<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">SHENZHEN, China, February 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 500.com Limited
(NYSE: WBAI) (&ldquo;500.com&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), a China-based enterprise committed to developing cryptocurrency
mining businesses, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a subsidiary of BitDeer (the &ldquo;Seller&rdquo;)
to purchase 1,923 S17 Bitcoin mining machines for a total consideration of RMB31.3 million (approximately US$4.9 million). These
mining machines are deployed and in operation in Xinjiang, with an aggregate computing power of 113 PH/s. The Company today has
paid the total consideration in full, and the Seller has transferred ownership of all the mining machines. As of today, the Company
has officially begun generating revenue from cryptocurrency mining operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On January 11, 2021, the Company announced its purchase of mining
machines with an aggregate computing power of 918 PH/s. These mining machines are expected to be deployed by the end of March 2021.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On February 2, 2021 the Company announced its purchase of 5,900
new mining machines with an aggregate computing power of 306 PH/s. These mining machines are expected to be deployed by the end
of May 2021.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As such, the Company expects to have Bitcoin mining machines
with an aggregate computing power of 1,337 PH/s by the end of the first half of 2021.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Purchase of Ethereum (ETH) Mining Machines</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">At the same time, the Company announces that it has entered
into a definitive agreement (the &ldquo;Agreement&rdquo;) to purchase 2,000 new ETH mining machines for a total consideration of
RMB195 million (approximately US$30.2 million). Pursuant to the Agreement, a total of 100 ETH mining machines are to be delivered
during May &ndash; June 2021, a total of 300 ETH mining machines are to be delivered during July &ndash; August 2021 ( 150 mining
machines per month), and the remaining 1,600 ETH mining machines are to be delivered during September &ndash; December 2021 ( 400
mining machines per month).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">These ETH mining machines purchased by the Company have an energy
consumption ratio less than 1 MH/W. These mining machines feature ASICs developed on SeDRAM, a heterogeneous, integrated embedded
DRAM platform. This ASIC utilizes hybrid bonding technology to combine ETH computing power and DRAM memory. Unlike traditional
mining machines, which separate computing from memory chips, these new ETH mining machines have better on-chip bandwidth capacity,
transmission efficiency, and mining efficiency with lower power consumption. Each mining machine has peak consumption of only 2400W,
but generates computing power of up to 2.4 GH/s.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">According to current ETH computing power estimates, these ETH
mining machines&rsquo; total computing power of 4,800 GH/s is expected to represent 1.23% of the total computing power of the entire
ETH network and is expected to yield a maximum of 330 ETH per day.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">This announcement contains translations of certain RMB amounts
into U.S. dollars (&ldquo;USD&rdquo;) at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all
translations from RMB to USD were made at the rate of RMB6.4555 to US$1.00, the noon buying rate in effect on February 19, 2021

to could be converted into USD or RMB, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.</P>
