4   ACQUISITION OF SPIN GAMES LLC

On June 1, 2022, the Company announced that it had acquired Spin.

The Company signed a purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests of Spin in a cash and share transaction for an undiscounted purchase price of EUR 17,179 (USD 18,402). Pursuant to the transaction, the sellers of Spin received EUR 10,626 (USD 11,383) in cash, EUR 1,426 (USD 1,528) in common shares of the Company and is expected to receive EUR 4,347 (USD 4,657) worth of common shares of the Company over the next three years. The fair value of the deferred consideration was determined using a put option pricing model with volatility of between 71.4% and 80.9%, annual dividend rate of 0%, and time to maturity of 1-3 years.

Concurrently with the payment of consideration on June 1, 2022, EUR 661 of loans payable to the sellers of Spin were settled in cash.

The fair value allocations which follow are based on the preliminary purchase price allocations conducted by management.

ACQUISITION OF SPIN GAMES LLC (CONTINUED)

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, an accretion expense of EUR 51 and EUR 309, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2022: EUR 93 and EUR 127, respectively) relating to deferred consideration was recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) and comprehensive (loss) income.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, a (loss) gain on remeasurement of deferred consideration of EUR (1,095) and EUR (387), respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2022: EUR 52 and EUR 521, respectively) was recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) and comprehensive loss (income).

On June 1, 2023, the Company settled the first tranche of deferred consideration in stock amounting to EUR 1,112.

As at September 30, 2023, the Company measured the present value of deferred consideration  to be paid in common shares of EUR 1,511 and EUR 1,378 recorded in current and non-current liabilities, respectively (December 31, 2022: EUR 1,176 and EUR 2,121 in current and non-current liabilities, respectively).

The present value of deferred consideration is measured by determining the period-end share price and the discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) applying Finnerty’s average-strike put option model (2012) applying a annual dividend rate of 0.0% and volatility of between 51.2% and 61.0% resulting in a DLOM of 9.5% and 17.1% for the second and third anniversary settlement of consideration, respectively.

Pro-forma revenues and net loss for the comparative period in 2022

On a pro-forma basis Spin generated revenue of EUR 842 and EUR 2,308 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. This would have resulted in consolidated revenues of EUR 20,899 and EUR 62,256 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

On a pro-forma basis Spin contributed net loss of EUR 1,088 and EUR 2,080 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. This would have resulted in consolidated net loss of EUR 1,998 and EUR 3,456 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

5   CONVERTIBLE DEBT

On September 5, 2022, the Company entered into a convertible security funding agreement (the “funding agreement”) for an investment of EUR 8,770 (USD 8,700) with Lind in the form of a convertible debt with a face value of EUR 10,081 (USD 10,000), bearing interest at an inherent rate of 7.5% maturing 24 months after issuance. Net proceeds after deducting transaction fees were EUR 8,053. The face value of the convertible debt has a 24-month maturity date and can be paid in cash or be converted into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 87.5% of the five-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") immediately prior to each conversion. Common shares of the Company issued upon conversion are subject to a 120-day lock-up period following deal close.

CONVERTIBLE DEBT (CONTINUED)

The Funding Agreement contains restrictions on how much may be converted in any particular month, which is limited to 1/20th of the outstanding balance or USD 1,000 if exchange volume is above a specified minimum, which conversions may be accelerated in certain circumstances. The Company also has the option at any time to buy back the entire remaining balance of the convertible debt, subject to a partial conversion right in favor of Lind to convert up to one-third of the outstanding amount into common shares of the Company in such circumstances. In connection with the convertible debt, Lind was issued warrants to purchase up to 979,048 common shares of the Company at a price of CAD 9.28 per share for a period of 60 months (Note 7).

The value of the convertible debt is equal to the value of the debt-like host instrument based on market participants’ current required yield for debt-like instruments with similar credit quality and terms (excluding the buy-back or conversion options), plus the value of the embedded derivatives.

The host debt component is fair valued by discounting the value of the expected future cash flows under the terms of the Funding Agreement using a market cost of debt of 7.5% for an equivalent non-convertible bond. The fair value of the convertible debt without the embedded derivatives (the “Host Debt”) has been estimated by reference to the income approach using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. Using this approach, the present value of the Host Debt on September 5, 2022 was determined to be EUR 8,723 (USD 8,653).

On September 5, 2022, to value the embedded derivatives, representing the conversion options (“Conversion Options”), option pricing methodology by reference to a Monte Carlo Simulation model (“MCS”) has been applied as a series of 20 call options with a strike price of 87.5% of the 5-day future VWAP immediately prior to each conversion date. Key valuation inputs and assumptions used in the MCS are stock price of CAD 6.188, expected life of between 0.42 and 2.00 years, annualized volatility of between 65.32% and 75.54%, annual risk-free rate of between 3.6% and 3.7%, and annual dividend yield of 0.0%. Based on the average value from 10,000 simulated trials the aggregate fair value of the Conversion Options on September 5, 2022 was calculated as EUR 1,483 (CAD 1,935).

The aggregate fair value of the Host Debt and Conversion Options exceeds the transaction price of EUR 8,770. Therefore, under the provisions of IFRS 9, the embedded derivatives (being the Conversion Options) were fair valued first and the Host Debt was allocated the residual balance. The warrants component of the Convertible Debt was allocated the residual interest of EUR nil.

The Company incurred transaction costs of EUR 717 related to the issuance of the convertible debt and were allocated proportionally to the Host Debt and Conversion Options in the amount of EUR 596 and EUR 121, respectively. All costs allocated to the Conversion Options were expensed as transaction and acquisition costs under selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of (loss) and comprehensive (loss) income.

On December 31, 2022, the aggregate fair value of the Conversion Options was calculated as EUR 1,320 (CAD 1,906). Key valuation inputs and assumptions used are stock price of CAD 6.188, expected life of between 0.09 and 1.68 years, annualized volatility of between 44.73% and 56.45%, annual risk-free rate of between 4.2% and 4.6%, and annual dividend yield of 0.0%.

