Added paragraphs (39)
Current report
We have incurred significant losses and require additional capital; substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Current report
We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flows and have previously reduced operations due to liquidity constraints. We expect to continue to incur expenses as we rebuild infrastructure, personnel, compliance systems and operations and pursue growth initiatives, including acquisitions and commercialization of digital assets. Our financial statements include a going concern explanatory paragraph. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to raise additional capital, execute our strategy and generate sustainable revenues. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.
Current report
If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or generate sufficient cash flow, we may be required to delay, scale back or discontinue operations, restructure obligations, sell assets, or seek protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.
Current report
Our strategic repositioning from a lottery-focused business to a diversified sports, entertainment and gaming media platform involves substantial execution risk.
Current report
We are repositioning SEGG Media Corporation as a diversified sports, entertainment and gaming platform, including through the development and monetization of premium digital assets and the acquisition of media and gaming-adjacent businesses. This transformation requires successful execution across multiple disciplines, including traffic acquisition, product development, content operations, advertising and sponsorship monetization, technology infrastructure and regulatory compliance. We have limited operating history in certain of these verticals. If we fail to execute this strategy, our growth prospects, financial performance and valuation may be materially adversely affected.
Current report
Our acquisition strategy exposes us to integration, valuation and impairment risk.
Current report
We may pursue acquisitions as a core component of our growth strategy. Acquisitions involve significant risks, including overpayment, inaccurate valuation assumptions, integration challenges, diversion of management attention, loss of key personnel, undisclosed liabilities, regulatory approval risks, and failure to achieve anticipated synergies. Acquisitions may require significant cash, debt or equity financing and may be dilutive. If acquired businesses or assets fail to perform as expected, we may be required to record impairment charges relating to goodwill or intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Current report
Our business depends significantly on premium domain assets and digital traffic, and our ability to monetize such assets is uncertain.
Current report
Our strategy includes commercialization of premium digital assets, including domain names and related brands. The value of such assets depends on traffic, consumer behavior, search engine rankings, brand recognition, intellectual property protection and successful monetization (including advertising, sponsorship, subscriptions, licensing or commerce). Search engine algorithm changes, increased competition, changes in platform policies, reputational issues, or failure to convert traffic into revenue could materially reduce the value of these assets and could require impairment charges.
Current report
Our forecasts, projections and internal plans are subject to significant uncertainty and may differ materially from actual results.
Current report
Any forecasts, targets or projections we provide (including in investor presentations or otherwise) are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, including assumptions regarding future legislation, regulatory developments, market adoption, consumer demand and competitive conditions. Our actual revenues, expenses, market share and profitability may differ materially from any projections. We may invest in the development or marketing of products, services or distribution channels that do not achieve commercial success, in which case we may not recover those investments and our operating results could be adversely affected.
Current report
We operate in highly regulated industries, and changes in law or regulation could restrict our operations and increase compliance costs.
Current report
Our operations are subject to federal, state and foreign laws and regulations governing, among other things, lottery and gaming activities, promotional programs, digital advertising, consumer protection, data privacy and payment processing. These regulatory regimes are complex and evolving. Changes in laws, regulations, interpretations or enforcement priorities could restrict or prohibit aspects of our business model, require additional approvals or licensure, increase compliance costs, result in fines or penalties, or require cessation of operations in certain jurisdictions.
Current report
Adverse interpretations of federal statutes and related enforcement priorities could materially impair our business.
Current report
Federal statutes affecting gaming and related activities, including interpretations of the Wire Act and other federal laws, have been subject to evolving interpretations and enforcement priorities. Although certain appellate decisions have limited the scope of the Wire Act to sports wagering, no definitive ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court exists. An adverse reinterpretation, enforcement action, or related regulatory development could materially restrict aspects of our operations and negatively affect our business and financial condition.
Current report
We are involved in, and may become involved in, litigation, investigations or other legacy matters that may be costly and could adversely affect our liquidity and operations.
Current report
We have been subject to, and may continue to be subject to, litigation, regulatory inquiries, investigations and other proceedings, including matters relating to historical events, financial reporting, financing arrangements and related disputes. These matters are inherently uncertain and may result in substantial defense costs, settlements, judgments, penalties, injunctive relief, management distraction and reputational harm. Any adverse outcomes could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
We have identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting; our remediation efforts may not be successful.
