INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(containing information as at November 5, 2025 unless indicated otherwise)

For the Annual General and Special Meeting
to be held on Thursday, December 18, 2025

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Management of JACKPOT DIGITAL INC. (the “Company” or “Jackpot”), for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting (the “Meeting”), of the Shareholders of the Company, to be held on Thursday, the 18th day of December, 2025, at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. The enclosed Instrument of Proxy is solicited by Management of the Company. The solicitation will be primarily by mail, however, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by the regular officers and employees of the Company. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the accompanying form of Proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company. A SHAREHOLDER HAS THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A PERSON (WHO NEED NOT BE A SHAREHOLDER) TO ATTEND AND ACT FOR HIM ON HIS BEHALF AT THE MEETING OTHER THAN THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED INSTRUMENT OF PROXY. TO EXERCISE THIS RIGHT, A SHAREHOLDER SHALL STRIKE OUT THE NAMES OF THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE INSTRUMENT OF PROXY AND INSERT THE NAME OF HIS/HER NOMINEE IN THE BLANK SPACE PROVIDED, OR COMPLETE ANOTHER INSTRUMENT OF PROXY. A PROXY WILL NOT BE VALID UNLESS IT IS DEPOSITED WITH THE COMPANY’S REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT, COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR SERVICES INC., 100 UNIVERSITY AVENUE, 9TH FLOOR, TORONTO, ONTARIO, M5J 2Y1, OR BY TOLL FREE FAX AT 1-866-249-7775 NOT LESS THAN 48 HOURS (EXCLUDING SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS) BEFORE THE TIME OF THE MEETING OR ADJOURNMENT THEREOF.

The Instrument of Proxy must be signed and dated by the Shareholder or by his attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a Corporation, it must either be under its common seal or signed by a duly authorized officer.

A Shareholder who has given a Proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a Corporation, it must either be under its common seal, or signed by a duly authorized officer and deposited at the Company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of it, at which the Proxy is to be used, or to the Chairperson of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment of it. A revocation of a Proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

VOTING OF SHARES AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION OF PROXIES

On any poll, the persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy will vote the shares in respect of which they are appointed. Where directions are given by the Shareholder in respect of voting for or against any resolution, the proxy holder will do so in accordance with such direction.

IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY INSTRUCTION IN THE PROXY, IT IS INTENDED THAT SUCH SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE MOTIONS PROPOSED TO BE MADE AT THE MEETING AS STATED UNDER THE HEADINGS IN THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. The Instrument of Proxy enclosed, when properly signed, confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters which may properly be brought before the Meeting. At the time of printing/posting this Information Circular, the Management of the Company is not aware that any such amendments, variations or other matters are to be presented for action at the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to the Management should properly come before the Meeting, the Proxies hereby solicited will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the nominee.


  • 2 -

In order to approve a motion proposed at the Meeting, a majority of greater than one-half of the votes cast will be required (an “Ordinary Resolution”) unless the motion requires a Special Resolution, in which case a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast will be required. In the event a motion proposed at the Meeting requires disinterested Shareholder approval, common shares (“Common Shares”) held by Shareholders of the Company who have an interest in the motion and their “associates”, as such term is defined under applicable securities laws, will be excluded from the count of votes cast on such motion.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as “Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then, in almost all cases, those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). The Common Shares held by brokers or their agents or nominees can only be voted (for or against resolutions) upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, a broker and its agents are prohibited from voting shares for the broker’s clients. Therefore, Beneficial Shareholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person.

Applicable regulatory rules require intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders’ meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their shares are voted at the Meeting. The purpose of the form of Proxy or voting instruction form provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker, agent or nominee is limited to instructing the registered holder of the Common Shares on how to vote such shares on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Investor Communications (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically supplies a voting instruction form, mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks those Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge or follow specific telephone or other voting procedures. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received by it and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of the shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a voting instruction form from Broadridge cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. Instead, the voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge or the alternate voting procedures must be completed well in advance of the Meeting in order to ensure such Common Shares are voted.