On September 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of the Conversion Options was calculated as EUR 869 (CAD 1,237). Key valuation inputs and assumptions used are closing stock price on September 30, 2023 of CAD 6.570, 5-day VWAP of CAD 6.409, expected life of between 0.04 and 0.88 years, annual risk-free rate of between 5.4% and 5.6%, and annual dividend yield of 0.0%.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, an accretion expense of EUR 443 and EUR 1,122, respectively, was recognised in net interest expense and other financing charges (three and nine months ended September 30, 2022: EUR 133) in respect of the Host Debt component. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, a loss of EUR 82 and EUR 261 on remeasurement of derivative liability (three and nine months ended September 30, 2022: EUR 101) was recognised in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, nil and 617,357 shares, respectively, were issued upon exercise of convertible debt (three and nine months ended September 30, 2022: EUR nil) (Note 6). The Company also elected to settle USD 2,500 of the debt in cash upon delivery of a cash in-lieu of shares conversion notice for a total of USD 2,575. These transactions represented USD 4,500 of the total face value of USD 10,000 convertible debt as at September 30, 2023.

Immediately prior to any conversion, the embedded derivative liability is remeasured at fair value through profit and loss. Key valuation inputs and assumptions used are closing stock price on dates of conversion of between CAD 4.090 and 7.190, 5-day VWAP of between CAD 4.026 and 7.343, expected life of between nil and 1.58 years, annual risk-free rate of between 4.2% and 5.8%, and annual dividend yield of 0.0%.

Warrants issued upon completion of Financing Arrangement

Upon completion of the financing arrangement (Note 5) on September 5, 2022, 979,048 warrants were issued with an exercise price of CAD 9.28 per warrant, each convertible to one common share of the Company and expiring 5 years after the issuance date. Under the acceleration provisions of the warrants agreement, if the common shares of the Company trade at or above CAD 11.60 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company has the right to issue an exercise notice to warrant holders to exercise their warrants before the end of 21 days, otherwise 50% of the warrants expire. Similarly, if the common shares of the Company trade at or above CAD 18.56 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company has the right to issue an exercise notice to warrant holders to exercise all their warrants before the end of 21 days, otherwise all the warrants expire.

Upon allocating the transaction price of the financing arrangement between its components of host debt liability, derivative liability and warrants, the combined fair value of the host debt liability and derivative liability exceeded the transaction price. Therefore, no residual fair value was allocated to the warrant component of the instrument in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity.

The following is a continuity of the Company’s goodwill:

Goodwill recognized upon acquisition of Spin Games LLC (Note 4)

6,934

As at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2023

31,662

The carrying amount of goodwill is attributed to the acquisitions of Oryx, Wild Streak and Spin. The Company completed its annual impairment tests for goodwill as at December 31, 2022 and concluded that there was no impairment.

Key Assumptions

The recoverable amount was determined based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the Board and covering a five-year period and an after-tax discount rate of 17.5% (pre-tax rate 24.1%) per annum. The cash flows beyond the five-year period have been extrapolated using a steady 3.0% per annum growth rate.

The cash flow projections used in estimating the recoverable amounts are generally consistent with results achieved historically adjusted for anticipated growth. The Company believes that any reasonably possible change in key assumptions on which the recoverable amounts were based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount.

Spin Games LLC

The Company completed the acquisition of Spin effective on June 1, 2022. The Company agreed deferred consideration payments in common shares of the Company over three years from the effective date recorded with a present value of EUR 4,003. The DLOM on June 1, 2022, was determined by applying Finnerty’s average-strike put option model (2012) with a volatility of between 71.4% and 80.9%, an annual dividend rate of 0% and time to maturity of 1-3 years.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, an accretion expense of EUR 51 and EUR 309, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2022: EUR 93 and EUR 127 respectively) was recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) and comprehensive (loss) income.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, a loss on remeasurement of deferred consideration of EUR 1,095 and EUR 387, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2022: gain on remeasurement of deferred consideration of EUR 52 and EUR 521 respectively) was recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) and comprehensive (loss) income.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

As a result of holding and issuing financial instruments, the Company is exposed to certain risks. The following is a description of those risks and how the exposures are managed.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash and cash equivalents in a cost-effective manner to fund its obligations as they come due. The Company will experience liquidity risks if it fails to maintain appropriate levels of cash and cash equivalents, is unable to access sources of funding or fails to appropriately diversify sources of funding. If any of these events were to occur, they could adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.

The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support its normal operating requirements. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through its capital management process. The Company holds sufficient cash and cash equivalents and working capital, maintained through stringent cash flow management, to ensure sufficient liquidity is maintained. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The following are the undiscounted contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities and the total contractual obligations of the Company as at September 30, 2023:

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that counterparties could default on their financial obligations to the Company including cash and cash equivalents, other assets and accounts receivable. Failure to manage credit risk could adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.

The risk related to cash and cash equivalents is reduced by policies and guidelines that require that the Company enters into transactions only with counterparties or issuers that have a minimum long term “BBB” credit rating from a recognized credit rating agency. The Company mitigates the risk of credit loss relating to accounts receivable by evaluating the creditworthiness of new customers and establishes a provision for expected credit losses. The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses as prescribed by IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all accounts receivable. The expected credit loss provision is based on the Company’s historical collections and loss experience and incorporates forward-looking factors, where appropriate.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

This Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides a review of the results of operations, financial condition and cash flow for Bragg Gaming Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Bragg” or the “Company”), on a consolidated basis, for the three and nine months (“3Q23”) ended September 30, 2023. This document should be read in conjunction with the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (the “Interim Financial Statements”).

For reporting purposes, the Company prepared the Interim Financial Statements in European Euros (“EUR”) and, unless otherwise indicated, in conformity with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial information contained in this MD&A was derived from the Interim Financial Statements. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to a specific “note” refer to the notes to the Interim Financial Statements.

