Overview
and Recent Developments
We
were originally formed as Trident Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation on March 17, 2016, for the purpose of effecting a merger,
share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, recapitalization or other similar business combination with one or
more businesses. On October 29, 2021, we consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with AutoLotto,
Inc. (“AutoLotto”). Following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) we changed our name from
“Trident Acquisitions Corp.” to “Lottery.com Inc.” and the business of AutoLotto became our business. Unless
the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “Lottery.com”
and “Lottery.com Inc.” refer to Lottery.com Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
On July 28, 2022, the Board determined that the Company did not have sufficient
financial resources to fund its operations in the United States or pay certain existing obligations of the U.S. public company, including
its payroll and related obligations.
The following day, on July 29,
2022, the Company effectively ceased U.S. operations (the “2022 Operational Cessation”), furloughed the majority of its U.S.
employees and suspended its U.S. lottery game sales meaning the U.S. company would be devoid of future revenues until operations resumed
(subsidiary operations of Aganar and JuegaLotto and Tinbu LLC in the U.S. were unaffected and continued operations, including lottery
sales outside the U.S. and generation of revenue). As a result of the 2022 Operational Cessation, certain of the Company’s U.S.
employees were retained at the discretion of the Company’s then Chief Operating Officer and Chief Legal Officer of the Company
in order to provide the minimal business functions essential to the Company’s ongoing legal and compliance requirements as well
as to secure necessary funding to resume operations. Less than twenty percent of these non-furloughed employees remained active in the
efforts to restore Company’s U.S. operations and as of December 31, 2024, approximately $3.94 million in outstanding payroll and
$64 thousand in outstanding unpaid director compensation obligations remain unpaid.
1
Since the 2022 Operational Cessation,
the Company has had minimal day-to-day operations in the United States and has primarily focused on restarting certain of its core businesses
(as described in more detail under “ Plans for Recommencement of Company Operations ” below), and on completing and
filing its quarterly and annual reports with the SEC.
S&MI Ltd. (“SportLocker.com”)
As reported on form 8-K filed with the
SEC on August 20, 2024, on August 14, 2024, the Company finalized an agreement for the acquisition
of S&MI, Ltd. with its shareholders (the ““Share Purchase and Sale Agreement”), wherein the Purchase
Price is the total equivalent One Million Dollars USD ($1,000,000.00) in restricted stock units
of common shares in the Company. (the “Payment-In-Kind”) fixed at Three Dollars USD ($3.00) per share (the “Fixed Price”).
Purchase Price is to be paid out over five payments on the following schedule : The
first payment of $150,000 in restricted common stock (50,000

The remaining payments in restricted common stock to the shareholders of S&MI Ltd. by the Company will be made as follows: (i) a second

common shares of the Company to be issued to the shareholders of S&MI, Ltd. is lower than the Fixed Purchase Price on the six
(6) month anniversary of any issuance date of said shares (collectively the “Anniversary Issuance Price”), then the
Fixed Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward to the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock for
the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the six (6) month anniversary date of said issuance date. Accordingly,

As reported on form 8-K on December
16, 2024, as a result of the resignation of Yusufali & Associates, LLC as its independent registered public accounting firm on November
15, 2024, on December 10, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of Boladale Lawal

“disagreement” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable
event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
S-1 Registration of Common
Stock
On October 16, 2024, the
SEC declared effective the Company’s S-1, as amended and as filed on October 10, 2024 (the “S-1/A”). Under the terms and conditions of the
S-1/A, the Company may from time to time offer and sell up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(“common stock”). This prospectus also relates to the offer and resale from time to time by the selling shareholders
named herein (the “Selling Shareholders”), or their permitted transferees of shares of common stock, consisting of (i)
396,789 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of certain outstanding convertible notes which were issued pursuant to
private placements conducted in 2023 and 2024, (ii) 463,937 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement
Warrants; and (b) 5,410,128 held by certain officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The Offering will
commence promptly on the date upon which this prospectus is declared effective by the SEC and will continue for 18 months. At the
discretion of our board of directors, we may discontinue the offering before expiration of the 18-month period.
The offering
of the 50,000,000 shares is a “best efforts” offering, which means that the Company’s officers and directors will use
their best efforts to sell the common stock and there is no commitment by any person to purchase any shares. There is no minimum purchase
requirement. The shares will be offered at a fixed price of $3.00 per share for the duration of the offering. Proceeds from the sale of
the shares will be used to implement the Company’s plan of operation. Any funds that we raise from this offering will be immediately
available for the Company’s use and will not be returned to investors.