Current report
We have disclosed material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Although we have implemented and will continue implementing additional remediation measures, we may be unable to remediate these weaknesses in a timely manner or at all. Failure to remediate could result in inaccurate financial reporting, additional restatements, inability to timely file required reports, increased audit and compliance costs, regulatory scrutiny, loss of investor confidence and a decline in our stock price.
Current report
The requirements of being a public company strain our limited resources, and our compliance costs may be higher than expected.
Current report
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, compliance and other costs and are subject to reporting, internal controls and corporate governance requirements under the Exchange Act, Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank, SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards. Compliance can be costly and time-consuming and may divert management attention. Our costs may increase further as we cease to qualify as an “emerging growth company,” including with respect to internal control requirements, audit fees and financial reporting complexity. If we fail to meet these obligations, we could face regulatory action, investor litigation, loss of investor confidence and declines in the trading price of our securities.
Current report
The trading price of our securities may be highly volatile due to many factors, including our operating performance, liquidity, financing activity, regulatory developments, litigation, acquisitions and integration results, macroeconomic conditions and market dynamics affecting micro-cap issuers. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the trading price of our securities regardless of our actual performance. In addition, securities class action litigation is often brought against companies following periods of stock price volatility or decline, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention.
Current report
Our securities may be subject to short squeezes and other market dislocations, which could result in extreme volatility and losses for investors.
Current report
Our securities may experience periods of extreme volatility due to short interest and the potential for short squeezes, as well as speculative trading activity, options and derivatives activity, margin availability and social-media-driven market dynamics. A short squeeze can occur when investors with short positions are forced to purchase shares to cover their positions, which may cause the stock price to rise rapidly. Such price increases may be temporary and may be followed by rapid declines. Investors who purchase securities during such periods may incur substantial losses. We do not control these market dynamics and may be unable to respond effectively to mitigate volatility.
Current report
Our ability to fund operations depends in part on third-party financing sources that may not be available when needed.
Current report
We may rely on third-party financing arrangements as a source of liquidity. Certain lenders may have discretion regarding future advances and may not provide funding when requested or at all. If we are unable to obtain funding under existing arrangements or from other sources on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay or abandon initiatives to restart or expand operations and could be forced to materially curtail operations.
Current report
Our debt agreements contain covenants that may restrict operations and financing flexibility.
Current report
Our financing arrangements include covenants, representations, warranties and events of default that may restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, grant liens, amend organizational documents, declare or pay dividends, repurchase shares, or issue securities in certain circumstances. These restrictions could limit our operational flexibility, impair our ability to raise additional capital and increase the risk of default. If an event of default occurs and is not cured, lenders may have remedies that could include accelerating amounts due and enforcing security interests, which could materially adversely affect our business and could render an investment in our securities worthless.
Current report
Our obligations may be secured by substantially all of our assets; enforcement could materially harm the Company.
Current report
Certain obligations may be secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our assets. If we default, secured parties may be able to foreclose on collateral, restrict cash flows and force sales of assets, any of which could materially impair our ability to operate.
Current report
Conversions and warrant exercises could cause substantial dilution and depress our stock price.
Current report
Certain financing arrangements include conversion features and warrants that, if exercised or converted, would result in the issuance of a significant number of shares of our common stock. Such issuances would dilute existing stockholders and could depress the market price of our common stock.
Current report
If conversion prices are based on discounts to market prices and holders sell shares into the market, the trading price may decline, which could result in additional shares being issuable upon further conversions, potentially creating a downward-spiral effect. These dynamics could materially impair the market price of our common stock and increase volatility. Any resale of shares issued upon conversion or exercise, including by selling stockholders, could further increase selling pressure and adversely affect the trading price.
Current report
We may not have sufficient funds to repay indebtedness, and our indebtedness increases financial risk.
Current report
We have indebtedness and other obligations that we may not have sufficient funds to repay when due. Indebtedness increases the risk of default, limits financial flexibility and may require us to devote cash to debt service rather than operations and growth. If we are unable to repay or refinance amounts due, we may be required to raise capital on unfavorable terms, sell assets, restructure obligations, or curtail operations.
Current report
We will likely require additional financing, which may be highly dilutive and may adversely affect our stock price.
Current report
We expect to seek additional capital through equity, equity-linked securities or debt financings. Such financings may be unavailable on acceptable terms, may be senior to existing equity, may include warrants or conversion features, and may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Financing terms common for micro-cap issuers may include discounts to market price, variable pricing, resets or other features that can increase the number of shares issuable as the trading price declines and can exert downward pressure on our stock price.
