Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 15, 2020) - Global Daily Fantasy Sports Inc.

("Playgon") as announced by news release dated December 2, 2019 and updated below, that it has entered into an engagement agreement with Beacon Securities Limited (the "Agent") to conduct a brokered private placement on a commercially reasonable best efforts basis of up to 33,333,334 subscription receipts (each, a "Subscription Receipt") of the Company at a price of $0.15 (the "Issue Price") per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $5,000,000 (the "Offering").

The Agent has been granted an option (the "Agent's Option") to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 5,000,000 Subscription Receipts, exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing date of the Offering (the "Closing Date"), for additional aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $750,000. In the event that the Agent's Option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company will be $5,750,000.

Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof, provided that the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below) have been satisfied or waived by the Agent prior to the Release Deadline (as defined below), to receive on the Closing Date one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") without payment of any additional consideration and without further action on the part of the holder. The Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") to be entered into among the Company, the Agent and a subscription receipt agent to be determined. Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the gross proceeds from the Offering, less 50% of the Agent's Fee (as defined below) and the expenses of the Agent (the "Escrowed Funds"), will be held in escrow pending satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), including: (i) all necessary shareholder (if required) and regulatory approvals required for the completion of the Transaction and for the issuance of all Common Shares upon the deemed exercise of the Subscription Receipts having been obtained; and (ii) all of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction shall have been satisfied or waived, other than the release of the Escrowed Funds and the closing of the Transaction. Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions prior to the Release Deadline, the balance of the Agent's Fee will be released to the Agent and the balance of the Escrowed Funds, together with any interest thereon, will be released to the Company.

The Company has agreed to pay the Agent a cash commission (the "Agent's Fee") equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, subject to a reduced commission for any subscriptions from President's list subscribers. The Company has also agreed, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, to issue to the Agent compensation options (the "Compensation Options") on the Closing Date equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Offering, subject to a reduced number of Compensation Options in respect of any subscriptions from President's list subscribers. Upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions and the release of the Escrowed Funds, each Compensation Option will be exercisable for one Common Share at the Issue Price per Common Share for a period of eighteen (18) months following the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, subject to acceleration at the option of the Company in certain circumstances.

The Offering is expected to close on or about February 7, 2020, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approvals of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the Transaction and the launch of Playgon's Las Vegas Studio, sales and marketing, continued software development and for general working capital.

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period from the Closing Date in accordance with Canadian securities legislation.
