Entertainment, Inc. ("Inspired" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: INSE)
today announced the Company's Virtual Sports will be the first
Virtuals product authorized in Turkey on behalf of the Turkish National
Lottery. Inspired signed a contract with Sisal Sans, a
Turkish joint venture between Sisal SPA and Şans Digital ve
Interaktif Hizmetler Teknoloji Yatirim A.S., to provide its V-Play
Plug & Play™ solution, a complete end-to-end online
virtual sportsbook product. Inspired's award-winning Virtual

In 2019, Italy's Sisal Group,
in partnership with Şans Digital ve Interaktif Hizmetler
Teknoloji Yatirim A.S., an affiliate of Turkey conglomerate Demirören
Holding, won the bidding process called by Turkey's Sovereign Wealth Fund, the license
holder of the Turkish National Lottery (Milli
Piyango) for a ten-year operational contract.
"We have worked with Sisal for many years in Italy, supplying our video lottery terminals,
Virtuals and mobile products. We are thrilled to partner with
their Turkish joint venture, Sisal Sans, to offer our Virtuals
products in Turkey," said
Brooks Pierce, President and Chief
Operating Officer of Inspired. "Our Virtuals have proven popular in
the U.K., Italy and Greece and we see Turkey as an opportunity to showcase our new
Plug & Play™ solution and the strength of our overall Virtuals
offerings."
"We have been tasked with maximizing revenue of the Turkish
National Lottery to benefit the Turkish public and we believe our
positive performance will be based on innovation," said
Selim Ergun, CEO of Sisal
Sans. "Inspired's Virtual Sports speak to that innovation,
offering fast-paced action, ultra-realistic player simulations and
a tremendous breadth of bet types, and we are excited to be the
first certified website to offer Virtuals in Turkey. We are
looking forward to working with the Inspired team to bring a
continual stream of betting content to our customer base,
especially given the limited live sports now available."