Current report
Market conditions, including interest rates, investor risk appetite and micro-cap volatility, may increase the cost of capital and reduce financing alternatives. Investors in this offering may experience significant dilution, and we may be required to raise capital at prices materially below the offering price.
Removed paragraphs (98)
Previous report
In July 2022, the Company furloughed the majority of its U.S. employees and suspended U.S. lottery game sales operations after determining that it did not have sufficient financial resources to fund these operations or pay certain existing obligations, including U.S. payroll and related obligations. As a result, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern in the U.S.
Previous report
In July 2022, the Company furloughed the majority of our employees and ceased its operations after determining that it did not have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations or pay certain existing obligations, including payroll and related obligations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company owed approximately $3.94 million in outstanding U.S. payroll obligations, which amount remains unpaid. Since our U. S. business is largely dependent on the efforts and talents of our employees and contractors, particularly those who are our developers and engineers, and the provision of ongoing services to customers by our employees and contractors, the loss of these employees and contractors has and may continue to result in the inability of the Company to operate its business and technology, meet its obligations to customers, maintain key customer relationships and revenue, and fulfill its contractual obligations.
Previous report
In order for the Company to fully restart its U. S. operations, it must raise sufficient capital to re-hire or hire additional employees. Qualified employees may not be available for hire, or may require salaries or benefits in excess of what we paid persons in similar positions previously, due to among other things, inflation and other economic factors, the need to hire such persons away from their current jobs and the negative impact that the furlough has had on our reputation.
Previous report
If we are not able to restart our operations, hire new employees and engage new contractors, and obtain funding sufficient to support and restart our operations, we may be forced to permanently cease our operations, sell off our assets and operations, or seek bankruptcy protection or a corporate reorganization, which could cause the value of our securities to become worthless, or at best, become devalued in the marketplace
Previous report
These conditions, along with our current lack of material revenue producing activities, and significant debt, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern during the next 12 months. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included herein also include a going concern footnote.
Previous report
We need additional capital to, among other things, support and restart our U.S. operations, re-hire or hire employees and engage contractors and pay our expenses. Such capital may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we do not receive the additional capital, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our plans to recommence our operations and we may need to permanently cease our operations.
Previous report
We need to raise capital to, among other things, support and restart our U.S. operations, re-hire or hire employees, engage contractors and pay our expenses. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us will be through future borrowings under one or more loan agreements or through the sale of equity or debt. We may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our stockholders. For example, the terms of any future financings, similar to the UCIL Loan Agreement, may impose restrictions on the manner in which we conduct our business, including our ability to pay dividends. Additionally, lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions or significant asset sales. Obtaining additional financing involves certain risks, including:
Previous report
If funds advanced under our current loan agreements are inadequate to meet our needs, or we are unable to raise additional funds, we may not be able to raise enough capital to recommence our operations and operate our business. Consequently, we may be forced to curtail or even abandon our plan to recommence our operations and we may need to permanently cease our operations.
Previous report
Further, the operating relationship between the Company and some of its partners, such as the minority owners of Aganar and JuegaLotto, may be negatively impacted by the Company’s lack of liquidity. If these relationships were to become strained or be terminated entirely, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, including our ability to raise new capital, cash flows and results of operations.
Previous report
Competition in the sports media market could impair our ability to generate revenue from Sports.com
Previous report
The landscape of the sports content industry is changing as traditional media companies are putting on a focus on developing original sports content. In recent years, Apple, Netflix, Warner Brothers Discovery, and Amazon have produced original sports content and entered into agreements to broadcast live sporting events. Their entry into the market could limit our ability to acquire streaming rights for live sports events. Costs to produce original content may increase to the point where we cannot compete in the sector.
Previous report
Consumer trends in paying for streaming content may have an adverse impact on the Sports.com subscription service.
Previous report
The global video streaming market is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate of 17.8% over the next eight years, reaching a value of $2.4 trillion by 2032. With more than 200 global streaming services, consumers are presented with a wide array of choices where to spend their discretionary entertainment dollars. Since 2022, 25% of streaming subscribers have cancelled three or more services. Additionally, 21% of subscribers indicated they intended to cancel at least one additional service in 2024. This trend may negatively impact our ability to attract new customers or may increase the costs of both customer acquisition and retention.