The Company
will receive proceeds from the issuance and sale of its primary offering of common stock. The Company will not receive any proceeds from
the sale of shares of common stock or warrants by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this prospectus, except with respect to amounts
received upon exercise of the warrants to the extent such warrants may be exercised.
On January
16, 2025, the Company filed a post-effective amendment to the S-1, wherein the only change was a change in the fixed price per share to
$1.00 (the “POS AM No. 1”). On February 10, 2025, the Company withdrew its POS AM No. 1, noting that the withdrawal of POS AM No. 1 did not withdraw
the original Form S-1 registration with an offering price of $3.00/share, which was made effective by the SEC on October 16, 2024.
Generating Alpha Ltd.
As reported on
form 8-K on November 29, 2024, on November 21, 2024, a fully executed Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) was

on the purchase of its stock and the Investor has agreed to purchase the Company’s shares at ninety (90%) percent of the

less than $20,000.00 and the maximum amount will equal 100% of the Average Daily Trading Volume. The Maximum Put Amount may be

the Company’s issued and outstanding shall be issued in the form of a prefunded Common Stock Purchase Warrant.

Nasdaq
Listing
The Company
currently trades on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the symbol, LTRY, and its warrants trade on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the
symbol, LTRYW. Although the Company is currently in compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, the Company has repeatedly gone
into periods of non-compliance, most frequently as a result of late quarterly or annual filings which are subsequently filed. There
can be no assurance by the Company that such periodic episodes of non-compliance will not recur, nor that the Company will be able
to sustain meeting its Nasdaq listing requirements in order to maintain its Nasdaq listings on a long-term basis.
2022 Loan Agreement with Woodford Eurasia Assets,
Ltd.
On December 7, 2022, the Company
entered into a loan agreement with Woodford Eurasia Assets, Ltd. (“Woodford”), (the “Woodford Loan Agreement”),
pursuant to which Woodford agreed to provide the Company with up to $52.5 million, subject to certain conditions and requirements. Pursuant
to such Woodford Loan Agreement the Company received $798,351 by December 31, 2024. Woodford failed to meet its obligations under the
Woodford Loan Agreement and the Company removed itself from any further obligation under Agreement or association with Woodford. Woodford
subsequently filed a complaint in the High Court of Justice in London chancery Division. October 16, 2023, The High Court of Justice in
London Chancery Division (“the Court”) dismissed an application for injunctive relief initiated by Woodford against the Company.
(Case: FL-2023-000023. Woodford Eurasia Assets Limited v Lottery.com Inc.) The Court characterized Woodford’s application as “fundamentally
misconceived” and ordered Woodford to pay the Company’s legal costs. Woodford subsequently, on the Judges’ recommendation,
withdrew the proceedings.
Woodford
filed an additional action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on November 16, 2023 in Case No. 23-1317-GBW
seeking a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and expedited discovery against Lottery.com and its directors. The Court
entered an order the next day denying the relief sought by Woodford. On February 14, 2024, Woodford filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal
Without Prejudice, which stated that Woodford provides notice of dismissal of all claims without prejudice against Defendants Lotttery.com
and its directors.
With
the dismissal of this lawsuit by Woodford, no further action is required by Lottery.com or its directors at this time. The Company is
determining its next course of action in resolving any further matters regarding Woodford.
Amounts advanced under the Woodford
Loan Agreement are convertible, at Woodford’s option, into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the “common stock”), beginning 60 days after the first loan date at the rate of 80% of the lowest publicly available price
per share of common stock within 10 business days of the date of the Loan Agreement (which was equal to $5.60 per share after the 1:20
reverse split which occurred on August 9, 2023), subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation which can be waived on 60 day’s notice
and a separate limitation preventing Woodford from holding more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company,
without the Company obtaining shareholder approval for such issuance above this amount.
Proceeds of the loans could only
be used by the Company to restart its operations and for general corporate purposes as agreed to by Woodford.
The Woodford Loan Agreement includes
confidentiality obligations, representations, warranties, covenants, and events of default, all of which are customary for a transaction
of this size and nature.
