The Meeting will be held in a virtual-only format, which will be conducted via live webcast at https://virtual-meetings.tsxtrust.com/1157 (meeting ID: 1157, password: luck2021) on August 13, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. (local time in Calgary, Alberta).

The Company will pay the cost of solicitation. All amounts referred to as $ or dollars means Canadian currency, unless otherwise indicated.

NOTICE AND ACCESS

The Meeting materials are being sent to both Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders (as defined below) using “notice-and-access”, the delivery procedures that allow us to send Shareholders paper copies of an information notice and form of proxy or voting information form, as applicable, while providing shareholders access to electronic copies of the Meeting materials or to paper copies of the materials if they so request them within the applicable time periods.

Meeting materials are available electronically on SEDAR (sedar.com) under our issuer profile and at https://docs.tsxtrust.com/2257. Shareholders who want to receive a paper copy of the Notice of Meeting, Information Circular and form of proxy for a registered Shareholder or a voting instruction form for a non-registered beneficial Shareholder (collectively, the " Meeting Materials ") or who have questions about notice-and-access may call toll free 1-866-600-5869 or email [email protected]. In order to receive a paper copy in time to vote before the Meeting, requests should be received by August 4, 2021.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a Shareholder’s behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder in the proxy. The persons whose names are printed in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or directors of the Company (the " Management Proxyholders ").

A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than a Management Proxyholder to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person’s name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form. A proxyholder need not be a Shareholder.

VOTING BY PROXY

Only registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Class A Common Shares of the Company (" Shares ") represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on each matter referred to in the notice of meeting accompanying this Information Circular (the " Notice of Meeting ") in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on

  • 5 -

any ballot that may be called for and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

If a Shareholder does not specify a choice and the Shareholder has appointed one of the Management Proxyholders as proxyholder, the Management Proxyholder will vote in favour of the matters specified in the Notice of Meeting and in favour of all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy also gives discretionary authority to the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

COMPLETION AND RETURN OF PROXY

Completed forms of proxy must be deposited at the office of the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, Telus Sky Building, 2110, 685 Centre Street SW, Calgary, AB T2G 1S5, not later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only Shareholders whose names appear on the records of the Company as the registered holders of Shares or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders of the Company are "non-registered" Shareholders (" Non-Registered Shareholders ") because the shares they own are not registered in their names but instead registered in the name of a nominee such as a brokerage firm through which they purchased the Shares; bank, trust company, trustee or administrator of self-administered RRSP's, RRIF's, RESP's and similar plans; or clearing agency such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited and in the United States, under the name Cede & Co., as nominee for the Depository Trust Company (which acts as a brokerage depository for many U.S. firms and custodial banks) (a " Nominee "). If you purchased your Shares through a broker, you are likely a Non-Registered Shareholder.

In accordance with securities regulatory policy, the Company has distributed and provided instructions for the distribution of, copies of the Meeting Materials, including the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy, to the Nominees for distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders.

Nominees are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders to seek their voting instructions in advance of the Meeting. Shares held by Nominees can only be voted in accordance with the instructions of the Non-Registered Shareholder. The Nominees often have their own voting instruction form or proxy, mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions. If you wish to vote by proxy, you should carefully follow the voting instructions from the Nominee in order to ensure that your Shares are voted at the Meeting.

If you, as a Non-Registered Shareholder, wish to vote at the Meeting in person (by virtual attendance) you should appoint yourself as proxyholder by writing your name in the space provided on the request for voting instructions or proxy provided by the Nominee and return the form to the Nominee in the envelope provided. Do not complete the voting section of the form as your vote will be taken at the Meeting.

  • 6 -

Non-Registered Shareholders who have not objected to their Nominee disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "non-objecting beneficial owners" (" NOBOs "). Those Non-Registered Shareholders who have objected to their Nominee disclosing ownership information about themselves to the Company are referred to as "objecting beneficial owners" (" OBOs ").

In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (" NI 54-101 ") of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has NOT elected to send the Meeting Materials directly to NOBOs. The Company does intend to pay for Nominees to deliver the Meeting Materials to OBOs. As a result, OBOs should expect to receive the Meeting materials.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Shareholder, his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, a corporation under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, may revoke a proxy by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class A Common Shares without par value, of which 68,588,500 Shares are issued and outstanding (68,528,500 Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date). Persons who are registered Shareholders at the close of business on June 25, 2021 (the “ Record Date ”) will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting and will be entitled to one vote for each Share held. The Company is also authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class B Common Shares and an unlimited number of Preferred Shares, issuable in series.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, no person beneficially owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all shares of the Company.