This MD&A references non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) financial measures, including those under the headings “Selected Financial Information” and “Key Metrics” below. The Company believes these non-IFRS financial measures will provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of its business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating its business and making decisions.  Although management believes these financial measures are important in evaluating the Company, they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS.  Non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS.  These measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.  These non-IFRS measures and metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may nor otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures.

For purposes of this MD&A, the term “gaming license” refers collectively to all the different licenses, consents, permits, authorizations, and other regulatory approvals that are necessary to be obtained in order for the Company to lawfully conduct (or be associated with) gaming in a particular jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise stated, in preparing this MD&A the Company has considered information available to it up to November 9, 2023, the date the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved this MD&A.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A may contain forward-looking information and statements (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of the Canadian securities legislation and applicable securities laws, including financial and operational expectations and projections.

The gross profit is primarily the result of increased revenue performance in all content products categories while recording slightly lower PAM and managed services revenues.

Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from the same period in the previous year by 8.4% to EUR 13.0m (3Q22: EUR 12.0m) amounting to 57.8% of total revenue (3Q22: 57.6%).

The increase of costs is in line with the Company’s investment in its growth strategy, as the Company continues to build its foundation as a scalable and innovative vertically integrated content and technology provider in the iGaming industry.

The Company believes that such measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that it excludes in such measures.

The Company also believes that such measures provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.  However, these measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. There are a number of limitations related to the use of such non-IFRS measures as opposed to their nearest IFRS equivalents.

Exceptional costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 include EUR 1.1m relating to the termination of the employment contracts of certain key senior executives. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, exceptional costs include one-time costs of EUR 0.4m related to legal and professional fees and other non-recurring regulatory and legal matters.

Loss on remeasurement of derivative liability is due to remeasurement of the present value of the conversion options embedded in the convertible debt instrument, whilst gain on settlement of convertible debt arose from cash-in-lieu settlement of the debt. Gain/loss on remeasurement of deferred consideration is due to remeasurement of the present value of deferred share consideration in relation to the acquisition of Spin.

MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risks, including changes to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk, which includes risks related to its revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than EUR, which is both the reporting currency and primary contracting currency of the Company’s customers. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may in the future reduce the purchasing power of the Company’s customers thereby potentially negatively affecting the Company’s revenue and other operating results.

The Company has experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in its net income (loss) as a result of translation gains or losses related to revaluing certain current asset and current liability balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk with respect to its contractual obligations and financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring its forecasted and actual cash flows, and matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Within the context of the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, a judgment is a decision made by management in respect of the application of an accounting policy, a recognized or unrecognized financial statement amount and/or

note disclosure, following an analysis of relevant information that may include estimates and assumptions. Estimates and assumptions are used mainly in determining the measurement of balances recognized or disclosed in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and are based on a set of underlying data that may include management’s historical experience, knowledge of current events and conditions and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Management continually evaluates the estimates and judgments it uses.

The following are the accounting policies subject to judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty that the Company believes could have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of non-financial assets (property and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and goodwill)

-Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management is required to use judgment in determining the grouping of assets to identify their cash generating units (CGUs) for the purposes of testing property and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets for impairment. Judgment is further required to determine appropriate groupings of CGUs for the level at which goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment.

The Company has determined that Oryx Gaming, Wild Streak and Spin are a single CGU for the purposes of property and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use asset impairment testing. For the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, CGUs are grouped at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. In addition, judgment is used to determine whether a triggering event has occurred requiring an impairment test to be completed.

-Key sources of estimation

In determining the recoverable amount of a CGU or a group of CGUs, various estimates are employed. The Company determines fair value less costs to sell using such estimates as market rental rates for comparable properties, recoverable operating costs for leases with tenants, non-recoverable operating costs, discount rates, capitalization rates and terminal capitalization rates. The Company determines value in use by using estimates including projected future revenues, earnings and capital investment consistent with strategic plans presented to the Board. Discount rates are consistent with external industry information reflecting the risk associated with the specific cash flows.

Impairment of accounts receivable

In each stage of the expected credit loss (“ECL”) impairment model, impairment is determined based on the probability of default, loss given default, and expected exposures at default. The application of the ECL model requires management to apply the following significant judgments, assumptions, and estimations:

-movement of impairment measurement between the three stages of the ECL model, based on the assessment of the increase in credit risks on accounts receivables. The assessment of changes in credit risks includes qualitative and quantitative factors of the accounts, such as historical credit loss experience and external credit scores,

-thresholds for significant increase in credit risks based on changes in probability of default over the expected life of the instrument relative to initial recognition; and

-forecasts of future economic conditions.

Management Discussion & Analysis

September 30, 2023

19


Leases

-Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate lease term on a lease-by-lease basis. Management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal option or to not exercise a termination option including investments in major leaseholds and past business practice and the length of time remaining before the option is exercisable. The periods covered by renewal options are only included in the lease term if management is reasonably certain to renew. Management considers reasonably certain to be a high threshold. Changes in the economic environment or changes in the office rental industry may impact management’s assessment of lease term, and any changes in management’s estimate of lease terms may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position and consolidated statements of (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

-Key sources of estimation

In determining the carrying amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company is required to estimate the incremental borrowing rate specific to each leased asset or portfolio of leased assets if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determined. Management determines the incremental borrowing rate using a base risk-free interest rate estimated by reference to the bond yield with an adjustment that reflects the Company’s credit rating, the security, lease term and value of the underlying leased asset, and the economic environment in which the leased asset operates. The incremental borrowing rates are subject to change due to changes in the business and macroeconomic environment.

Warrants and share options

-Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management exercises judgment in determining the model used and the inputs therein to evaluate the value of share option grants and issued warrants. Management considers all facts and circumstances for each grant issuance on an individual basis.

