Through integration of SharpLink’s C4 sports betting conversion technology with the SportsHub platform, we intend to proactively engage and convert these fans into sports bettors in states where online sports betting and iGaming have been legalized, thereby driving deeper market penetration and fueling revenue growth for our Company. We are very excited about the opportunities ahead of SharpLink and the long-term value creation we expect to deliver to our shareholders.”