Although Beneficial Shareholders may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purpose of voting Common Shares registered in the name of their broker, agent or nominee, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as a proxyholder for a Shareholder and vote Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered Shareholder should contact their broker, agent or nominee well in advance of the Meeting to determine the steps necessary to permit them to indirectly vote their Common Shares as a proxyholder.

All references to Shareholders in this Information Circular and the accompanying form of Proxy are to registered Shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

NOTICE AND ACCESS

Effective February 11, 2013, the Canadian Securities Administrators adopted regulatory amendments to securities laws governing the delivery of proxy-related materials by public companies. As a result, public companies are now permitted to advise their shareholders of the availability of all proxy-related materials on an easily accessible website, rather than mailing physical copies of materials.

The Company elected to use the “notice and access” provisions under National Instrument 54-101 for the Meeting and has decided to deliver the Meeting materials to Shareholders by posting the Meeting materials on its website (https://www.jackpotdigital.com/generalmeeting.html) as of November 13, 2025 and will remain on the website for one full year thereafter. The Meeting materials will also be available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca as of November 13, 2025.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value. As at November 5, 2025 (the “Record Date”), the Company has 280,725,963 Common Shares issued and outstanding, each share carrying the right to one vote.


  • 3 -

Any Shareholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date who either personally attends the Meeting or who has completed and delivered a Proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above, shall be entitled to vote or to have such Shareholder's shares voted at the Meeting or adjournment thereof.

To the best of the knowledge of Jackpot's directors and senior officers, the only persons or corporations who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Jackpot Shares as of the Record Date are:

Name of Jackpot Shareholder Number of Jackpot Shares Percentage of Issued and Outstanding Jackpot Shares
Lyle A. Berman Revocable Trust and Theresa Berman 2012 Trust FBO

CURRENCY

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Through its executive compensation practices, the Company seeks to provide value to its Shareholders through a strong executive leadership. Specifically, the Company's executive compensation structure seeks to attract and retain talented and experienced executives necessary to achieve the Company's strategic objectives, motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to the Company's success, and align the interests of the Company's executives and Shareholders by motivating executives to increase Shareholder value.

Compensation provided to the Company's NEOs is determined and reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors. In establishing executive compensation policies, the Board of Directors takes into consideration the recommendations of Management.

Compensation for the Company's NEOs consists of:

(a) salary, consulting or management fees; and
(b) long term incentive in the form of incentive stock options.

The specific elements of compensation and compensation levels are based on what is required to attract and retain qualified and experienced executives to assist with the continued success of the Company and are intended to provide executives with appropriate compensation and incentives so as to encourage the further growth and development of the Company.

In determining compensation for the NEOs, the Company relies solely on the experience and knowledge of the Board of Directors in terms of appropriate compensation for executive officers with similar abilities and experience acting for companies at a similar stage of development. Factors taken into account by the Board include an assessment of each NEO's experience, level of expertise, responsibilities and previous remuneration. Other factors considered included prevailing industry demand for personnel having comparable skills and performing similar duties, the compensation the individual could reasonably expect to receive from a competitor and the Company's ability to pay.

Although the Board of Directors has not formally evaluated the risks associated with the Company's compensation policies and practices, the Board has no reason to believe that any risks that arise from the Company's compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company.

Option Based Awards

The Company has in effect a stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) in order to provide effective incentives to directors, officers, senior management personnel and employees of the Company and to enable the Company to attract and retain experienced and qualified individuals in those positions by permitting such individuals to directly participate in an increase in per share value created for the Company’s Shareholders. The Company has no equity compensation plans other than the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan is an important part of the Company’s long-term incentive strategy for its executive officers, permitting them to participate in any appreciation of the market value of the Common Shares over a stated period of time. The Stock Option Plan is intended to reinforce commitment to long-term growth in profitability and Shareholder value. The size of stock option grants to officers is dependent on each officer’s level of responsibility, authority and importance to the Company and the degree to which such executive officer’s long-term contribution to the Company will be key to its long-term success. Previous grants of stock options are taken into account when considering new grants.

Use of Financial Instruments

The Company does not have in place policies which restrict the ability of directors or Named Executive Officers to purchase financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by a director or Named Executive Officer. Any such purchases would be subject to applicable insider reporting requirements.

