Victory Square Technologies Inc. ("Victory Square'' or the "Company") (CSE:VST) (OTC: VSQTF) (FWB:6F6) is pleased to announce that Bill C-218, a bill that legalizes single-game sports wagering has passed the Canadian Senate and now proceeds for Royal Assent to become law in Canada.
Known as The Safe and Regulated Sports Betting Act, Bill C-218 repeals a section of Canada's criminal code, which makes wagering on a single sporting event outcome illegal in Canada.
Victory Square is pleased to have two portfolio companies that will benefit from this announcement: GameOn Entertainment Technologies (CSE:GET) and FansUnite Entertainment (CSE:FANS).
Once the Bill C-218 receives Royal Assent, the Company anticipates many opportunities to license and or joint venture across the 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada and also in the legalized global markets. According to the Canadian Gaming Association, over $14 billion is wagered offshore by Canadians and through illegal bookmaking operations in Canada.

"The Senate adoption of Bill C-218 will have a significant positive impact upon Victory Square portfolio companies; GameOn and FansUnite," said Shafin Diamond Tejani, CEO of Victory Square Technologies. "Both GameOn and FansUnite have strategically positioned their respective companies to capitalize upon the upcoming legal sport wagering opportunities in Canada and those legal in the USA and beyond." "GameOn's proprietary interactive gaming models will complement live games and gaming operators, while FansUnite's software will enable it to capitalize upon the legal gaming boon that is soon to come," said Tejani.
