| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 31, 2022, Elys Game Technology Corp. (the
“Company”) entered into a Master Technology Development and License Agreement (the “Development and License Agreement”)
with Lottomatica S.p.A. (“Lottomatica”) under which it licenses the Company’s Elys Gameboard sports betting platform
to Lottomatica and agrees to develop for Lottomatica a customized sports betting platform based on the Elys Gameboard (the “Product”).
The Development and License Agreement is non-exclusive and world-wide and provides for the payment of a royalty to the Company based on
a percentage of the sportsbook net gaming revenue processed through the Product. The Development and License Agreement provides Lottomatica
an option upon payment of a fee exercisable either on a change of control or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
or at any time after a certain date, to convert the license granted therein into a fully paid, perpetual, royalty-free license. The Development
and License Agreement is terminable for material breach, if a defaulting party voluntarily or involuntarily suspends or discontinues its
business, liquidates or sells its assets or a substantial part thereof, and if a defaulting party engages in conduct that is illegal,
irregular or contrary to the principles of fairness and good faith.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Development
and License Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions

before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