-Key sources of estimation

In determining the fair value of warrants and share options, the Company is required to estimate the future volatility of the market value of the Company’s shares by reference to its historical volatility or comparable companies over the previous years, a risk-free interest rate estimated by reference to the Government of Canada bond yield, and a dividend yield of nil.

Long-term employee benefits obligations

-Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate fair value of severance pay upon retirement and awards for years of service that certain employees have earned in return for their service. A calculation is made for each employee taking into account the cost of severance pay upon retirement due under the contract of employment and the cost of all expected awards for years of service with the Company until retirement.

-Key sources of estimation

In determining the present value of liabilities to certain employees, the Company performs actuarial calculations in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits applying the Projected Unit Credit Method to measure obligations and costs. Various assumptions are applied including retirement age, mortality, average salary of an individual and growth in income in future years.

Convertible debt

-Judgments made in relation to accounting policies applied

Management exercises judgment in determining the appropriate fair value of each separately identifiable component in the convertible debt instrument. Embedded derivatives such as conversion and buy-back options are measured at fair value through profit and loss and remeasured at each reporting period. The host debt liability is measured at amortised cost and amortised over the life of the instrument. Residual amounts, if any, from the transaction price after deducting the fair value of derivative liabilities and host debt are allocated to warrants if issued as part of the convertible debt.

-Key sources of estimation

In determining the present value of conversion options, the Company has modelled as a series of call options with inputs including strike price, stock price weighted volume average price, annualized volatility and risk-free rate.

In respect of buy-back options, the Company has employed a Black Scholes valuation, adding an early exercise premium. Inputs and assumptions include share price, risk free rate, volatility and exercise price.

The fair value of the host debt liability is determined using a discounted cash flow method at an appropriate market participant discount rate.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

There have been no changes in the Company’s accounting policies in any of the reporting periods discussed in this MD&A.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Any system of internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Based on a review of the Company’s internal control procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe its internal controls and procedures are appropriately designed as at the date of this MD&A.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures

Management is also responsible for the design and effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that material information related to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, which is required to be disclosed by the Company in its filings or required to be submitted by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed and summarized and reported within specified time periods. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each evaluated the design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as at the date of this MD&A, and have concluded that these controls and procedures were appropriately designed.

RISK FACTORS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Certain factors, listed below, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Current and prospective investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties and other information contained in this MD&A and the corresponding financial statements.

For a detailed description of risk factors associated with the Company, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the AIF. The risks and uncertainties described herein and therein are not the only ones the Company may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of, or that the Company currently believes are not material, may also become important factors that could adversely affect the Company’s business. If any of such risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

The Company depends on a small number of significant customers for a large portion of revenue.

The business of the Company was dependent on ten customers for approximately 64.05% and 64.71% of its revenue in the three and nine months ended September, 2023 respectively. The Company's largest customer accounted for approximately 28.0% and 32.5% of the Company's revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 respectively. The Company’s accounts receivables tend to be concentrated within a small group of customers and this is expected to improve while the Company is growing its customer base in various jurisdictions.

The loss of any significant customer, a significant decrease in business from any such customer or a reduction in customer revenue due to adverse changes in the terms of contractual arrangements or other factors could harm the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Revenue from individual customers may fluctuate from time to time.

The Company currently relies on third-parties for its gaming content and has no control over the providers of its content. Our business could be adversely affected if our access to games is limited or delayed.

The control of content by our major providers means that even one entity, or a small number of entities working together, may unilaterally affect our access to games and other content. We cannot guarantee that these providers will always choose to license to us. Our business may be adversely affected if our access to games is limited or delayed because of deterioration in our relationships with one or more of these providers or if they choose not to license to us for any other reason.

Even if we are able to secure rights to gaming content from providers or creators, external groups may object and may exert pressure on third parties to discontinue licensing rights to us, hold back content from us, or increase content fees. Content providers also may attempt to take advantage of their market power to demand onerous financial terms from us. If any of these content providers were to not renew their contracts at the expiration of their current service terms, fail to meet their contractual obligations or cease operations for any reason, and if no suitable alternative providers were available, we could be unable to operate our gaming platform. Our inability to retain such third-party providers or find suitable alternate providers in a timely manner could lead to significant costs and disruptions that could reduce our revenue, harm our business reputation, and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

To the extent that we are unable to license a large amount of content or the content of certain popular games, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially harmed.

The industry within which the Company operates are intensely competitive, characterized by low barriers to entry, and are subject to changing technology, shifting user needs, and frequent introductions of new offerings.

The Company's current and potential competitors include large and established companies as well as other start-up companies. Certain competitors have more established relationships and greater financial resources and they can use their resources against the Company in a variety of competitive ways, including by making acquisitions, investing aggressively in research and development and advertising. Emerging start-ups may be able to innovate and provide offerings faster than the Company can. As a result of developments in digital and internet gaming, the cost of entry to the gaming market has decreased significantly. This has resulted in a highly competitive environment. Digital and internet gaming have emerged as substantial methods of competition from existing competitors and, increasingly, new competitors as a result of the lower cost of entry. The increased competition may result in increased pricing pressures on a number of the Company’s products and services. If competitors are more successful than the Company in developing compelling offerings or navigating regulatory hurdles, the Company's revenue and growth rates could be negatively affected. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or grow its position in the marketplace.

The integrity, reliability and operational performance of the Company's content aggregation, parsing and distribution and other operational information technology systems are critical to the Company's ability to serve its businesses.

The Company's information technology systems may be damaged or interrupted by increases in usage, human error, unauthorized access, natural hazards or disasters or similarly disruptive events. Any failure of these Information technology systems or the telecommunications and/or other third party infrastructure on which such systems rely could lead to significant costs and disruptions that could reduce the Company's revenue, harm the Company's business reputation and have a material adverse effect on the Company's prospects, business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company incurs significant costs to maintain, transfer and receive personal data across jurisdictions.

