Sharplink Gaming Now Authorized to Provide Sports Betting Conversion and Marketing Services to Industry Operators in 21 U.S. States and Ontario, Canada

Audience Reach Climbs to 98% of Total Legal Online Sports Betting Markets

MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESSWIRE / October 26, 2022 / SharpLink Gaming Ltd. (NASDAQ:SBET) ("SharpLink" or the "Company"), a pioneer of targeted, data-driven user engagement and conversion solutions for the U.S. sports betting and iGaming industries, today announced that the Company's state regulatory initiatives have resulted in SharpLink being licensed and/or authorized to operate in 21 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada. In association with its regulatory compliance efforts, the Company has also formed direct affiliate marketing partnerships with virtually every major sportsbook legally operating in the U.S., including BetMGM, DraftKings, Caesars, Fan Duel, Bet365, Tipico, Unibet and WynnBet, among others.

Rob Phythian, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SharpLink stated, "Pursuing authorization to legally operate in states that have approved online sports betting has been paramount to our Company achieving our ultimate aim of becoming the preferred gamification, conversion technology and online marketing partner to sports media operators, teams, leagues and sportsbooks in the United States and Canada. We believe that the achievement of this major milestone, earlier than initially anticipated, has the potential to accelerate our long-term growth strategy."

Based on results published by Legal Sports Report for the month of August, 2022 - the last month providing a near full accounting of handles reported by states which have legalized online sports betting, SharpLink is now cleared to reach approximately 98% of the total legal sports betting market in North America through its sports betting conversion technologies and affiliate marketing relationships. Gaming Today, which also tracks monthly U.S. sports betting revenue, reported that for the month of August, 2022, in every state that has mobile sports betting, mobile betting was the preferred choice over its brick and mortar counterpart. In most markets, more than 70% of sports betting was done online; and for markets where mobile is heavily favored, like New York and New Jersey, over 90% of betting was conducted online.

Phythian added, "Our previously announced acquisition of SportsHub, which is subject to the approval of our shareholders, will give SharpLink access to a large and loyal base of fantasy sports fans and a thriving ecosystem of cash players. Based on studies that confirm fantasy sports fans who reside in legal states are also becoming enthusiastic online sports bettors, we believe there is an opportunity for SharpLink to seamlessly integrate compelling sportsbook offers within all aspects of the user experience, thus driving potentially greater growth for our Company in the future."
