**Prior to May 2023, the Brands owned by EBET operated in Germany under a MGA license granted to EBET’s gaming platform operator services provider Aspire Global plc (“Aspire”). Aspire received a letter on April 25, 2023 stating that Aspire would be required to shut down its gaming operations in Germany effective as of 10 days from receipt of said letter until such time as Aspire was otherwise granted a license to operate in Germany. Aspire’s request for an extension of the shutdown deadline or any form of relief was denied, so in order to meet the requirement, Aspire shut down its activities in Germany on May 7, 2023 and as a result the gaming websites owned by EBET that operate in Germany were shut down on that date. 

The Brands Connect with a Valuable and Engaged Customer

The customer database contains approximately 925,000 players who have made at least one deposit.

Approx. average monthly active users in CY 2023: 18,400***

Approx. average first-time deposit in CY 2023: €127

Pursuant to the terms of various gaming platform agreements, there are limitations on EBET’s ability to manage the customer experience and engage with the customer to provide customized offerings tailored to the particular customer needs.  A buyer has the opportunity to engage with the customer in a more meaningful way. Contact Hilco Streambank to discuss provider agreements and alternatives thereto.