The Company has procedures and measures in place to protect against network or Information technology system failure or disruption. However, those procedures and measures may not be effective to ensure that the Company is able to carry on its business in the ordinary course if they fail or are disrupted. In addition, the Company's Information technology systems may not be effective in detecting any intrusion or other security breaches, or safeguarding against sabotage, hackers, denial of service attacks, viruses or cybercrime. Any failure in these protections could harm the Company's business reputation and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

With regard to transfers to the United States of personal data (as such term is defined under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation 679/2016 (the "GDPR")) from the Company’s European and United Kingdom employees, customers, users and other persons, the Company has relied until recently upon the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield, and the Company currently attempts to rely upon European Union standard contractual clauses in certain circumstances. Both the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield and European Union standard contractual clauses have been subject to legal challenge, resulting in the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield being invalidated, in July 2020, by the Court of Justice of the European Union (the "CJEU"). The United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission have initiated discussions to evaluate the potential for an enhanced EU – U.S. Privacy Shield framework that would comply with the CJEU decision; however, such an enhancement may not be created, or any such enhancement could be subject to further challenge before the European courts. While the validity of the European Union standard contractual clauses was confirmed by the CJEU, the use of the standard clauses with respect to data transfers to countries outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the United Kingdom, including the United States, may be subject to further challenge. On 4 June 2021, the European Commission issued revised European Union standard contractual clauses which intend to address the decision of the CJEU and recommendations made by the European Data Protection Board. Parties currently relying, or wishing to rely, upon European Union standard contractual clauses therefore face operational and administrative challenges to implement these revised clauses, and/or any equivalent clauses issued by the relevant competent authority in the United Kingdom.  Due to the unsettled nature of data export from the EEA and the United Kingdom to the United States (and other third countries), the Company may experience reluctance or refusal by current or prospective European customers to use the Company’s products, and the Company may find it necessary or desirable to make further

changes to its handling of personal data of EEA residents, including arrangements to store and process such data outside the United States. The regulatory environment applicable to the handling of EEA or United Kingdom residents' personal data, and our actions taken in response, may cause the Company to assume additional liabilities or incur additional costs, and could result in the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition being harmed. Additionally, should the Company continue to transfer the personal data of EEA or United Kingdom residents to the United States or other country outside of the EEA or the United Kingdom without a solution that complies with the GDPR and other applicable data privacy laws, the Company and its customers may face a risk of enforcement actions by data protection authorities in the EEA or the United Kingdom relating to personal data transfers to the Company and by the Company from the EEA or the United Kingdom. Any such enforcement actions could result in substantial fines, costs, legal orders to stop transfers and diversion of resources, distract management and technical personnel and negatively affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company may require the registration of its users or end users prior to accessing its offerings or certain features of its offerings and it may be subject to increased legislation and regulations on the collection, storage, retention, transmission and use of user-data that is collected.

The Company's efforts to protect the personal information of its users may be unsuccessful due to the actions of third parties, software bugs or technical malfunctions, employee error or malfeasance, or other factors. In addition, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or users to disclose information in order to gain access to the Company's data or its user's data. If any of these events occur, users' information could be accessed or disclosed improperly. Any incidents involving the unauthorized access to or improper use of the information of users or incidents involving violation of the Company's terms of service or policies, could damage the Company's reputation and the Company's brands and diminish its competitive position. In addition, the affected users or governmental authorities could initiate legal or regulatory action against the Company in connection with such incidents, which could cause the Company to incur significant expense and liability or result in orders or consent decrees forcing the Company to modify its business practices and remediate the effects of any such incidents of unauthorized access or use. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's prospects, business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company transmits and stores a large volume of data in the course of supporting its offerings. The interpretation of privacy and data protection laws and their application to the Internet is unclear and subject to rapid change in numerous jurisdictions. There is a risk that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is not consistent with the Company's data protection practices and results in additional compliance or changes in the Company's business practices, or both, and liability or sanction under these laws. In addition, because its offerings are accessible in many jurisdictions, certain foreign jurisdictions may claim that the Company is required to comply with local laws, even where the Company has no local operating entity, employees, infrastructure or other physical presence in those jurisdictions.

The Company may require additional capital in order to carry out its business objectives.

The Company may require additional equity or debt financing in order to carry out its business objectives and to execute on its strategy. There can be no assurance that debt or equity financing orcash generated by operations would be available or sufficient to meet these requirements or for other corporate purposes or, if debt or equity financing is available, that it would be on terms acceptable to the Company. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of development or production on any or all of the Company's offerings which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The Company’s growth prospects depend on the legal status of real-money gaming in various jurisdictions.

The Company’s growth prospects depend on the legal status of real-money gaming in various jurisdictions, and predominantly within the United States, which is an initial area of focus, and legalization may not occur in as many states as the Company expects, or may occur at a slower pace than the Company anticipates. Additionally, even if jurisdictions legalize real-money gaming, this may be accompanied by legislative or regulatory restrictions and/or taxes that make it impracticable or less attractive to operate in those

jurisdictions, or the process of implementing regulations or securing the necessary licenses to operate in a particular jurisdiction may take longer than the Company anticipates, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s future results of operations and make it more difficult to meet its expectations for financial performance.

Several United States. states have legalized, or are currently considering legalizing, real-money gaming, and the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations are significantly dependent upon legalization of real-money gaming. The Company’s business plan is partially based upon the legalization of real-money gaming for a specific percent of the population on a yearly basis and the legalization may not occur as the Company has anticipated. Additionally, if a large number of additional states or the United States federal government enact real-money gaming legislation and the Company is unable to obtain or its key customers are unable to obtain, or are otherwise delayed in obtaining, the necessary licenses to operate iGaming, online casino suites, sportsbook and insurance-based lottery betting websites in United States jurisdictions where such games are legalized, the Company’s future growth in iGaming, online casino suites, sportsbook and insurance-based lottery betting could be materially impaired.