(e) Notification and Disclosure by the Company

ITEM 1: THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S CHARTER

Purpose

The overall purpose of the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of Jackpot Digital Inc. (the "Company") is to ensure that the Company's Management has designed and implemented an effective system of internal financial controls, to review and report on the integrity of the consolidated financial statements and related financial disclosure of the Company, and to review the Company's compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements as they relate to financial statements, taxation matters and disclosure of financial information. It is the intention of the Board that through the involvement of the Committee, the external audit will be conducted independently of the Company's Management to ensure that the independent auditors serve the interests of Shareholders rather than the interests of Management of the Company.

The Committee will monitor the independence and performance of the Company's independent auditors.

Composition, Procedures and Organization

For the purposes of this Charter, an individual is financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.

ITEM 2: COMPOSITION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The current members of the Committee are Neil Spellman, Gregory Todd McFarlane and Alan Artunian. All of the members are financially literate.

ITEM 3: RELEVANT EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

The Instrument provides that an individual is "financially literate" if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements.

All of the members of the Company's audit committee are financially literate as that term is defined in the Instrument.

All members have an understanding of the accounting principles used by the Company to prepare its financial statements and have an understanding of its internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Section 8 permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of the Instrument, in whole or in part.

ITEM 6: PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Formal policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services have yet to be formulated and adopted. Subject to the requirements of the Instrument, the engagement of non-audit services is considered by the Company's Board of Directors, and where applicable by the Audit Committee, on a case-by-case basis.

SCHEDULE "B"
JACKPOT DIGITAL INC.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices the Company is required to and hereby discloses its corporate governance practices as follows.

ITEM 1. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of the Company facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company’s management through frequent meetings of the Board.

Mr. Gregory T. McFarlane, a director of the Company, is "independent" in that he has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

Mr. Alan Artunian, a director of the Company, is "independent" in that he has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.

A material relationship is a relationship which could, in the view of the Company’s board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a member’s independent judgment.

Mr. Jake Kalpakian is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and is therefore not independent.

Mr. Neil Spellman is the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and is therefore not independent.

ITEM 2. DIRECTORSHIPS

The directors of the Company are currently directors of the following other reporting issuers:

Name of Director Name of Reporting Issuer Term
Jake H. Kalpakian 37 Capital Inc. (CSE)
Yo Eleven Gaming Inc. (not publicly traded)
Kalma Capital Corp. (TSX.V) January 1991 to present

Yo Eleven Gaming Inc.(not publicly traded) August 2016 to present
June 2021 to present
Alan Artunian Yo Eleven Gaming Inc. (not publicly traded) June 2021 to present

ITEM 3. ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

The Board of Directors of the Company briefs all new directors with the policies of the Board of Directors, and other relevant corporate and business information.

ITEM 4. ETHICAL BUSINESS CONDUCT

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Under the corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances, and disclose to the board the nature and extent of any interest of the director in any material


  • 2 -

contract or material transaction, whether made or proposed, if the director is a party to the contract or transaction, is a director or officer (or an individual acting in a similar capacity) of a party to the contract or transaction or has a material interest in a party to the contract or transaction. The director must then abstain from voting on the contract or transaction unless the contract or transaction (i) relates primarily to their remuneration as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or an affiliate of the Company, (ii) is for indemnity or insurance for the benefit of the director in connection with the Company, or (iii) is with an affiliate of the Company. If the director abstains from voting after disclosure of their interest, the directors approve the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Company at the time it was entered into, the contract or transaction is not invalid and the director is not accountable to the Company for any profit realized from the contract or transaction. Otherwise, the director must have acted honestly and in good faith, the contract or transaction must have been reasonable and fair to the Company and the contract or transaction be approved by the shareholders by a special resolution after receiving full disclosure of its terms in order for the director to avoid such liability or the contract or transaction being invalid.

ITEM 5. NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become new Board members and recommending to the Board new director nominees for the next annual meeting of the Shareholders.

New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to the Company, the ability to devote the time required, shown support for the Company's mission and strategic objectives, and a willingness to serve.

ITEM 6. COMPENSATION
