Yes The Board is responsible for overseeing the management of the Company’s business and the overall corporate
governance of the Company. The Board monitors the operational and financial performance of the Company and

strategic direction of the Company.
The Board has adopted a written charter to provide a framework for the effective operation of the Board, which sets out
the Board’s composition, role and responsibilities and the relationship and interaction between the Board and
management, and the authority delegated by the Board to management and any Board committees.
The Company has also established a clear delineation between the Board’s responsibility for the Company’s strategy
and activities, and the day-to-day management of operations conferred upon the Chief Executive Officer and certain
other officers of the Company. The Board (in accordance with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter)
evaluates the performance of senior executives.
Please also refer the Board Charter available via the Company’s website,http://investors.thebetmakers.com/corporate-

1.2 A listed entity should:

undertake appropriate checks before appointing a person, or
putting forward to security holders a candidate for election,
as a director; and
(b)
provide security holders with all material information in its
possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect
or re-elect a director.
Yes The Company has adopted a Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter to guide the Board in discharging its
obligations to identify nominees for appointment as a Director at each annual general meeting and ensure that the audit,
compensation and nomination, and corporate governance committees of the Board, have the benefit of qualified and
experienced independent directors. The Company has also developed a Selection and Appointment of Directors Policy,
Diversity Policy and Remuneration Policy to guide the Board in discharging these obligations.
On 25 May 2018, Matthew Cain (member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee) resigned from the Board.
Prior to Matthew’s resignation, the Company’s then-constituted Nomination and Remuneration Committee undertook the
above obligations. However, following Matthew’s resignation, the Board believes that it is currently not of a relevant size
to maintain a Nomination Committee and, accordingly, the Board remains responsible for such matters and will discharge
its responsibilities in accordance with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter (to the extent applicable).
The Company provides its security holders with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on
whether or not to elect or re-elect a director in accordance with its Shareholder Communications Policy.
Please also refer to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter and Shareholder Communications Policy

“senior executive” for these purposes); or
(2) if the entity is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace
Gender Equality Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender
Equality Indicators”, as defined in and published under
that Act.
Partially Whilst meritocracy must be the overriding guiding principle, the Board has implemented a Diversity Policy that seeks to
align the Company’s recruitment, remuneration and management systems with the commitment to develop a workplace
culture that values and strives to achieve diversity in its workforce and on its Board.
The Diversity Policy requires the Board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity within the
Company’s business and will require senior management to report annually on the achievement of those objectives.
The Board believes that the Company is not presently of a size or complexity which justifies the need to set measurable
objectives for achieving diversity, however, the Board believes that its current initiatives in accordance with the
Company’s Diversity Policy in a broader sense satisfy the Company’s obligation to comply with this Recommendation
1.5.
The Board assessed the gender diversity of the Company at the end of the Reporting Period and discloses the following
proportions of men and women:

whole organisation: 43 men and 5 women;

senior executive positions: 3 men and 0 women;

including the Company Secretary

individual Directors on an annual basis.
During the Reporting Period the Board continuously evaluated the Board’s performance and processes. In light of
Matthew Cain’s resignation on 25 May 2018 and the Company’s ongoing strategy to execute on its wholesale business,
the Board has also resolved to undertake a Board performance evaluation, focussing on any gaps in the skills and
experience of the current Board, and is currently completing such evaluation.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter (as currently implemented by the Board) sets out the

which each member attended all 7 meetings.
Following Matthew’s resignation, the Board believes that it is currently not of a relevant size to maintain a Nomination

specialist advisory services to the Company, which were in addition to the Director’s services as non-executive Director
of the Company. SDMSC no longer provides consultancy services to the Company.

the arrangement would not affect Simon Dulhunty’s ability to bring an independent judgment to Board matters or
otherwise affect his duties as non-executive Director of the Company.
Further, the Board believes that the Company is not presently of a size or complexity which justifies the appointment of
additional independent directors to meet the independence requirement of this Recommendation 2.3. However, the