The Company also agreed to grant
Woodford common stock purchase warrants (the “Woodford Warrants”) in an amount equal to 15% of the Company’s 50,925,271
then issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the quantity of stock then issued and outstanding prior to the 1:20 reverse stock
split of August 9, 2023). Each Woodford Warrant has an exercise price equal to the average of the closing price of the Company’s
common stock for each of the ten days prior to the first amount being debited from the bank account of Woodford, which equates to an exercise
price of $5.60 per share after the 1:20 reverse split that occurred on August 9, 2023. In the event the Company fails to repay the amounts
borrowed when due or Woodford fails to convert the amount owed into shares, the exercise price of the warrants may be offset by amounts
owed to Woodford, and in such case, the exercise price of the warrants will be subject to a further 25% discount (i.e., will equal $4.20
per share).
In connection with our entry
into the Woodford Loan Agreement, the Company also entered into a Loan Agreement Deed, Debenture Deed and Securitization, with Woodford
(the “Security Agreement”), which provides Woodford with a first floating charge security interest over all present and future
assets of the Company in order to secure the repayment of amounts owed under the Woodford Loan Agreement.
On June 12, 2023, the Company
entered into an amendment of the Woodford Loan Agreement with Woodford (the “Woodford Loan Agreement Amendment”), which provides
that Woodford shall henceforth be able to convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding balance of its loan into the conversion shares
at a conversion price that represents a further 25% discount to the original conversion price of 20%. The validity and application of
the Woodford Loan Agreement Amendment is disputed by the Company.
Despite
requests from the Company, Woodford has repeatedly failed: to substantiate the amounts it claims were borrowed by the Company or claimed
to have been advanced by Woodford to the Company; failed to indicate if it would accept accelerated payment of Company-verified amounts;
failed to provide an anti-money laundering acceptable bank account to which payment could be made by the Company, to explain its failure
to respond to requests for other funding to be accepted in the context of the Woodford Loan Agreement; failed to respond to requests for
funding under the accordion facility of the Woodford Loan Agreement; and failed to respond to allegations of money laundering and conspiracy
to defraud the Company and others.
5
Loan
Agreement with United Capital Investments London Limited
On July 26, 2023, The Company
entered into a credit facility (the “UCIL Credit Facility”), represented by a loan agreement, which was amended and restated
on August 8, 2023, and subsequently amended on August 18, 2023 (as so amended, the “UCIL Loan Agreement”). The UCIL Loan Agreement
is with United Capital Investments London Limited (“UCIL”), an entity in which each of Matthew McGahan, the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board, and Barney Battles, a former member of the Board, have a direct or
indirect interest. The decision by the Company to enter into the UCIL Loan Agreement followed, amongst other things, an acknowledgment
by the Company that it had not received the requisite funding on a timely basis that it expected from Woodford, despite the Company making
several requests to Woodford for said funding under the terms and conditions of the Woodford Loan Agreement. Moreover, the Board of Directors
determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to enter into the UCIL Loan Agreement with UCIL, as an
alternative lender to Woodford, upon receiving an event of default notice on July 21, 2023 (the “Default Notice”) and an event
of default and crystallization notice on July 25, 2023 (the “Crystallization Notice”) from Woodford under the Woodford Loan
Agreement. Neither McGahan or Battles participated in the vote on the UCIL agreement to ensure proper independence and correct corporate
governance. On July 24, 2023, the Company responded to the Default Notice disputing that an event of default had occurred given the Company’s
earlier announcement that UCIL had agreed to enter into a funding arrangement with the Company. On July 27, 2023, the Company replied
to the Crystallization Notice denying that an event of default occurred or continued and further asserted that Woodford’s attempt
for crystallization was inappropriate and unlawful under the terms and conditions of the Woodford Loan Agreement. Given the uncertainty
of the continued financing under the Woodford Loan Agreement, the Board of Directors sought to secure and formalize the Company’s
alternative funding by entering into the UCIL Loan Agreement.
As
reported on form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024, on February 16, 2024, the Company and UCIL entered into an “Amendment
and Restatement Agreement No. 2” to the UCIL Loan Agreement to increase the amount of the UCIL Credit Facility from $49,000,0000
to $149,000,000 (the “UCIL Amendment”).
Placement
Agent Agreement with Univest Securities, LLC
As
reported on form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 6, 2024, on December 6, 2023, the Company entered into a placement agent agreement
(the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with Univest Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), whereby the Placement
Agent agreed to act as placement agent in connection with the Company’s offering (“Offering”) of units (“Units”)
up to $1,000,000; each Unit consisting of a convertible promissory note (each, a “Convertible Note” or collectively, the
“Convertible Notes”), and a common stock purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”, or collectively, the “Warrants”)
in order for investors placed by it to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”). Each Unit under the Offering includes specific registration rights (“Registration Rights”), for each investor
obtained through the Placement Agent.
