GameOn Partners with NBA Player-Backed NFT Project Chibi Dinos for First-of-its-Kind Gamification

GameOn Entertainment Technologies Inc. (CSE: GET) (OTCQB: GMETF) (FSE: 9E7) ("GameOn" or the "Company"), a leader in providing broadcasters, TV networks, OTT platforms, leagues, tournaments, sportsbooks and NFTs with white label fan engagement technologies around sports, TV and live events, is pleased today to announce a partnership with Chibi Dinos .

The partnership entails Chibi Dinos utilizing GameOn's NFT Prediction Game product to give their 10,000 digital dinos utility in gaming. The deal guarantees GameOn USD$120,000 in revenue with an expected gross profit of 80%. The deal also includes a 50% revenue share of primary and secondary sales of at least one new NFT drop related to the Chibi Dinos NFT Prediction Game.

"NFT creators need ways to give their digital collectibles utility beyond collecting and trading, and that's where GameOn adds value with our innovative fan engagement technologies," said Matt Bailey , GameOn CEO. "Partnering with Chibi Dinos presents a whole new category of customers for GameOn beyond sports, TV and live events rights holders, allowing us to expand our total addressable market. Revenue streams like primary and secondary market NFT sales are uncapped, in perpetuity and therefore particularly lucrative."

Chibi Dinos are 10,000 NFTs of different chibis—a Japanese slang word describing something short, often a specific type of caricature where characters are drawn in an exaggerated way. Chibi Dinos are dressed in dinosaur suits and in the jersey of 10 basketball teams, all backed by current and former NBA players including Michael Carter-Williams , Kendrick Perkins and R.J. Hampton , serving as team captains.

Chibi Dinos sold out in 18 minutes on minting day on August 20 , priced at 0.06 Ethereum (ETH). The collectibles are now available on OpenSea, a peer-to-peer secondary marketplace for NFTs with more than $1 billion in sales to-date.

Launched in July, GameOn's NFT Predictor, spearheaded by Santiago Jaramillo , former Head of Sports at Dapper Labs (NBA Top Shot), enables fans of rights holders who partner with GameOn to build up their collection by acquiring NFTs - images, video or audio - by either purchasing via primary drops or a third-party marketplace. From there, they leverage those assets to make predictions about upcoming events and are rewarded with status, recognition, prizes and exclusive NFTs for finishing high on leaderboards. Completed collections of high-value NFTs can then be traded in for real-life rewards including tickets, merchandise and other exclusive offerings.

The Company also announces the following:

  • It has entered into an engagement with Lambert & Co ("Lambert") to provide investor relations and capital markets advisory services to the Company. The agreement with Lambert has an initial term of one year, for which Lambert will be paid a monthly fee of USD$7,000 .
  • It has entered into an engagement with Oak Hill Capital (" Oak Hill ") to provide investor relations and capital markets advisory services to the Company. The agreement with Oak Hill has an initial term of three months, for which Oak Hill will be paid a monthly fee of CAD$12,000 .
  • It has entered into an engagement with Lion Capital Investment Limited ("Lion") to provide consulting and other services to the Company. The agreement with Lion has an initial term of four months, for which Lion will be paid a fee of USD$450,000 .
  • It has approved the settlement of CAD$14,000.03 of debt through the issuance of common shares of GameOn (the "Debt Settlement") on September 7, 2021 . Pursuant to the Debt Settlement, the Company would issue 41,177 common shares of the Company (the "Shares") at a deemed price of $0.34 per Share to an insider of the company. All securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period which will expire on the date that is four months and one day from the date of issue. There was no material undisclosed information at the time of Debt Settlement.

GameStop (NYSE:GME) continues to cool following a trading frenzy that drove shares up by 75 percent between the close of trading last Friday (May 31) and the start of trading on Monday (June 3).

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
