The Company's wholly owned subsidiary USBookmaking is expected to provide sport wagering and bookmaking services to manage the sportsbook risk.

Entitlement is a full service neighborhood restaurant lounge situated in one of DC’s trendiest communities in the Petworth district of Washington, DC. The venue serves traditional American food and an array of beverages in an inclusive environment designed for socializing and networking.

“We are looking forward to launching our fifth sportsbook with our latest partners and management team at Entitlement Restaurant and Cigar Lounge in the Petworth district of Washington, DC. and to further expanding our sportsbook footprint within restaurants and bars in DC and neighboring states over the coming months,” commented Michele Ciavarella, Elys Executive Chairman. “We believe that adding sports wagering within an exciting environment where patrons can enjoy their favorite food and beverages could bring an entirely new vibe to the establishment and could drive ancillary revenue and foster employment opportunities for small businesses. Partnering with Entitlement provides further affirmation of the scalability and flexibility of the Elys retail sportsbook solution and is a key driver in our pathway to profitability and development of long-term shareholder value in Elys Game Technology.