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) presently consists of five (5) directors to be elected annually. At the Meeting, it is proposed to keep the number of directors elected at five (5) directors to hold office until the next annual general meeting.

RTGS further reserved the right to immediately terminate Mr. Martin’s employment in the case of gross or detrimental misconduct on Mr. Martin’s part. Under the 2020 QM Employment, if notice of termination was provided, the RTGS held the right to restrict certain rights and duties of Mr. Martin in relation to his role as Chief Executive Officer.

The 2020 QM Employment Agreement was superseded by a new contract of employment entered into between Mr. Martin and RTGS on January 29, 2021 which contained terms substantially similar to the 2020 QM Employment Agreement. Mr. Martin voluntarily resigned as Chief Executive Officer and a Director on May 7, 2021.

See “ Particulars of Other Matters to be Acted Upon – Ratification of Stock Option Grants ” for additional details.

Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation

The objective of the Company’s compensation strategy is to provide adequate levels of base compensation for its directors and Named Executive Officers as well as discretionary bonuses to act as incentive mechanisms for achieving corporate goals and objectives and ensure compensation is competitive so as to enable the Company to continue to attract talented individuals. Each Named Executive Officer receives a base salary in recognition of the position’s day-to-day duties and responsibilities, which constitutes the largest share of the Named Executive Officer’s compensation package.

The Compensation Committee, a committee of the Board, is responsible for establishing management compensation. The Board, and the Compensation Committee thereof, do not have a pre-determined, performance-based compensation plan, but rather review the performance of management on an annual basis, or more frequently if deemed necessary by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, as at December 31, 2020, was comprised of the following directors: Messrs. Green (Chair), Melnick and Raza. Messrs. Melnick and Raza are independent of management of the Company.

In accordance with the Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation Committee, among other things, evaluates the performance of directors and Named Executive Offficers against certain corporate goals and objectives, reviews and recommends to the Board the compensation paid to directors and Named Executive Officers and oversees and evaluates the Company’s general compensation structure and policies. Pursuant to the Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation Committee also reviews and administers the Stock Option Plan (as defined below).

Cash compensation may be provided to directors and Named Executive Officers in the form of annual salaries and, where appropriate, year-end cash or equity bonuses. Cash compensation levels for directors and Named Executive Officers are based on the respective directors’ and Named Executive Officer’s qualifications, experience and responsibilities within the Company, and are intended to be competitive with salaries paid to others in comparable positions within the same industry. For annual

  • 14 -

salary increases, the Board will consider a director’s or Named Executive Officer’s increased level of experience, whether or not the director’s or Named Executive Officer’s responsibilities have increased over the past year and current compensation levels and practices within the Esports betting industry. The Compensation Committee annually reviews key performance indicators such as share price, finance and project advancement. The cash element of compensation is designed to ensure the Company’s access to skilled personnel necessary to achieve its corporate objectives. The Board also considers, on an annual basis, discretionary cash or equity bonuses to reward extraordinary performance during the preceding fiscal year. In determining whether a bonus will be given, the Board considers such factors as the executive’s performance over the past year, the Company’s achievements in the past year and the executive’s role in effecting such achievements.

Incentive stock options may be granted to the Company’s directors and Named Executive Officers based on the value such directors and Named Executive Officers create for the Company's shareholders. From time to time, the Company may choose to pay compensation in the form of incentive stock options in order to align the directors’ and Named Executive Officers’ compensation with their contribution to the success of the Company in creating shareholder value, to provide a retentive effect on the directors and Named Executive Officers, and to provide compensation that is in line with the Company's fiscal resources.

Pension Disclosure

The Company does not have a pension plan that provides for payments or benefits to the Named Executive Officers or directors at, following, or in connection with retirement.

  • (ii) the interests of individuals who are eligible participants and/or optionees under the Stock Option Plan in the approval of the Stock Option Plan (as more particularly set out under “ Approval of Stock Option Plan ”) and certain grants under the Stock Option Plan (as more particularly set out under “ Ratification of Stock Option Grants ”).