Previous report
Prior to the U.S. 2022 Operational Cessation, Internet search engines drove traffic to our U.S. B2C Platform and our user growth could decline and our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected if we fail to appear prominently in search results when we recommence U.S. operations.
Previous report
Our success depends in part on our ability to attract users through unpaid Internet search results on search engines like Google and Yahoo!. The number of users we attract to our B2C Platform from search engines is due, in large part, to how and where our website ranks in unpaid search results. These rankings can be affected by a number of factors, many of which are not under our direct control and may change frequently. For example, a search engine may change its ranking algorithms, methodologies, or design layouts. As a result, links to our web-based properties may not be prominent enough to drive traffic, and we may not know how or otherwise be in a position to influence the results. In some instances, search engine companies may change these rankings in a way that promotes their own competing products or services or the products or services of one or more of our competitors. Search engines may also adopt a more aggressive auction-pricing system for keywords that would cause us to incur higher advertising costs or reduce our market visibility to prospective players. Our websites have experienced fluctuations in search result rankings in the past, and we anticipate similar fluctuations in the future. Any reduction in the number of users directed to our B2C Platform could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the value of our securities to decline or become worthless.
Previous report
Additionally, the reputational impact of our Board and management changes, the Operational Cessation and the events contributing thereto have not been quantified. It may require significant investment to restore the value in our brand, and the value of our brand may never return to prior levels or may be permanently reduced as a result of previous events.
Previous report
Any failure to offer high-quality user support may harm our relationships with users and could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Previous report
Our ability to attract and retain qualified support personnel is dependent in part on the ease and reliability of our offerings, including our ability to provide high-quality support. Users on our Platform have and will continue to depend on our support organization to resolve any issues relating to our offerings, such as technical questions around how to use our app and web-based properties or information regarding our Data Services. Our ability to provide effective and timely support when operations resume will be largely dependent on our ability to attract and retain service providers who are qualified to support users and sufficiently knowledgeable regarding our offerings. As we restart our business and reintroduce and improve our offerings, we will face challenges related to providing quality support services at scale. As users in new domestic and international jurisdictions acquire our services, our support organization will face additional challenges, including those associated with delivering support in languages other than English. The complex employment market and low unemployment rates may impact the availability of service providers and as a result, our ability to provide effective and timely support and an increase in response time. Any failure to provide efficient user support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality support, could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations and could cause the value of our securities to decline or become worthless.
Previous report
Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in the Internet and mobile device accessibility of users.
Previous report
Our business depends on users’ access to our offerings via a mobile device or personal computer and the Internet. We may operate in jurisdictions that provide limited data or Internet connectivity, particularly as we expand into foreign markets. Internet access and access to a mobile device or personal computer are frequently provided by companies with significant market power that could take actions that degrade, disrupt, or increase the cost of consumers’ ability to access our offerings. In addition, the Internet infrastructure that we and our users rely on in any particular geographic area may be unable to support the demands placed upon it and could interfere with the speed and availability of our offerings. Any such failure in Internet or mobile device or computer accessibility, even for a short period of time, could adversely affect our results of business, financial condition, and results of operations and could cause the value of our securities to decline or become worthless.
Previous report
We operate in a rapidly evolving industry and if we fail to successfully develop, market, or sell new products or adopt new technology platforms, it could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Previous report
Our Platform and other software products are in a market characterized by rapid technological advances, evolving standards in software and hardware technology, and frequent new product introductions and enhancements that may render existing products, services, and systems obsolete. Competitors are continuously upgrading their product offerings with new features, functions, and content. In addition, we may be required to refine our software and technology platform to address regulatory changes in the markets in which we operate or plan to operate. In order to become competitive, we may need to periodically modify and enhance our technology platform and service offerings.
Previous report
We cannot assure you that we will be able to respond to rapid technological or regulatory changes in our industry. In addition, the introduction of new products or updated versions of existing products and the underlying technology that supports such products has inherent risks, including, but not limited to, risks concerning:
Previous report
Developing, enhancing and localizing software is expensive, and the investment in product development may involve a long payback cycle. However, we believe that we must dedicate a significant number of resources to our developmental efforts to maintain our competitive position. However, funding for such development efforts may not be available on favorable terms if at all, and we may not receive significant revenue from these investments for several years, if at all. In addition, as we or our competitors introduce new or enhanced offerings, the demand for our offerings, may decline.
Previous report
We may not timely and effectively scale and adapt our technology and network infrastructure to ensure that our Platform is accessible, which would adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.