On
February 1, 2024, the parties agreed to increase the Offering amount from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. All other terms and conditions of
the Offering remain the same. The Securities shall be offered and sold pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Operations Prior to 2022 Operational Cessation
Prior to the 2022 Operational
Cessation, the Company was primarily a provider of domestic lottery products and services (subsidiary operations in Mexico, such as Aganar
and JuegaLotto in Mexico, and TinBu in the U.S. were unaffected by the 2022 Operational Cessation and continued operations, including
lottery sales and the generation of revenue). It is the Company’s intention to become a primary provider of U.S.-centric lottery
products and services again. As an independent third-party lottery game service, with principal operations headquartered in the United
States we offered a platform that we developed and operated to enable the remote purchase of legally sanctioned lottery games in the U.S.
and abroad (our lottery “Platform”). Our revenue generating activities included (i) offering the Platform via our Lottery.com
app and our websites to users located in the U.S. and multinational jurisdictions where the sale of lottery games was legal and our services
were enabled for the remote purchase of legally approved lottery games (our “B2C Platform”); (ii) offering an internally developed,
created and operated business-to-business application programming interface (“API”) of the Platform, which enabled our commercial
partners, in permitted U.S. and international jurisdictions, to purchase certain legally operated lottery games from us which could be
resold to users located within their respective jurisdictions (“B2B API”); and (iii) delivering global lottery data, such
as winning numbers and results, and subscriptions to data sets of our proprietary, anonymized transaction data pursuant to multi-year
contracts to commercial digital subscribers (“Data Service”).
6
Mobile
Lottery Game Platform Services
Both our B2C Platform and our
B2B API provided users with the ability to purchase legally sanctioned draw lottery games via a mobile device or computer, securely maintain
their acquired lottery game, automatically redeem a winning lottery game, as applicable, and receive support, if required, for the claims
and redemption process. Our registration and user interfaces were designed to be easy to use, provide for the creation of an account
and purchase of a lottery game with minimum friction and without the creation of a mobile wallet or requirement to pre-load minimum funds
and - importantly - to provide instant confirmation of the user’s lottery game numbers, whether selected at random or picked by
the user. Users of our B2C Platform services paid a service fee and, in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, a mark-up on the purchase price.
Prior to the 2022 Operational Cessation in the U.S., we generated revenue from this service fee and mark-up. Our U.S. based B2B API Platform
resumed limited operations in April 2023. As of the date of this Report, our U.S. based B2C Platform is not currently operational. We
anticipate that it will become operational by the summer of 2025.
The
WinTogether Platform
Prior to the Operational Cessation,
we operated and administered all U.S. sweepstakes offered by WinTogether, a U.S. registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization (“WinTogether”),
which was formed in April 2020 to support charitable, educational, and scientific causes. In consideration of our operation of the WinTogether
platform and administration of their sweepstakes, we received a percentage of the gross donations to a campaign, from which we paid certain
dividends and all administration costs.
The WinTogether platform continued
operating after the U.S. 2022 Operational Cessation, until all sweepstakes campaigns were completed and all prizes awarded. On March 29,
2023, the board of directors of WinTogether voted to suspend its relationship with the Company. On December 5, 2023, the board of WinTogether
voted to reinstate the business relationship with the Company.
On April 1, 2024, Lottery.com
resumed its sweepstakes offerings through its partnership with the WinTogether .org foundation (DBA: DonateTo.Win. In April 2025, Sports.com sponsored a sweepstakes to support the Florida International University surrounding the
Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2025.
Current
Operations
Despite the 2022
Operational Cessation, certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries have continued to operate under the direction of the
leadership teams that were in place prior to the Company’s acquisition of such companies. While the operational activities of
these subsidiaries vary, from the 2022 Operational Cessation through the date of this Report, each of our subsidiaries, namely
TinBu, Aganar and JuegaLotto has decreased its expenses and has had its revenue remain consistent or decrease slightly from
pre-Operational Cessation levels.
Data
Services
In 2018, we acquired TinBu, LLC
(“TinBu”), a wholly owned subsidiary, which is a digital publisher and provider of lottery and other data results, jackpots,
results, and other data, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Through TinBu, our Data Service delivers daily results of over 800 domestic and
international lottery games from more than 40 countries, including the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom, to over 400 digital publishers
and media organizations. See “ Item 1A. Risk Factors – We are party to pending litigation and investigations in various
jurisdictions and with various plaintiffs and we may be subject to future litigation or investigations in the operation of our business.
