VIP Entertainment Technologies Inc.
Announces Significant Step Forward for
its Operations in Canada
Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire – February 14, 2023 / VIP Entertainment Technologies Inc. (TSXV:VIP) (“VIP” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has begun the process to acquire a Kahnawake Gaming Commission Remote Gaming License for operations in Canada.
The Kahnawake Gaming Commission license will give VIP the ability to market and acquire new users in Canada offering its complete suite of services, including sports betting, casino, poker and esports wagering. Canada has long been a key territory for the Company, and the completion of the licensing process will grant VIP the opportunity to operate under a regulated process in its home country. Historically some of VIP’s earliest and most significant earnings were developed while operating inside of Canada. From 2016 to late 2020 in Canada, VIP had shown total dollar volume betting numbers in the three-to-five million per month range with a limited amount of paid-marketing prior to VIP listing on the TSX-V.
“VIP is pleased to have begun the process to add another license for its operations within its group of companies. The addition of the Kahnawake license allows us to offer our iGaming services to users inside of Canada, excluding Ontario, in a safe, enjoyable, and regulated manner” stated Joel Donais, CEO of VIP.
VIP announces appointment of Robert Lunde to its Board of Directors.
The company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Robert (Bob) Lunde to its board. Bob brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to its team having served in the public markets for over 40 years, starting as a floor-trader on the original Vancouver Stock Exchange in the 1982. Bob has previously been an officer and director of numerous public companies across various industries. His business acumen as well as his public market experience will serve VIP well.
The Company would also like to announce that Mr. Michael Mansfield has resigned from the Board of Directors, effective immediately. VIP would like to thank Michael for the assistance he has provided while being a board member.
Consolidation of its common shares.

The exercise or conversion price of warrants, compensation options and options, and the number of Common Shares issuable thereunder will also be proportionately adjusted upon the completion of the Consolidation.