As the Company enters into new jurisdictions, governments in those jurisdictions may legalize real-money gaming in a manner that is unfavourable to the Company. Further, authorities overseeing businesses and jurisdictions in which the Company already operates might pass legislation or construe existing law in an unfavourable matter. As a result, the Company may encounter legal, regulatory and political challenges that are difficult or impossible to foresee and which could result in an unforeseen adverse impact on planned revenues or costs associated with operations in existing jurisdictions or opportunities in new jurisdictions.

Additionally, certain states require the Company to have a relationship with a land-based, licensed casino for online sportsbook access, which tends to increase the Company’s costs of revenue. States that have established state-run monopolies may limit opportunities for private sector participants like the Company. States also impose substantial tax rates on iGaming, online casino suites, sportsbook and insurance-based lottery betting wagering revenue, in addition to sales taxes in certain jurisdictions and a federal excise tax of 25 basis points on the amount of each wager. As most state product taxes apply to various measures of modified gross profit, tax rates, whether federal- or state-based, that are higher than the Company expects, will make it more costly and less desirable for the Company to launch in a given jurisdiction. Additionally, tax increases in any of the Company’s existing jurisdictions may adversely impact the Company’s profitability.  

Even in cases in which a jurisdiction purports to license and regulate iGaming, online casino suites, sportsbook and insurance-based lottery betting, the licensing and regulatory regimes can vary considerably in terms of their business-friendliness and at times may be intended to provide incumbent operators with advantages over new licensees.

The Company expects to be subject to a variety of United States. and foreign laws and regulations, many of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject the Company to claims or otherwise harm its business.

As the Company seeks to expand in the United States. and foreign markets, the Company expects to be subject to a variety of United States and foreign laws and regulations, many of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject the Company to claims or otherwise harm its business. Any change in existing regulations or their interpretation, or the regulatory climate applicable to the Company’s products and services, or changes in tax laws and regulations or the interpretation thereof related to the Company’s products and services, could adversely impact the Company’s ability to operate its business as currently conducted or as the Company seeks to operate in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

While the Canadian courts have yet to clarify the scope of certain aspects of the exemption provided by section 207(1)(h) of the Criminal Code for offshore gaming services provided from Canada, and a risk exists that the Canadian authorities may commence enforcement proceedings against the Company for its activities, the Company is not aware of such proceedings against B2B solutions providers operating in Canada who solely export their products to lawful jurisdictions. Although the Company believes it is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations, there is a risk that certain activities of the Company could be found to be in contravention of any such law or regulation in Canada and the penalties for any such contravention are unknown. Additionally, changes in applicable

laws or regulations or evolving interpretations of existing law could, in certain circumstances, result in increased compliance costs or capital expenditures, which could affect the Company’s profitability, or impede the Company’s ability to carry on its business which could affect its revenues. Violations of the Criminal Code or any other regulation, whether foreign or domestic, could negatively affect the reputation of the Company and the ability of the Company to obtain required regulatory licenses and registrations in Canada and elsewhere, and cause financial harm to the Company.

The Company is generally subject to laws and regulations relating to online gaming, online casino suites, sportsbook and insurance-based lottery betting in the jurisdictions in which the Company or the Company’s customers conduct their businesses or in some circumstances, of those jurisdictions in which their services are offered or available, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all online businesses, such as those related to privacy and personal information, tax and consumer protection. These laws and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may have a material impact on the Company’s operations and financial results. In particular, some jurisdictions have introduced regulations attempting to restrict or prohibit online gaming, while others have taken the position that online gaming should be licensed or otherwise permitted and regulated and have adopted, or are in the process of considering, legislation and regulations to enable that to happen. Additionally, some jurisdictions in which the Company may operate could presently be unregulated or partially regulated, and therefore more susceptible to the enactment or change of laws and regulations.

Certain of the Company's customers may, from time to time, provide gaming services to players in unregulated markets.

Certain of the Company's customers may, from time to time, provide gaming services to players in unregulated markets. This activity by any of the Company's customers does not necessarily amount to an infringement of laws or regulation in a given jurisdiction, but it is not uncommon for customers to cease providing interactive gaming services in an unregulated market in response to changes or intimated changes to laws or regulation. If a customer is found to have infringed laws or regulations in an unregulated jurisdiction this could materially adversely affect the Company's operations, financial performance and prospects.

The Company cannot be certain that its customers will not provide interactive gaming services to end-users in markets which prohibit interactive gambling. The Company may be considered by a regulatory body in such a restricted jurisdiction as infringing the laws or regulations of that jurisdiction on the basis that the Company is aiding the infringement by providing products or services to that customer. If a customer is found to be operating in a prohibited market, this could materially adversely affect the Company's operations, financial performance, reputation and prospects, as well as jeopardize any one or all of the Licenses and Registrations by virtue of the Company's association with, or provision of products or services to, such customer.

The Company operates in regulated jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that regulations will be consistent in different jurisdictions that the Company operates.

Some countries from which the online gambling industry has historically derived revenue have introduced regulations attempting to restrict and/or prohibit online gaming and gambling, while other jurisdictions have taken the position that online gaming and gambling should be regulated and have adopted or are in the process of considering legislation to enable that regulation. The introduction of new gambling regulations or changes to the nature and scope of existing gaming and gambling regulations (and applicable laws and regulations more generally) in the territories in which the Company’s customers operates or may operate or from where the Company derives or may derive revenue could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

While certain European countries such as Malta and Gibraltar have adopted "point-of-supply" regimes which generally permit their licensees to accept wagers from any jurisdiction that does not expressly prohibit the supply of online gambling from outside such jurisdiction, other countries, including the United Kingdom, Spain and Denmark have implemented, or are in the process of implementing, "point-of-consumption" regimes which only permit the targeting of the domestic market, provided the appropriate local license is obtained and local taxes accounted for (regardless of where the operator's assets, infrastructure and employees may

be located). Such licensing regimes can apply onerous compliance requirements and/or introduce product restrictions or marketing restrictions that could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations (and correspondingly on its financial performance).