An adverse outcome in one or more proceedings could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations ”.
(Also, see Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”, “TinBu Complaint”.)
Our
technology pulls real time primary source data, and, in some instances, we acquire data from dedicated data feeds from the lottery authorities.
Our data is constantly monitored to ensure accuracy and timely delivery. We are not required to obtain licenses or approvals from the
lottery authorities to pull this primary source data or to acquire the data from such dedicated feeds. Commercial acquirers of our Data
Service pay a subscription for access to the Data Service and, for acquisition of certain large data sets, an additional per record fee.
We
additionally had entered into multi-year contracts pursuant to which we sell proprietary, anonymized transaction data pursuant to multi-year
agreements and in accordance with our Terms of Service in consideration of a fee and in other instances provide the Data Service within
a bundle of provided services.
7
Aganar
and JuegaLotto
On
June 30, 2021, we acquired 100% of the equity of Global Gaming Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Global Gaming”),
which holds 80% of the equity of each of Medios Electronicos y de Comunicacion, S.A.P.I de C.V. (“Aganar”) and JuegaLotto,
S.A. de C.V. (“JuegaLotto”). JuegaLotto is federally licensed by the Mexican regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over
the ability to commercialize lottery games in Mexico through an authorized federal gaming portal and to commercialize games of chance
in other countries throughout Latin America. Aganar has been operating in the licensed Online Lottery market in Mexico since 2007 and
has certain rights to sell Mexican National Lottery draw games, instant win tickets, and other games of chance online with access to
a federally approved online casino and sportsbook gaming license and additionally issues a proprietary scratch lottery game in Mexico
under the brand name Capalli. See “ Item 1A. Risk Factors – We need additional capital to, among other things, support
and restart our operations, re-hire employees 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” for additional information.
Sports.com
In
December 2021, we finalized the acquisition of the domain name https://sports.com and on November 15, 2022, we formed a wholly-owned
subsidiary called Sports.com, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Sports.com”). Subsequently, Sports.com announced a partnership
with the Saudi Motorsports Company, which enabled the Company to roll out the Sports.com brand at the IFA World Cup decider at the end
of November 2022. In December 2022, Sports.com signed an agreement with Data Sports Group, GmbH (“ DSG ”), which provided
Sports.com the exclusive North American distribution rights for sports data products offered and maintained by DSG (the “DSG Data”).
The DSG Data is being sold through the same sales resources and sales channels as the lottery data offered by TinBu. On July 23, 2023,
DSG exercised its right to terminate the exclusive distribution rights due to Sports.com not meeting its contractual obligations .
Plans
for Recommencement of Company Operations
As noted above, since the 2022
Operational Cessation, the Company has had minimal day-to-day U.S. operations and has primarily focused on restarting certain of its core
businesses. The Company has developed a phased plan to recommence its operations.
Phase 1 - Resume B2C
Platform Operations. The Company believes that it will be in a position to relaunch its B2C Platform by the summer of 2025. As
of the date of this Report, the Company expects that it will initially relaunch its B2C Platform on a limited geographic basis in
both the US and Internationally for a period of time before rolling it out to multiple jurisdictions. The Company plans to limit the
rollout in order to give it additional time to properly vet and confirm compliance with local, state and federal rules related to
ticket procurement and distribution. For more information, see “ Item 1A. Risk Factors - Regulatory and Compliance Risks - 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 .” The Company has also maintained various pre-paid media credits that it expects to use to launch and
maintain promotional campaigns for both lottery and sweepstakes sales geared towards encouraging prior customers to return to the
Platform and to acquire new customers. The Company had a limited relaunch of its sweepstakes business in April 2024. Currently, the
Company is operating sweepstakes in a limited number of US jurisdictions and anticipates domestic and international operations by
the end of Q2 2025.
The Company acquired Spektrum LTD in March of 2025. This acquisition
provided the Company with ownership of platform that is designed to run in dozens of international jurisdictions. The Company is in final
phases of procuring the appropriate licensing and business services to launch in multiple African and Asian jurisdictions. The launch
date is scheduled for Q2 2025.
8
Phase
2 - Restore Other Business Lines and Projects. Assuming the success of Phase 1, the Company expects to restore other products it
previously offered, such as supplying lottery tickets to consumers in approved domestic jurisdictions, partnering with licensed providers
in international jurisdictions, monetizing Sports.com and reviving other products and services that were under development when the Operational
Cessation occurred.