Previous report
Once we fully resume operations, we expect to make significant investments to improve the availability of our Platform and to enable rapid releases of new features and services, funding permitting. However, it may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve the availability of our Platform, especially during peak usage times and as our Platform becomes more complex and if our user and customer traffic increase. If our Platform is unavailable when users and customers attempt to access it or it does not respond as quickly as they expect or it experiences capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of users or customers accessing our Platform simultaneously, users or customers may seek other offerings and may not return to our Platform as often in the future, or at all. This would adversely affect our ability to attract users and customers and decrease the frequency with which they use our Platform. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed, or develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.
Previous report
Our Platform may be vulnerable to risks, both foreseen and unforeseen, arising from our application of distributed ledger technology.
Previous report
Prior to the U.S. 2022 Operational Cessation, our Platform utilized distributed ledger technology by preserving a cryptographic ledger of the user identification, draw identification, ticket identification, and game numbers into an immutable ledger. The distributed ledger was append-only and kept a complete record of all changes to the provided data that could not be deleted, modified, or overwritten. Distributed ledger technology is a relatively new, evolving technology. Accordingly, the further development and future viability of this technology is generally undetermined with practical and ideological challenges which may affect its further development or integration into our Platform.
Previous report
A jurisdiction may enact, amend, or reinterpret laws and regulations governing our operations in ways that impair our revenues, cause us to incur additional legal and compliance costs and other operating expenses, or are otherwise not favorable to our existing operations or planned growth, all of which may have a material adverse effect on us or our results of operations, cash flow, or financial condition.
Previous report
State and federal laws in the U.S. govern and, in some cases, limit our business practices. For example, the Interstate Wagering Amendment to 18 U.S.C. § 1301 (the “Interstate Wagering Amendment”) limits our ability to purchase lottery games for a user located in one state from a lottery authority located in another state, except under certain limited circumstances, such as where the lottery authorities in the respective states allow the sales. Therefore, for our users located within the U.S., we only purchase lottery games for users geolocated to be physically situated within the U.S. state or jurisdiction where the lottery game they are purchasing is being conducted, unless an exception were to be authorized by the applicable lottery authorities.
Previous report
In addition, our business is subject to extensive regulation by multiple domestic and foreign governmental authorities and the laws and regulations governing companies conducting sweepstakes and lottery related operations on the Internet and over mobile networks and purchasing of lottery tickets on behalf of others. Such laws and regulations within U.S. and international jurisdictions are subject to change and the effect of such changes on our ongoing and potential operations cannot be predicted with certainty. Governmental authorities continually evaluate a wide range of issues that impact the mobile and online lottery and gaming industries. As a result, a jurisdiction may enact, amend, or reinterpret laws and regulations governing our operations in ways that impair our revenues, cause us to incur additional legal and compliance costs and other operating expenses, or are otherwise not favorable to our existing operations or planned growth, all of which may have a material adverse effect on us or our results of operations, cash flow, or financial condition.
Previous report
There have been several proposed state and federal bills to prohibit or restrict interactive or online lottery sales, some of which have been successful. For example, in 2015, the Minnesota legislature passed an amendment to the state’s lottery law prohibiting the sale of scratch lottery tickets over the Internet. In certain jurisdictions, the sale of lottery tickets through couriers is expressly unlawful. Laws restricting the sale of lottery tickets via the Internet, through mobile networks or by courier, or that otherwise materially impact our operations, including those relating to sweepstakes, may be proposed or passed in the future at either the federal or state level or by foreign governments. Any proposal or passage of such laws may reduce our revenues or require us to expend a significant amount of our funds and resources and incur additional legal and other expenses, thereby creating a material adverse effect on us or our results of operations, cash flow, or financial condition.
Previous report
Changes in the executive branches of government in the U.S. as well as in foreign countries, may affect policies on lotteries and mobile gaming. For example, variations in the interpretation of The Federal Wire Act of 1961 (the “Wire Act”) by the Office of Legal Counsel (the “OLC”) of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) have had a material impact on the online gaming and lottery industry within the U.S. For more information, see “If there is a final determination on the applicability of the Wire Act to our operations and it is determined or codified that the Wire Act extends to transmission of lottery games in interstate or foreign commerce, certain of our operations that are not currently restricted by statute or practice to a state’s territorial boundaries may be negatively impacted or eliminated, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.” We have and may from time to time in the future retain government affairs specialists in domestic and international jurisdictions to advise elected and appointed officials regarding our perspectives on legislation and regulations related to lottery and other aspects of our business, to monitor such legislation and regulations, and to otherwise provide us with advice regarding our relations with such officials. Such efforts, however, may not be successful in whole or in part and changes in such laws or policies could have a material adverse effect on us or our results of operations, cash flow, or financial condition.
