−Removed: 2011, there was uncertainty as to whether the Wire Act prohibited the conduct of intrastate lottery transactions via the Internet by
−Removed: states if such transactions crossed state lines.
−Removed: Essentially, there was a debate with regard to whether all of the prohibitions
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: In late 2011, the OLC issued an opinion that concluded the conduct prohibited by the Wire Act was limited to sports gambling (the “2011
−Removed: DOJ Opinion”).
−Removed: Following the issuance of the 2011 DOJ Opinion, six state lotteries offered internet sales of scratch lottery games
−Removed: to in-state customers, and several other states allowed subscription sales of draw games via the Internet.
−Removed: Notably, in 2017, the Commonwealth
−Removed: of Pennsylvania authorized the Pennsylvania Lottery to distribute lottery products, including scratch ticket games, through numerous
−Removed: channels that included web applications, mobile applications, and social media.
−Removed: January 2019, the OLC issued the 2019 Opinion, which concluded that the restrictions in the Wire Act on the transmission in interstate
−Removed: or foreign commerce of bets and wagers was not limited to sports gambling but applied to all bets and wagers, including those involving
−Removed: state lotteries.
−Removed: Multiple lawsuits were filed challenging the validity of the 2019 Opinion.
−Removed: June 3, 2019, the federal district court in New Hampshire determined that the Wire Act applies exclusively to sports gambling and set
−Removed: aside the 2019 Opinion.
−Removed: The New Hampshire federal district court declined, however, to issue a nationwide injunction in the case.
−Removed: August 16, 2019, the DOJ appealed the New Hampshire federal district court’s decision to the First Circuit.
−Removed: January 20, 2021, the First Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision, determining that the Wire Act applies only to interstate
−Removed: wire communications related to sporting events or contests.
−Removed: Finding that the declaratory judgment was an adequate remedy at law, the
−Removed: First Circuit declined to set aside the 2019 Opinion under the Administrative Procedure Act.
−Removed: In addition to the First Circuit’s
−Removed: decision, the Fifth Circuit has previously held the Wire Act prohibitions apply only to sports gambling.
−Removed: September 15, 2022, the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island entered an order siding with the First Circuit’s
−Removed: interpretation of the Wire Act and holding that “the Wire Act applies only to ‘bets or wagers on any sporting event or contest.”
−Removed: Notwithstanding
−Removed: the above, currently, there is no definitive ruling from the U.S.
−Removed: Supreme Court on the issue, and the courts in other U.S.
−Removed: Circuits might

−Removed: Because many of the Company’s operations occur outside the jurisdiction of the First Circuit and the
−Removed: Fifth Circuit, and because the First Circuit did not set aside the 2019 Opinion, we are still monitoring the potential impact of the

−Removed: Supreme Court take a different position
−Removed: on the applicability of the Wire Act to our operations, the Wire Act may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions,

−Removed: lottery games in interstate or foreign commerce, certain of our operations that are not currently restricted by statute or practice to
−Removed: a state’s territorial boundaries may be negatively impacted or eliminated.
−Removed: Further, in such event, the DOJ or other federal regulatory
−Removed: authorities may determine that the manner in which we operate our technology is deemed to be interstate or foreign commerce and accordingly
−Removed: a violation of such interpretation of the Wire Act.
−Removed: Either event could have a material adverse effect on us or our results of operations,
−Removed: cash flow, or financial condition, could force us to cease our operations (if any), seek bankruptcy protection, and could further subject
−Removed: us to litigation, fines and penalties.
−Removed: the Interstate Wagering Amendment is interpreted or applied to prohibit transmissions to foreign countries, it could have a negative
−Removed: impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
−Removed: federal laws prohibit the transportation of lottery tickets, advertisements, and paraphernalia in interstate or foreign commerce or through
−Removed: the mail, except under certain circumstances.
−Removed: Generally, such laws do not apply to state or charitable lotteries conducted in accordance
−Removed: with the laws of the state in which such lottery is operated.
−Removed: The Interstate Wagering Amendment, enacted in 1994, sought to close a “loophole”

−Removed: is defined as “a State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or any territory or possession
−Removed: of the United States.” The definition of “foreign government” on the other hand, expressly excludes U.S.
−Removed: Based on the use of the words “1 State” and “another State” and the omission of the term “foreign
−Removed: country”, we believe the Interstate Wagering Amendment does not prohibit transmission of information for the purpose of procuring
−Removed: tickets for persons in foreign countries.
−Removed: the Interstate Wagering Amendment is interpreted or applied to prohibit transmissions to foreign countries, however, it could have a
−Removed: negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and could cause the value of our securities to decline
−Removed: or become worthless.

−Removed: Because lottery tickets are typically considered bearer instruments, we can purchase
−Removed: tickets on behalf of our users and customers and charge certain service fees within the limits of the applicable laws in each U.S.
−Removed: jurisdiction.
−Removed: In most cases, with Virginia being a notable exception, the laws do not specifically prohibit users from engaging our services to purchase
−Removed: lottery tickets on their behalf.
−Removed: However, certain types of fees are prohibited in certain jurisdictions.
−Removed: For example, Pennsylvania prohibits
−Removed: “any fee associated with the acquisition or transportation of lottery tickets or shares” and Illinois law prohibits service
−Removed: charges, handling fees or other costs added to the established price of a ticket.
−Removed: In those states and other states with similar prohibitions,

−Removed: Currently, we do not have sufficient

−Removed: If the amounts
−Removed: owed under any undisputed loan agreements are not converted into common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions, we may not be able
−Removed: to pay the principal or interest on the loan, and future working capital, borrowings or equity financing may not be available to pay

+Added: Our financing arrangements include covenants, representations,
+Added: warranties and events of default that may restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, grant liens, amend organizational
+Added: documents, declare or pay dividends, repurchase shares, or issue securities in certain circumstances.
+Added: These restrictions could limit our

+Added: If an event of default occurs
+Added: and is not cured, lenders may have remedies that could include accelerating amounts due and enforcing security interests, which could
+Added: materially adversely affect our business and could render an investment in our securities worthless.
+Added: Our obligations may be secured by substantially

+Added: enforcement could materially harm the Company.
+Added: Certain obligations may be secured by a first-priority
+Added: security interest in substantially all of our assets.
+Added: If we default, secured parties may be able to foreclose on collateral, restrict
+Added: cash flows and force sales of assets, any of which could materially impair our ability to operate.
+Added: Conversions and warrant exercises could cause
+Added: substantial dilution and depress our stock price.
+Added: Certain financing arrangements include conversion
+Added: features and warrants that, if exercised or converted, would result in the issuance of a significant number of shares of our common stock.
+Added: Such issuances would dilute existing stockholders and could depress the market price of our common stock.
+Added: If conversion prices are based on discounts to
+Added: market prices and holders sell shares into the market, the trading price may decline, which could result in additional shares being issuable
+Added: upon further conversions, potentially creating a downward-spiral effect.
+Added: These dynamics could materially impair the market price of our