As of the date of this Report,
the current estimated cash balance of the Company and subsidiaries is approximately $36,799. The Company believes that this cash
on hand, along with future borrowings, will be sufficient for the Company to resume core operations.
Our common stock and warrants
are traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbols “LTRY” and “LTRYW,”
respectively. As of the date of this Report, we are in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements (the “Listing
Rules”) Additionally, under its new management, the Company continues to work to improve its disclosure and reporting controls and plans to continue improving its systems of internal control over financial reporting and invest in additional legal, accounting,
and financial resources.
Even if the Company’s three
phase plan to restart its operations is successful, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with
Nasdaq’s applicable Listing Rules. If the Company’s securities are delisted from Nasdaq, it could be more difficult to buy
or sell the Company’s common stock and warrants or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s common stock
and warrants could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital needed
to fund its operations or trigger defaults and penalties under outstanding agreements or securities of the Company.
There can be no assurance that
we will have sufficient capital to support our operations and pay expenses, repay our debt, or that additional funds will be available
on favorable terms, if at all. Future financing options available to the Company include equity financings, debt financings or other
capital sources, including collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. Equity financings may include sales of
common stock. Such financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely
affect the holdings or rights of the Company’s stockholders and may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. There can
be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company, if
at all, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations, and it could ultimately
be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate. These matters, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time which is defined as within one year after the
date that its current financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments to reflect
the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty. For more information, see the risk factors in Item 1A of this Report under the heading “Risks Relating
to the Internal Investigation, Restatement of our Consolidated Financial Statements, Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, Our Internal
Controls and Related Matters.”
Regulation
and Compliance
We
are subject to a variety of laws in the U.S. and abroad that affect our business, including federal, state and territorial laws regarding
lotteries, gaming, sweepstakes, consumer protection, electronic marketing, data protection and privacy, competition, taxation, intellectual
property, export, and national security, all of which are continuously evolving. The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or
may be applicable to us are often evolving or new and uncertain and may conflict with each other, particularly those governing our international
operations.
9
While raising revenues for the
particular country, state, or authorizing jurisdiction, lottery and gaming laws are generally based upon declarations of public policy
designed to protect consumers from fraud and other misdeeds. To protect consumers, stringent laws and regulations have been established
per jurisdiction to ensure that participants in the industry meet certain standards which may require participants to:
●
ensure
that games are conducted fairly and honestly;
●
establish
procedures designed to prevent cheating and fraudulent practices;
●
establish
and maintain anti-money laundering practices and procedures;
●
establish
and maintain responsible accounting practices and procedures;
●
ensure
that lottery games are sold only at the price and manner established by the applicable lottery regulator;
●
report
prizes awarded and withhold certain amounts for taxes and other specified liabilities;
●
file
periodic reports with regulators;
●
establish
programs to promote responsible gaming and comply with other social responsibility practices; and
●
enforce
gaming participant minimum age requirements.
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 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 such
sales. Therefore, when such offerings are operational, for our users located within the U.S., we only purchase lottery games for users
who at the time are 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. For more information, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors
- Regulatory and Compliance Risks - If the Interstate Wagering Amendment is interpreted or applied to prohibit transmissions to foreign
jurisdictions, it could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.”
In
addition, the U.S 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 bets or wagers, or for information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers, may be fined or imprisoned, or
both. The Wire Act provides, however, 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
into a state or foreign country in which such betting is legal. In late 2011, the Office of Legal Counsel (the “OLC”) in
the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) issued an opinion that concluded the conduct prohibited by the Wire Act was limited
to sports gambling; however, in January 2019, the OLC issued a new opinion (the “2019 Opinion”) that 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. Reinterpretation of the federal Wire Act by the OLC threatened certain
online lottery sales, leading to litigation in which the First Circuit Court of Appeals (the “First Circuit”) which determined
that the Wire Act applies only to interstate wire communications related to sporting events or contests and not lottery games. Finding
that the declaratory judgment was an adequate remedy at law, however, the First Circuit declined to set aside the 2019 Opinion under
the Administrative Procedure Act. In addition to the First Circuit’s decision, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth
Circuit (the “Fifth Circuit”) has previously held the Wire Act prohibitions apply only to sports gambling. Because many of
the Company’s operations occur outside the jurisdictions of the First Circuit and Fifth Circuit, and because the First Circuit
did not set aside the 2019 Opinion, we are still monitoring the potential impact of the 2019 Opinion on our business. For more information,
see “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Regulatory and Compliance Risks - 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.”
