Legal Claims

The Company operates in an emerging online gaming industry. For internet based online gaming operations, there is uncertainty as to which country’s law ought to be applied, as the internet operations can be linked to several jurisdictions. Legislation concerning online gaming is under investigation in many jurisdictions. The Company monitors the legal situation within the United States, European Union (the “EU”), and any of its key markets to ensure the Company will be in a position to continue operating in those jurisdictions.

In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to claims and litigation. The Company reviews its legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections, and other legal matters on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions are required. If necessary, the Company establishes accruals for those contingencies when the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and the Company discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued if such disclosure is necessary for the Company’s consolidated financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record an accrual when the likelihood of loss being incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the loss is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote, although disclosures are made for material matters as required by ASC 450-20, Contingencies.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had certain pending or threatened legal claims or actions in which the incurrence of a loss was deemed probable. Ellmount Entertainment Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has litigation pending in Austria and Germany relating to player claims and associated legal fees. The Company has established a full provision for these claims and related fees, which is included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company does not currently target these markets and does not anticipate further claims of a similar nature arising in these markets.

Principal Commitments

The Company’s principal commitments primarily consist of operating lease obligations for office space and finance leases obligations, services agreements, and other contractual commitments. The principal commitments and contingencies are described in Note 15 - Leases.