Operators within the online gambling industry, including the Company, traditionally have based their own risk rationales on a remoteness of supply, adopting a "country of origin" / point-of-supply approach that justifies supplying gambling services into a jurisdiction unless there was something within the laws of that jurisdiction that explicitly outlawed such provision, and explicitly applied to such inward supply emanating from outside its borders.

Many jurisdictions have historically been unable to prevent inward remote supply due to a lack of extra-territorial enforceability of their laws. As a result, many jurisdictions have sought to regulate online gambling while a small number of other jurisdictions have sought to expand their existing legislation to explicitly prohibit such inward supply. Some jurisdictions include wording in their legislation which explicitly purports to apply extra territorially, thereby challenging the point-of-supply approach.

Certain European territories continue to maintain licensing regimes that protect monopoly providers and, in certain jurisdictions, have combined this with an attempt to prohibit or otherwise restrict all other supplies into the territory.

Future legislative initiatives and court decisions may have a material impact on the Company's operations and financial results. There is a risk that governmental authorities may view the Company as having violated their local gaming regulations and laws if the Company fails to comply with local rules and requirements, including those relating to the licenses it holds. There is also a risk that civil and criminal proceedings, including class actions brought by or on behalf of prosecutors or public entities, incumbent monopoly providers, or private individuals, could be initiated against the Company and its internet service providers, credit card processors, advertisers and others involved in the online gaming and gambling industry. Such potential proceedings could involve substantial litigation expense, penalties, fines, seizure of assets, injunctions or other restrictions being imposed on the Company or its business partners, and may divert the attention of key executives of the Company. Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects as well as its reputation.

There can be no assurance that prohibitive legislation will not be proposed and passed in jurisdictions relevant or potentially relevant to the Company's business to regulate various aspects of the internet or the online gaming and gambling industry (or that existing laws in those jurisdictions will not be interpreted negatively). Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, either as a result of determining that a jurisdiction should be blocked, or because a local license may be costly to obtain and/or such licenses may contain other commercially undesirable conditions.

In addition, certain countries in which laws currently prohibit or restrict online gaming or the marketing of those services, or protect monopoly providers of gaming or gambling services, may implement changes to open their markets through the adoption of competitive licensing and regulatory frameworks. While these changes may provide growth opportunities for the Company, a new licensing and regulatory regime adopted in any such country may not grant a license to the Company or may impose onerous conditions such as a requirement to locate significant technical infrastructure within the relevant territory or establish and maintain real-time data interfaces with the regulator, together with enforcement sanctions for breach thereof, taxation liabilities that make the market unattractive to the Company, or impose restrictions that limit its ability to offer certain of its key products or to market its products in the way it would wish to do so. There is also an associated cost with creating specific bespoke, localized platforms.

If regulation is liberalized or clarified in some jurisdictions, then the Company may face increased competition from other providers. The opening of new markets, and the clarification of restrictions surrounding online gaming and gambling in other markets where the legal position is currently unclear, may encourage new entrants to the online gaming sector or strengthen the position of competing operators. A significant increase in competition may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, revenues, operating results and financial condition.

Legislative interpretation may result in criminality of activities in jurisdictions where the Company supplies operation gaming software.

The Company generates the majority of its income through licensing the Company's technology and games to enable gaming operators to provide gaming services to customers where such services are dependent on that software and the functionality it provides. One of the consequences of the Company's supply of operational gaming software to customers is the potential regulatory risk associated with doing so. While in many jurisdictions laws and regulations may not specifically apply to gaming software licensors (as distinct from its customers' delivery to end customers), this is not universally the case and, indeed, some jurisdictions have sought to regulate or prohibit such supply explicitly.

Furthermore, the Company relies on the continuity of supply by the Company's customers to their end-users using the gaming related software and technology which the Company licenses. Laws and regulations relating to the supply of gaming services are complex, inconsistent and evolving and the Company may be subject to such laws either directly through explicit service provision or indirectly insofar as it has assisted the supply to customers who are themselves subject to such laws.

Operators within the remote gaming industry have sought, in the past, to justify their activities by asserting that if remote gaming is permitted from the country of origin (i.e., from the point of supply) then the laws in the country of receipt would have to specifically outlaw the activity of the customer (remotely accessing interactive gaming services) or an entity in that jurisdiction or have the authority to implement laws that impacted outside the jurisdiction in order to render the activity illegal, or entitle the country of receipt to assert jurisdiction. Operators have sought to reduce any associated risks of jurisdictions forming a contrary view by limiting or omitting to have physical presence in such jurisdictions where any connected activities are not clearly legal. Several jurisdictions consider this rationale to be unjustified. Indeed in some jurisdictions, laws have been passed to expressly criminalize the provision of (and sometimes the participation in) gaming, irrespective of where the operator is located and licensed. There is a corresponding, continuing risk to any participant in the gaming industry (be they an operator, supplier or other service provider) that jurisdictions in which customers are located may seek to argue that such a participant was acting illegally in accepting or assisting in the acceptance of wagers from its citizens or in the manner in which it operates gaming networks. This could lead to actions being brought against customers which, in turn, could have a detrimental effect on the financial performance and the Company's reputation. Similarly, where supply by the Company to the customer is critical to the gaming transaction, one cannot rule out the risk that direct enforcement action will be taken against the Company or any of the Company's employees and directors.

Many jurisdictions have not updated their laws to address the supply of remote gaming, which by its nature is a multi-jurisdictional activity. Moreover, the legality of interactive gaming and the provision of software, services and gaming network management is subject to uncertainties arising from differing approaches by legislatures, regulators and enforcement agents including in relation to determining in which jurisdiction the gaming takes place and therefore which law applies. This uncertainty creates a risk for the Company that even in instances where older laws have not been updated to address new technology, courts may interpret older legislation in an unfavorable way and determine customers' and/or the Company's activities to be illegal. This could lead to actions being brought against customers and/or the Company or any of the Company's employees and directors, all or any of which may, individually or collectively, have a detrimental effect on the Company's financial performance and the Company's reputation.