10
Separately,
some states prohibit the use of courier services and the sale of online lottery tickets, while other states limit the charges that we
can impose and collect. When such offerings are operational, we only purchase lottery games on behalf of our users and customers where
our services are permitted and in accordance with applicable laws. Per jurisdiction, the scope and interpretation of the laws that are
or may be applicable to our services and fees are subject to interpretation and may change.
Our
compliance with federal, state, territorial and local laws is based on our interpretation of existing applicable laws regarding lottery
services such as ours. We have obtained legal advice and notified certain lottery authorities in U.S. jurisdictions where we do business
of the services that we offer, but in most cases, we have not received definitive determinations of the laws applicable to our services.
There is a risk that existing or future laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate may be interpreted in a manner that is in some
regards in conflict with our business model. Future laws that permit certain lottery services may be accompanied by restrictions or taxes
that make it impractical or less feasible to operate in certain jurisdictions. For more information, see “ Item 1A. Risk Factors
- Regulatory and Compliance Risks - 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. ”
Other
laws and regulations may be adopted or construed to apply to us that could restrict our business model, including privacy, taxation,
marketing, anti-money laundering, anti-corruption, copyright, currency exchange, export, antitrust and other laws, as well as laws governing
public companies.
The
growth of electronic commerce may prompt calls for stronger consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies
such as ours conducting business through the Internet and mobile devices. It is likely that scrutiny and regulation of our industry may
increase, and we will be required to devote additional resources to compliance with applicable regulations. While we believe that we
are currently in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements, we cannot assure that our
activities or any of our users’ activities will not become the subject of any regulatory or law enforcement investigation, proceeding,
or other governmental or regulatory action or that any such investigation, proceeding, or action, as the case may be, would not have
a materially adverse impact on us or our business, financial condition or results of operations.
For
more information, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Regulatory and Compliance Risks - Our business model and the conduct of our operations
may have to vary in each U.S. jurisdiction where we do business to address the unique features of applicable law to ensure we remain
in compliance with that jurisdiction’s laws. Our failure to adequately do so may have an adverse impact on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.”
Licensing
We
may determine or be required to secure licenses from regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over our operations in markets in which
we contemplate expansion. Such licensure may impose additional obligations on us and our operations, which may include continuous disclosure
to, and investigation by, the applicable regulatory authority into the financial stability, integrity, and business experience of the
Company, its affiliates, and their respective significant stockholders, directors, officers, and key employees. In markets in which we
have not previously operated or in newly regulated markets, licensing regimes may impose licensing requirements or conditions with which
we have not previously been required to comply, which may include locating technical infrastructure within the relevant territory, establishing
real-time data interfaces with the regulatory authority, implementing additional consumer protection and privacy measures, or additional
approvals or certifications of our technology, all of which may present operational challenges and material costs. Certain stockholders
may be required to be licensed.
11
To
the extent that any stockholder, director, officer, or key employee is required to submit to required background checks and provide disclosure,
and such individual fails to do so, or they or we do not successfully do so, this may jeopardize the grant of a license, provide grounds
for termination of an existing license, or result in the imposition of penalties. Generally, any person or entity who fails or refuses
to apply for a governmental license, finding of suitability, registration, permit, or approvals within the prescribed period after being
advised by a competent authority that they are required to do so may be denied or found unsuitable, as applicable, which may result in
our determining or being required to sever our relationship with such person or entity. Further, we may be subject to disciplinary action
or suffer revocation of licensure if, following notification that a person or entity is disqualified or unsuitable, we (a) pay them any
dividend or interest upon our shares; (b) allow them to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right conferred through the shares
they hold; (c) pay them remuneration in any form for services rendered or otherwise; or (d) if required, fail to pursue all lawful efforts
to require them to relinquish their shares.
Furthermore,
our Charter provides that any of our securities held by a person or entity that is disqualified or unsuitable, as such terms are defined
in our Charter, are subject to redemption by us as and to the extent required by a regulatory authority or deemed necessary or advisable
by our Board in its sole and absolute discretion. If a gaming authority requires the Company, or our Board deems it necessary or advisable,
to cause any such securities be subject to redemption, we will deliver a redemption notice (as described in the Charter) to such person
or entity or its affiliate(s) (as applicable) and we will purchase the number and type of securities specified in the redemption notice
for the redemption price determined in accordance with the Charter and set forth in the redemption notice.
