The Company continues to actively pursue significant opportunities in new territories as part of our core growth strategy and has successfully established several strategic business development partnerships that hold immense potential in India, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.
As part of these efforts, Streamplay executed a White Labelled Partnership & Distribution Agreement with BAATINE Agency Surl ("BAATINE Agency") in Senegal to design, integrate and deploy a version of the new ArcadeX portal which, similar to mGames, is intended to serve as a central casual tournament and esports hub for the broader African market (ASX: 30 October 2023).

Under the agreement, Streamplay will share 50% of the net revenue after MNO deductions with BAATINE Agency who are covering 100% of all marketing contributions. This collaboration provides Streamplay with an opportunity to begin tapping into a large new market of ~18.1 million population with minimal outlay.
Lordalajiman, CEO of BAATINE Agency, commented:
"Our collaboration with Streamplay to launch Jabaa Games, with its wide library of social games, competitive tournaments and exciting

prizes, represents an exciting and unprecedented move towards redefining the online competitive gaming space in Senegal and West Africa as a whole."
Following completion of the ArcadeX portal setup and customisation, the Company set out to conclude its first key Mobile Network Operator ("MNO") payment gateway integration (ASX: 30 January 2024) in order to formally launch Jabaa Games in Senegal. Streamplay is proud to announce that it successfully integrated with Orange SONATEL's mobile wallet service, "Orange Money", on 22 March 2024, in preparation for the official platform launch in April 2024.
The ArcadeX portal, branded Jabaa Games, will operate as a subscription service offered to Orange Money customers at 100 XAF ($0.25 AUD) per day, 500 XAF ($1.25 AUD) per week and 1500 XAF (~$3.76 AUD) per month.
Go-To-Market Strategy
To effectively penetrate the African market with this casual gaming product, the go-to-market three-phase plan is set to commence on 10 April 2024 with the first week being a soft launch which shall encompass various channels, including Facebook, TikTok, TV, and radio.
Utilising ArcadeX platform's localisation features, the platform will be launched in French and English where the initial phase will focus on building awareness, encouraging users to sign up early and offering rewards. This will enable Jabaa Games to collect user information and establish a marketing database.

Weekly tournaments with valuable prizes will serve as effective marketing incentives. This will also include a referral program where users will be incentivized for referring friends.