The Company seeks to keep abreast of legal and regulatory developments affecting the gaming industry as a whole. However, the Company does not necessarily monitor, on a continuous basis, the laws and regulations in every jurisdiction where the Company's customers derive business and, correspondingly, from where the Company may derive revenue. The Company adapts its regulatory policy and, therefore, the scope of the Company's ongoing monitoring on the basis that an individual market's materiality to both any relevant customer and to the Company may change. As such, the Company may receive revenue from customers' dealing in jurisdictions where the Company may be unaware of the full extent of enforcement risk.

Despite the monitoring undertaken by the Company and the precautions the Company takes as to the location of employees or assets, there remains a prospect that, in the event of legislation being interpreted in an unfavorable or unanticipated way, such measures are not sufficient and result in actions being brought against the Company or the Company's employees and directors, all of which would

have a detrimental effect on financial performance and the Company's reputation. Furthermore, similar actions could be brought against customers with the consequence that revenue streams from such customers may be frozen or traced at the behest of authorities even if none of the Company's entities are made a party to any legal proceedings against any such customer. Customers may also face problems in legitimately moving monies in and out of certain jurisdictions which will impact upon payments from customers. Finally, there is also a risk that the Company's directors or employees or individuals engaged by the Company (or directors, employees or individuals connected to any customer) may face extradition, arrest and/or detention in (or from) such territories even if they are only temporarily present.

Chief Executive Officer Commentary

“Bragg’s initiatives to position the business as a leading content-driven iGaming B2B provider as well as our disciplined expense management combined to drive third quarter revenue, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a quarterly Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.9%,” said Matevž Mazij, Chief Executive Officer for Bragg. “Third quarter year over year revenue rose 8% to €22.6 million (USD $24.0 million), gross profit increased 13.5% to €11.9 million (USD $12.6 million) and Adjusted EBITDA increased more than 70% to €3.8 million (USD $4.0 million). These results reflect, in part, a revenue mix shift to higher-margin products including in-house created proprietary content, exclusive third-party content, and turn-key Player Account Management (“PAM”) and managed services partnerships, alongside our ongoing cost control actions.

“The global availability of our proprietary and exclusive third-party content is accelerating, particularly with a growing number of Tier 1 operators, and we expect our global market penetration for these games to accelerate further in the fourth quarter and throughout 2024. During the quarter we launched 12 new proprietary and


exclusive third-party games in the largest four regulated online casino markets in the United States and we expect to continue to release games at this cadence or higher over the next 12 months. We are also expanding our presence in Europe where we have introduced 15 proprietary and exclusive third-party games during the third quarter, including with several new customers in the region. We continue to have the leading PAM in the Netherlands which is live with operators that we estimate account for approximately 30% of the gross gaming revenue generated in the market. As we continue to introduce more higher-margin proprietary and exclusive third-party games to more new partners at a faster pace, we expect to generate further top-line, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA growth as well as higher operating margins.”  

Mr. Mazij concluded, “Our strategic initiatives have helped position Bragg as a must-have content supplier for leading global iGaming operators, further building our foundation from which we can deliver consistent profitable growth. We are confident we have the right strategies, balance sheet and infrastructure in place to further our business momentum as we continue to successfully execute on our strategies that are generating cash flow growth and creating new value for our shareholders.”

Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future and allowing readers to get a better understanding of the Company’s anticipated financial position, results of operations, and operating environment. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or describes a “goal”, or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

All forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the statements were made. Actual results or events may differ from those predicted in these forward-


looking statements. All of the Company’s forward-looking statements are qualified by the assumptions that are stated or inherent in such forward-looking statements, including the assumptions listed below. Although the Company believes that these assumptions are reasonable, this list is not exhaustive of factors that may affect any of the forward-looking statements. The key assumptions that have been made in connection with the forward-looking statements include the following: the regulatory regime governing the business of the Company;  the operations of the Company; the products and services of the Company; the Company’s customers; the growth of Company’s business, the meeting minimum listing requirements of the stock exchanges on which the Company's shares trade, which may not be achieved or realized within the time frames stated or at all; the integration of technology; and the anticipated size and/or revenue associated with the gaming market globally.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: risks related to the Company’s business and financial position; that the Company may not be able to accurately predict its rate of growth and profitability; risks associated with general economic conditions; adverse industry events; future legislative and regulatory developments; the inability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; the inability to access sufficient capital on favorable terms; realization of growth estimates, income tax and regulatory matters; the ability of the Company to implement its business strategies; competition; economic and financial conditions, including volatility in interest and exchange rates, commodity and equity prices; changes in customer demand; disruptions to our technology network including computer systems and software; natural events such as severe weather, fires, floods and earthquakes; and risks related to health pandemics and the outbreak of communicable diseases. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Statements in this news release make reference to “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is a non-IFRS (as defined herein) financial measure that the Company believes is appropriate to provide meaningful comparison with, and to enhance an overall understanding of, the Company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. The Company believes that “Adjusted EBITDA” will provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of its business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating its business and making decisions. “Adjusted EBITDA” is a financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). As there is no standardized method of calculating “Adjusted EBITDA”, it may not be directly comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company considers “Adjusted EBITDA” to be a relevant indicator for measuring trends in performance and its ability to generate funds to service its debt and to meet its future working capital and capital expenditure requirements. “Adjusted EBITDA” is not a generally accepted earnings measure and should not be considered in isolation or as an


alternative to net income (loss), cash flows or other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Although management believes these financial measures are important in evaluating the Company, they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. These measures may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. These non-IFRS measures and metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may nor otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures.