Data
Protection and Privacy
Because
we handle, collect, store, receive, transmit, and otherwise process certain personal information of our users, customers, and employees,
we are also subject to federal, state, and international laws and regulations related to the privacy and protection of such data. Regulations
such as the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union put into effect in 2018 and the California Consumer Privacy Act,
could affect our business, and the potential impact is still being determined. Other states are considering similar laws, which could
impact our business.
Responsible
and Underage Gaming
We
are committed to compliance with the underage and responsible gambling requirements set forth in applicable domestic and international
statutes and regulations governing our operations. We take our corporate responsibility to our users and the regulators with authority
over our business very seriously, and we are focused on maintaining a safe and responsible gaming environment. We support and are members
of the National Council on Problem Gaming, whose mission is to lead state and national stakeholders in the development of comprehensive
policy and programs for all those affected by problem gaming. We continue to evaluate and develop our technology to meet the statutory
requirements regarding responsible gaming and self-exclusion, as well as our own self-imposed objectives regarding corporate social responsibility.
All
of the U.S. jurisdictions and most of the international jurisdictions in which we operate prohibit sales of lottery tickets to persons
under 18 years of age. We have instituted know-your-customer requirements to aid our efforts in identifying minors and preventing them
from using our services.
Many
jurisdictions, especially international jurisdictions, are imposing more stringent rules with regard to underage and responsible gambling.
This trend could continue to spread, and both U.S. and international jurisdictions may strengthen underage and responsible gambling requirements.
Compliance
We
intend to continue to develop a comprehensive internal compliance program, which will ensure compliance with legal requirements imposed
in connection with our activities and with legal requirements generally applicable to publicly traded companies. While we are firmly
committed to full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, we cannot ensure that our compliance program will prevent the
violation of one or more laws or regulations, or that a violation by us, an employee, a customer or other third-party will not result
in enforcement action, the imposition of a monetary fine or suspension or revocation of one or more of our licenses, which could have
a material adverse effect on us or on our results of operations, cash flow, or financial condition.
12
Because we do business multinationally,
our operations are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption laws and regulations such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of
1977, the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 and other anti-corruption laws that may apply where we operate. As we enter new foreign markets, we
are likely to become subject to additional laws and regulations and restrictions, which increases the risk that we or one of our subsidiaries
will inadvertently violate one of such laws or regulations.
Governance
Changes
All members of the Board and
all principal executive officers who served in such positions at the time of the 2022 Operational Cessation have resigned from such positions
and are no longer serving in any capacity with the Company or its subsidiaries. Matthew McGahan is now the sole director of Global Gaming
and Gregory Potts was appointed to the boards of Juega Lotto and Aganar. Corporate governance for Tinbu, LLC remains the same with AutoLotto,
Inc. being the sole managing member of the LLC.
Employees
As of the date of this Report,
the Company has six employees and nine key contractors who remain active in the efforts to restore the Company’s U.S. operations.
Additionally, the Company has six employe es to support international
operations.
Intellectual
Property
We
rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, and trade secret protection laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, as well as confidentiality
procedures and contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and our brand.
We
have been using the LOTTERY.COM trademark since 2017; in February 2022, the LOTTERY.COM logo was registered on the Supplemental Register
of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. As of December 31, 2024, the registrations of our LOTTERY.COM word mark was pending with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We are also using or have common-law trademark rights in the trademarks AUTOLOTTO, SPORTS.COM,
and “TAP, TAP, TICKET.” We will continue to evaluate the filing of trademark applications in the U.S. and select foreign
markets, as appropriate.
While
we did not have any patent applications or own any issued patents as of December 31, 2024, we will continue to evaluate our technology
to determine whether it is appropriate to file patent applications in the U.S. or internationally.
We
seek to protect our intellectual property rights by implementing policies that require our employees and independent contractors involved
in development of intellectual property to enter into agreements acknowledging that all intellectual property generated or conceived
by them on our behalf are our property and assigning to us any rights that they may claim or otherwise have in those works or property,
to the extent allowable under applicable law.
Notwithstanding
our best efforts to protect our technology and proprietary rights through registrations, licenses, and contracts, unauthorized parties
may still seek to use our intellectual property and technology without rights thereto. We may also face allegations that we have infringed
the intellectual property rights of third parties, including our competitors.