Previous report
We cannot ensure that our activities or the activities of those third parties with whom we do business will not become the subject of regulatory or law enforcement proceedings. Further, lottery regulatory associations, including the Multi-State Lottery Association (the “MUSL”), and certain lottery entities both domestically and internationally exercise significant authority regarding the means and manner in which the lottery and its products are marketed and sold as well as the equipment, technology and services deployed by retailers and resellers of such lottery products. Our activities or the activities of those third parties with whom we do business may become the subject of further inquiries, investigations or enforcement proceedings by such authorities or entities. Any such proceeding by regulatory or law enforcement or associations or entities may have a material adverse effect on us or our results of operations, cash flow, or financial condition.
Previous report
If there is a final determination on the applicability of the Wire Act to our operations and it is determined or codified that the Wire Act extends to transmission of lottery games in interstate or foreign commerce, certain of our operations that are not currently restricted by statute or practice to a state’s territorial boundaries may be negatively impacted or eliminated, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.
Previous report
The Wire Act of 1961 provides that anyone engaged in the business of betting or wagering that knowingly uses a wire communication facility for the transmission in interstate or foreign commerce of bets or wagers or information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers on any sporting event or contest, or for the transmission of a wire communication that entitles the recipient to receive money or credit as a result of such bets or wagers, or for information assisting in the placing of such bets or wagers, may be fined or imprisoned, or both. However, the Wire Act provides that it shall not be construed to prevent the transmission in interstate or foreign commerce of information for use in news reporting of sporting events or contests, or for the transmission of information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers on a sporting event or contest from a state or foreign country where betting on that sporting event or contest is legal.
Previous report
Until 2011, there was uncertainty as to whether the Wire Act prohibited the conduct of intrastate lottery transactions via the Internet by U.S. states if such transactions crossed state lines. Essentially, there was a debate with regard to whether all of the prohibitions in the Wire Act applied only to bets or wagers on a “sporting event or contest” as used in the Wire Act, or all bets or wagers. In late 2011, the OLC issued an opinion that concluded the conduct prohibited by the Wire Act was limited to sports gambling (the “2011 DOJ Opinion”). Following the issuance of the 2011 DOJ Opinion, six state lotteries offered internet sales of scratch lottery games to in-state customers, and several other states allowed subscription sales of draw games via the Internet. Notably, in 2017, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania authorized the Pennsylvania Lottery to distribute lottery products, including scratch ticket games, through numerous channels that included web applications, mobile applications, and social media.
Previous report
In January 2019, the OLC issued the 2019 Opinion, which concluded that the restrictions in the Wire Act on the transmission in interstate or foreign commerce of bets and wagers was not limited to sports gambling but applied to all bets and wagers, including those involving state lotteries. Multiple lawsuits were filed challenging the validity of the 2019 Opinion.
Previous report
On June 3, 2019, the federal district court in New Hampshire determined that the Wire Act applies exclusively to sports gambling and set aside the 2019 Opinion. The New Hampshire federal district court declined, however, to issue a nationwide injunction in the case. On August 16, 2019, the DOJ appealed the New Hampshire federal district court’s decision to the First Circuit.
Previous report
On January 20, 2021, the First Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision, determining that the Wire Act applies only to interstate wire communications related to sporting events or contests. Finding that the declaratory judgment was an adequate remedy at law, the First Circuit declined to set aside the 2019 Opinion under the Administrative Procedure Act. In addition to the First Circuit’s decision, the Fifth Circuit has previously held the Wire Act prohibitions apply only to sports gambling.