  • 16 -

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

No informed person or proposed director of the Company and no associate or affiliate of the foregoing persons has or has had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the commencement of the Company's most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which in either such case has materially affected or would materially affect the Company.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

Baker Tilly WM LLP is the auditor of the Company. Baker Tilly WM LLP was first appointed as successor auditor on February 12, 2021, replacing Baker Tilly Isle of Man LLC, the predecessor auditor of Former Luckbox (as reverse takeover acquirer of the Company). Unless otherwise instructed, the proxies given pursuant to this solicitation will vote FOR the appointment of Baker Tilly WM LLP as the auditor of the Company to hold office for the ensuing year at a remuneration to be fixed by the directors.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

No management functions of the Company or its subsidiaries are performed or, since the start of the Company's most recently completed financial year, have been performed to any substantial degree by a person other than the directors or executive officers of the Company or its subsidiaries.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Additional information regarding the Audit Committee is contained in the annual information form of the Company dated May 7, 2021 (the “ AIF ”) under the heading “Audit Committee” and a copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached hereto as Schedule “A”. The AIF is available under the Company’s issuer profile on SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

National Policy 58-201 establishes corporate governance guidelines which apply to all public companies. The Company has reviewed its own corporate governance practices in light of these guidelines. In certain cases, the Company’s practices comply with the guidelines, however, the Board considers that some of the guidelines are not suitable for the Company at its current stage of development and therefore these guidelines have not been adopted. National Instrument 58-101 mandates disclosure of corporate governance practices which disclosure is set out below.

Independence of Members of Board

The Board consists of five (5) directors of whom a majority are independent. Drew Green, Lloyd Melnick and Maruf Raza are independent based upon the tests for independence set forth in NI 52-110. Thomas Rosander and Michael Stevens are not independent. Mr. Rosander currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Michael Stevens served as Corporate Secretary of the Company up until December 16, 2021.

Management Supervision by Board

The size of the Company is such that all the Company’s operations are conducted by a small management team which is also represented on the Board. The Board considers that management is effectively supervised by the independent directors on an informal basis as the independent directors are actively and regularly involved in reviewing and supervising the operations of the Company and have regular and full access to management. The independent directors are also able to meet at any time

  • 17 -

without any members of management, including the non-independent directors, being present. Further supervision is performed through the Audit Committee (which is composed entirely of independent directors) who meet with the Company's auditors without management being in attendance.

Participation of Directors in Other Reporting Issuers

Some of the directors of the Company serve on boards of directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent) in Canada or foreign jurisdictions. The following table lists the directors and proposed directors of the Company who serve on boards of directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent) and the identities of such reporting issuers (or the equivalent).

Name of Director
Drew Green
Maruf Raza
Reporting Issuers (or the Equivalent)

EMERGE Commerce Ltd. (TSXV)
American Aires Inc. (CSE)
White Gold Corp. (TSXV)

The Board has determined that these inter-locking directorships do not adversely impact the effectiveness of these directors on the Board or create any potential for conflicts of interest. However, certain of the Company’s directors are, or may become, directors, officers or shareholders of other companies with businesses which may conflict with the Company’s business.

Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company's business, assets and industry and on the responsibilities of directors. Meetings of the Board are sometimes combined with presentations by the Company's management to give the directors additional insight into the Company's business. In addition, management of the Company makes itself available for discussion with all members of the Board.

Board members are encouraged to communicate with management, auditors and technical consultants; to keep themselves current with industry trends and developments and changes in legislation with management’s assistance; and to attend related industry seminars. Board members have full access to the Company's records.

Ethical Business Conduct

The Board does not currently have a written code of ethics. To date, given the Company’s limited operations, 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 obligations contained in corporate legislation regarding conflicts of interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board's duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of view and experience.

The Board does not have a nominating committee and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole; however, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Company, this policy will be reviewed.

  • 18 -

Compensation of Directors and the CEO

The Board, on recommendation from the Compensation Committee, is responsible for determining compensation for the directors of the Company to ensure it reflects the responsibilities and risks of being a director of a public company.

Other Board Committees

The Board has no committee other than the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.

