutions, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Askott Entertainment has signed a partnership agreement with Las Vegas based GameCo LLC, a pioneer in skill based iGaming products (“GameCo”). The partnership will introduce Askott Entertainments esports iGaming platform, Chameleon, to the US regulated market.

GameCo holds gaming licenses in almost thirty jurisdictions including, New Jersey and Nevada in the United States. Askott Entertainment will leverage this US license infrastructure by enabling GameCo to become an official reseller of the Chameleon esports betting platform to new and existing partners which will include U.S based casino operators. The partnership agreement will give the combined group an early mover advantage in the U.S. esports iGaming market. As the U.S. is one the most desirable and active gambling markets globally, having a presence in that jurisdiction is an integral part of the FansUnite strategy.

“With this newly launched partnership, we are able to showcase our turn-key white label iGaming solution while officially launching our technology into the burgeoning U.S. gaming market,” said Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite Entertainment. “We are aware of the sizable market that the U.S. presents, and understand that esports is a key component to any traditional sportsbooks future betting offering. This partnership with GameCo is a significant inflection point for FansUnite and accelerates our plans to enter the US market by at least 6-12 months.”

“GameCo was born from the founders’ involvement in the esports industry and invented the category of skill-based Video Game Gambling™. We intend to carry our market leadership position in the U.S. regulated market and provide the industry’s leading turkey, outsourced solution for casinos and sportsbooks to offer esports betting,” said Blaine Graboyes, Co-Founder and CEO of GameCo. “Skill-based games and esports betting are one of the few growth opportunities in the U.S. and we believe Askott provides the most capable and innovative platform for offering iGaming and esports betting.”

With the repeal of PASPA in 2018 any state is now allowed to legalize sports betting. Since that time more than $20 billion has been bet with U.S. sportsbooks1.

The global online gambling market could potentially hit $1 TRILLION by the end of this decade.  That is not a typo and the obvious reasons include the following:

1.  Exponential growth in the number of people online.  Yet only 59% of the world means more to come. 

2.  Fast growth in the number of countries and jurisdictions legalizing gambling to collect tax revenue.

3.  Explosive growth in gambling options beyond casino and sports betting.  Fantasy, Esports, etc.

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:

B2C (Business To Consumer)          Gambling platforms that provide services directly to gamblers

B2B (Business To Business) Gambling technology for companies that already have gamblers

The formation of this iGaming super company became a reality when FansUnite acquired Askott Entertainment recently, the highlights of which are as follows:  

  • $27,000,000 Acquisition
  • Over $350,000,000 In Total Bets
  • Over 300,000 Registered Users
  • Rare combination of B2C + B2B Gambling In Small Cap
    • B2C – 4 Platforms
    • B2B –  4 Deals Signed; 2 Are Already Live
  • Askott has integrated over over 6,000 Casino Games Onto Platform
  • $5,000,000 financing closed in support of acquisition
  • World renowned team

For those of you who don’t know what Esports is, it can easily be described as the professionalization of video games.  Whereas video game players were once stereotyped as basement dwelling geeks, today’s top esports players and teams make millions of dollars competing in online tournaments that are watched by millions of people around the world …. 520,000,000 to be exact.

If you think that number is astounding, consider the fact it will grow to 650,000,000 by 2022.

To put the size of esports into perspective, by 2021, esports is projected to have more viewers than every major sports league in the world except the NFL.

….. AND THEY GAMBLE ….A  LOT!

Esports revenues from betting are set to hit record highs in 2020, with revenues expected to double from $7 billion in 2019 to $14 billion, due in no small part to the Covid-19 crisis.

With this massive market up for grabs, the acquisition of Askott provides FANS with a strong opportunity to capture meaningful market share thanks to the following:

  • Recognized globally as a leader and pioneer in esports betting technology
  • Launch of the first ever daily fantasy site dedicated to esports
  • First esports betting site to receive an Isle of Man gaming license in 2017
  • Shortlisted by EGR Magazine for the Esports Betting Supplier of the Year Award.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAMING AND GAMBLING?

The main difference between the terms is that for gaming the outcome is achieved by skill, not chance, whereas for gambling, the opposite is true

  • James helped grow Paradise into one of the top 3 poker sites in the world and oversaw its acquisition by Sportingbet in 2005.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(August 26, 2020) –  FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (CSE: FANS) (OTC Pink: FUNFF), (“FansUnite” or the “Company”), a technology company providing leading online gaming solutions, is pleased to introduce James Keane to the Board of Directors.

James Keane is a pioneer in the online gaming space and was a key member of the ParadisePoker.com (“Paradise”) founding team in 2001. James helped grow Paradise into one of the top 3 poker sites in the world and oversaw its acquisition by Sportingbet in 2005. James remained with Sportingbet holding the position of Manager Director for Paradise and subsequently Managing Director, Emerging Markets. After the sale of Sportingbet to William Hill and GVC Holdings, James consulted in both the online and brick and mortar casino world on growth, M&A, and business execution strategies.

James is currently the CEO of King Show Games ULC, which is an experienced, full-service game development and marketing studio. KSG has created market-leading games for land-based, social, and online casinos in Video Slot, Stepper Slot, and Video Poker.

“We are thrilled to welcome someone of James’s calibre to our team as he brings decades of experience in the gaming industry to the FansUnite Board of Directors,” said Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite. “In addition to being one of the founding members of Paradise Poker, James has first hand experience in managing small organizations and scaling them to large entities that have created shareholder value through subsequent exits. His wealth of knowledge and experience will be a tremendous asset to our organization as we look to expand our business and grow our global footprint in the coming years.”

“As someone that has been in the gaming industry for the past 20 years, I am an advocate in backing teams that have the opportunity for global scale and mass adoption,” said Keane. “After evaluating this organization, I believe the technology and team that has been put together at FansUnite puts the Company in a position to gain market share in a rapidly growing I-gaming market. The recent acquisition of Askott Entertainment now gives us the asset base to capitalize on multiple betting verticals and I could not be more thrilled to join this board of leading gaming executives.”

James will advise the company in various matters, including M&A, financing, US opportunities, casino and emerging markets.