Risks Relating to Prior Management, Our Internal Controls and Related Matters
Previous wording
The aforementioned issues have had and could continue to have material adverse impacts on the Company. The Company and certain of our former officers are the subject of a number of legal proceedings, investigations and inquiries with respect to cited issues and have been named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. The Company incurred significant costs in connection with its internal investigations, including legal expenses and costs associated with the restatement and adjustments to its financial statements. We may also incur material costs associated with our indemnification arrangements with our current and former directors and certain of our officers, as well as other indemnitees. Moreover, an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters could result in significant damages, additional penalties or other remedies imposed against the Company, or the Company’s former directors or officers, which could harm our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters could exceed coverage provided, if any, under potentially applicable insurance policies, which is limited. For example, we currently do not have an effective director and officer liability insurance policy in place for our current officers and directors and may not have the financial resources or otherwise be able to obtain a director and officer liability insurance at reasonable cost or terms in the future. These issues have also led to material adverse impacts on our operations, our reputation and our relationships with business partners, as well as material adverse impacts on our financial position, including incurred costs and expenses and our ability to raise new capital in the future.
Current wording
The aforementioned issues have had and could continue to have material adverse impacts on the Company. The Company and certain of our former officers are the subject of a number of legal proceedings, investigations and inquiries with respect to cited issues and have been named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. The Company incurred significant costs in connection with its internal investigations, including legal expenses and costs associated with the restatement and adjustments to its financial statements. We may also incur material costs associated with our indemnification arrangements with our current and former directors and certain of our officers, as well as other indemnitees.

These investigations and inquiries and any other similar or related future legal proceedings, investigations or inquiries are subject to inherent uncertainties, and the actual costs to be incurred relating to these matters depend upon many unknown factors. We are unable to predict the outcome of any of these legal proceedings, investigations, and inquiries, and we could be forced to expend significant resources in the defense of one or more of these actions. There is also the risk that we may not prevail in any proceeding involving us. Cooperating with, as well as monitoring and defending against, any of these actions is time-consuming for management and detracts from their ability to fully focus our internal resources pertaining to our business operations. In addition, we have already incurred and may continue to incur substantial legal fees and costs as well as internal administrative time, in connection with such matters. We are also generally obligated, to the extent permitted by law, when applicable, to indemnify our current and former directors and officers who may be named in these or similar actions; moreover, we do not currently have an effective director and officer liability insurance policy in place for our current officers and directors. We are not currently able to estimate the possible cost to us from these matters, as we cannot be certain how long they may take to resolve or the possible amount of any civil penalties or damages, if any, that we may be required to pay. It is possible that we could, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims for monetary damages. Decisions adverse to our interests in these actions could result in damages, fines, penalties, consent orders or other sanctions against the Company or our officers, or in changes to our business practices, among others, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, results of operations and financial position.

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. Such material weaknesses have not been fully remediated as of December 31, 2024. As defined in the standards established by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

There may be an increasing risk of a recession or inflationary economic impacts due to international trade and monetary policy, variations in interest rates and inflation, and acts or threats of acts of war, along with other economic challenges. If the national and international economic recovery slows or stalls, these economies experience another recession, or any of the relevant regional or local economies suffers a downturn, or if inflationary effects accelerate, we may experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our business is particularly sensitive to reductions from time to time in discretionary consumer spending. Demand for entertainment and leisure activities, including lottery play, can be affected by changes in the economy and consumer tastes, both of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control. Unfavorable changes in general economic conditions, including recessions, economic slowdowns, sustained high levels of unemployment, and rising prices and inflation, or the perception by consumers of weak or weakening economic conditions, may reduce our users’ disposable income or result in fewer individuals engaging in entertainment and leisure activities, such as purchasing lottery games through remote channels. Several factors relating to this economic downturn, including reductions in discretionary income due to changes in employment conditions, as well as customer preferences regarding discretionary spending habits, have caused and will likely continue to cause a reduction in consumer spending. As a result, fewer individuals may engage in gaming and lottery activities. The effect of a decrease in consumer spending on entertainment and leisure activities due to unfavorable market conditions could reduce the Company’s cash flows and revenues and therefore have a material and adverse impact on our results of operations. As a result, we cannot ensure that demand for our offerings will remain constant or achieve our anticipated growth.

Our ability to achieve growth in revenue in the future will depend, in large part, upon our ability to attract new players to our offerings, retain existing users of our offerings, and reactivate users in a cost-effective manner. Achieving growth in our community of users may require us to increasingly engage in sophisticated and costly sales and marketing efforts, which may not make sense in terms of return on investment. We have used and expect to continue to use a variety of free and paid marketing channels, in combination with the promotional activity of in-state and multi-state issued lottery games, to achieve our objectives. For paid marketing, we intend to leverage a broad array of advertising channels, which may include a combination of radio and social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), affiliate marketing, paid and organic search engines, and other digital channels, such as mobile display. If the search engines on which we rely modify their algorithms, change their terms around gaming and lottery, or if the prices at which we may purchase listings increase, then our costs could increase, and fewer users may click through to our websites or download our application. If links to our websites or application are not displayed prominently in online search results, if fewer users click through to our websites or application, if our other digital marketing campaigns are not effective, or if the costs of attracting users via any of our current methods significantly increase, then our ability to efficiently attract new users could be reduced, our revenue could decline, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed and could cause the value of our securities to decline or become worthless.