Assessments

Due to the minimal size of the Board, no formal policy has been established to monitor the effectiveness of the directors, the Board and its committees.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Approval of Stock Option Plan

The Board has adopted a 20% “fixed” stock option plan (the “ Stock Option Plan ”) for officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. The adoption of the Stock Option Plan was initially approved on November 9, 2020 whereby the shareholders of the Company approved an ordinary resolution which authorized the directors of the Company to adopt, if they saw fit, a 20% fixed number option plan in place of the then current 10% rolling option plan. The Board formally adopted the Stock Option Plan on November 26, 2020 whereby the maximum number of Shares to be reserved and authorized for issuance pursuant to Stock Options granted under the Stock Option Plan was 10,057,495. The Board approved the amendment of the Stock Option Plan on June 30, 2021 such that the maximum number of Shares to be reserved and authorized for issuance pursuant to Stock Options granted under the Stock Option Plan is now 13,705,700.

The Board is now further seeking disinterested shareholder approval to approve and ratify the Stock Option Plan. As of the date hereof, the Company has granted 8,599,166 Stock Options under the Stock Option Plan with a further 5,106,534 Stock Options available for issuance.

The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to give to directors, officers, employees and other service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries, as additional compensation, the opportunity to participate in the success of the Company by granting to such individuals, incentive stock options to purchase Shares (“ Stock Options ”).

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Stock Option Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Stock Option Plan, which is attached hereto as Schedule "B":

  • a) The Stock Option Plan is a “fixed” plan. The number of Shares to be reserved and authorized for issuance pursuant to Stock Options granted under the Stock Option Plan shall not exceed 13,705,700 Stock Options.

  • d) Stock Options shall be exercisable for a term of up to ten years, subject to earlier termination in the event of the optionee's death or the cessation of the optionee's services to the Company.

  • e) Stock Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are non-assignable, except by the laws of descent and distribution.

  • g) Pursuant to the policies of the Company respecting restrictions on trading, there are a number of periods each year during which directors, officers and certain employees are precluded from trading in the Company's securities. These periods are referred to as "blackout periods". A blackout period is designed to prevent a person from trading while in possession of material information that is not yet available to other Shareholders. The Stock Option Plan includes a provision that should a Stock Option expiration date fall within a blackout period or immediately following a blackout period, the expiration date shall automatically be extended for ten business days following the end of the blackout period.

At the Meeting, the Option Plan Disinterested Shareholders (as defined below) will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution in the form set out below (the " Stock Option Plan Resolution "), subject to such amendments, variations or additions as may be approved at the Meeting, approving and ratifying the Stock Option Plan.

As of the Record Date, the Option Plan Disinterested Shareholders beneficially owned an aggregate of 63,603,821 Shares representing approximately 92.81% of the issued and outstanding number of Shares.

Accordingly, at the Meeting, the Option Plan Disinterested Shareholders are being asked to consider and, if thought advisable, approve an ordinary resolution in the following form:

" UPON MOTION IT WAS RESOLVED THAT :

  1. the Stock Option Plan, in the form attached to the Information Circular dated June 30, 2021 as Schedule “B”, is hereby approved, ratified and confirmed;

Audit Committee Charter

PURPOSE

The primary function of the Audit Committee (the “ Committee ”) is to assist the Corporation’s board of directors (the " Board ") in fulfilling its financial oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Corporation to regulatory authorities and shareholders, the Corporation's systems of internal controls regarding finance and accounting and the Corporation's auditing, accounting, and financial reporting processes. Consistent with this function, the Committee will encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster adherence to, the Corporation's policies, procedures and practices at all levels.

At least one member of the Committee will have Canadian financial reporting skills and experience with audit engagements for public companies. All members of the Committee will be financially literate. For the purposes of this Audit Committee Charter (the “ Charter ”), the definition of "financially literate" is 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 presumably be expected to be raised by the Corporation's financial statements.

The members of the Committee will be elected by the Board at its first meeting following the annual shareholders' meeting. Unless a chairperson of the Committee (the “ Chair ”) is elected by the full Board, the members of the Committee may designate a Chair by a majority vote of the full Committee membership. The Chair must have Canadian financial reporting skills and experience with audit engagements for public companies.

MEETINGS

The Committee will meet at least four times annually , or more frequently as circumstances dictate. As part of its job to foster open communication, the Committee will meet at least annually with the Chief Financial Officer and the external auditors in separate sessions.