Although lottery games are offered on a year-round basis, there is seasonality in lottery game purchasing that may impact our operations and operations of our customers. The broad geographical mix of our user and customer base also impacts the effect of seasonality, as users and customers in different territories typically place differing importance on different lottery games and those games often have different calendars. For example, some multi-state games can have occasional increasingly high jackpot opportunities, which increase user attention and ticket purchases, which further increases the jackpot. Such events may cause increases in our revenues. By contrast, low jackpot lottery games or periods in which there is little promotional activity connected to lottery games in general may negatively impact the purchase of lottery games. Such fluctuations and uncertainties may negatively impact our cash flows.

Promoting awareness of our Platform is important to our ability to grow our business and to attract new users and customers in the future, which can be costly. We believe that much of the growth in the number of users of our U.S.-based B2C Platform prior to the 2022 Operational Cessation was attributable to our paid marketing initiatives. Our future marketing efforts may include a combination of bonus offerings, affiliate marketing programs, social media engagement, radio, video, podcasts, search engine optimization, and keyword search campaigns. Our marketing initiatives may become increasingly expensive and generating a meaningful return on these initiatives may become difficult. Even if we successfully increase revenue as a result of these marketing efforts, it may not offset the additional marketing expenses we incur. If our marketing efforts intended to help grow our business are not effective, we expect that our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.

The industry in which we operate is subject to rapid and frequent changes in standards, technologies, products, and service offerings, as well as in consumer demands and expectations and regulations. We must continuously make decisions regarding which offerings and technology we should invest in to meet user and consumer demand in compliance with evolving industry standards and regulatory requirements, and to grow we must continually introduce and successfully market new and innovative technologies, offerings, and enhancements to remain competitive and effectively stimulate user and customer demand, acceptance, and engagement. Our ability to engage, retain, and increase our user and customer base and to increase our revenue will depend heavily on our ability to successfully create new offerings, both independently and together with third parties. We may introduce significant changes to our existing technology and offerings or develop and introduce new and unproven products, services, and systems, any of which we may have little or no prior development or operating experience. The process of developing new offerings and systems is inherently complex and uncertain, and new offerings may not be well received by users, even if well-reviewed and of high quality.

As a result, we may not succeed in hiring and retaining the executives and other key employees that we need.

In an effort to avoid post-judgment discovery, Streicher indicated a willingness to pay the judgment over time with interest and is attempting to negotiate a settlement and forbearance agreement with the Company. Streicher’s original deadline to produce documents and respond to the post-judgment discovery was January 16, 2023, and the Deposition was scheduled to take place on January 19, 2023. On January 20, 2023, faced with post-judgment discovery and depositions, Streicher remitted a partial payment towards the Judgment in the amount of $75,000. On February 13, 2023, Streicher made another payment towards the Judgment in the amount of $50,000 and agreed to make another payment in the amount of $75,000 on February 28, 2023. Streicher failed to remit the payment on February 28, 2023, and as a result, the Company is proceeding with the post-judgment discovery and depositions, which was scheduled for March 16, 2023, however Streicher did not appear at such hearing. The Company intends to fully collect on the Judgment and intends to pursue all legal and equitable means to enforce the Judgment against Streicher until the Judgment is fully satisfied.

Previous wording
We currently do not have effective director and officer liability insurance and may not have the financial resources or otherwise be able to obtain director and officer liability insurance at reasonable cost or terms in the future. In the event of a substantial loss, the insurance coverage we carry may not be sufficient to pay the full market value or replacement cost of our lost investment or could result in certain losses being totally uninsured. Market forces beyond our control may limit the scope of the insurance coverage we can obtain in the future or our ability to obtain coverage at reasonable rates. Certain catastrophic losses may be uninsurable or too expensive to justify obtaining insurance. As a result, if we suffer such a catastrophic loss, we may not be successful in obtaining future insurance without increases in cost or decreases in coverage levels.
