Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 12. Commitments and Contingencies Indemnification Agreements The Company enters into indemnification provisions under its agreements with other entities in its ordinary course of business, typically with members of its Board of Directors, Officers, business partners, customers, landlords, lenders and lessors. Under these provisions, the Company generally indemnifies and holds harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party’s activities under the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Digital Securities In 2018, the Company commenced an offering (the “LDC Offering”) of 285 million revenue participation interests (the “Digital Securities”) of net sweepstakes revenue of a wholly-owned entity of the Company, LDC Crypto Universal Public Company Limited (“LDC”); in February 2022, LTRY WinTogether, Inc. (“LTRY WinTogether”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company assumed the obligations and liabilities of LDC, including, without limitation, with respect to the Digital Securities. The Digital Securities do not have any voting rights, redemption rights, or liquidation rights, nor are they tied in any way to other equity securities of any other subsidiary of the Company or of the Company nor do they otherwise hold any rights that a holder of equity securities of LTRY WinTogether or the Company may have or that a holder of traditional equity securities or capital stock may have. Rather, each of the holders of the Digital Securities has a pro rata right to receive 7% of the net sweepstakes revenue. If the net sweepstakes revenue is zero for a given period, holders of the Digital Securities are not eligible to receive any cash distributions from any sweepstakes of LTRY WinTogether for such period. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred an obligation to pay an aggregate amount of approximately $5,632 to holders of the outstanding Digital Securities. No additional obligations related to the holders of outstanding Digital Securities were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company has not satisfied the outstanding obligation for 2021 as of June 30, 2023. The Company leases office space in Spicewood, Texas (the “Spicewood Lease”), under an agreement which expires January 21, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s total rent expense for the Spicewood Lease was approximately $6,000 each quarter. The Company leases space to facilitate its business in Waco, Texas (the “Waco Lease”). On or about April 6, 2022, the Company remitted payment in the amount of $40,221, which included any offsets and rent payment obligations through March 31, 2022, and rent payment obligations without offsets under the Waco Lease through June 30, 2022. The Waco lease expires on December 31, 2024. The Company additionally leased space in Dallas, Texas (the “Dallas Lease”). On or about April 6, 2022, the Company remitted payment in the amount of $204,725 for rent payment obligations from November 11, 2016, through March 31, 2022. Upon remitting said payment the Dallas Lease terminated by agreement as of March 31, 2022. Litigation and Other Loss Contingencies On March 13, 2023, John Brier, Bin Tu and JBBT, LLC (collectively, the “TinBu Plaintiffs”) filed its original complaint against Lottery.com, Inc. f/k/a AutoLotto, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary TinBu, LLC (“TinBu”) in the Circuit Court of the 13th Judicial District in and for Hillsborough County, Florida (the “TinBu Complaint”). The Complaint alleges breach of contract(s) and misrepresentation with alleged damages in excess of $4.6 million. The parties agreed to extend the Company and its subsidiary’s deadline to respond until May 1, 2023. On May 2, 2023, the Company and its subsidiary retained local counsel who filed a Notice of Appearance on behalf of the Company and TinBu and filed a Motion for Enlargement requesting the Court to extend its deadline to file its initial response to the Complaint by an additional 30 days (the “Motion for Enlargement”). The Motion has not been set for a hearing. On May 5, 2023, Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Court Default (“Plaintiffs’ Motion for Default”), despite Company’s Motion for Enlargement. Plaintiffs’ Motion for Default has not been set for a hearing. The Company intends to oppose Plaintiffs’ Motion for Default. On May 9, 2023, Plaintiffs served Plaintiffs’ First Request for Admissions (the “RFA) to the Company. The parties have agreed to an extension of time to respond to the RFA. The Company intends to respond in a timely manner or make necessary objections to the RFA. On June 5, 2023, each of the Company and TinBu filed its original Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Complaint. On July 27, 2023, the Court granted Company’s and Tibu’s counsel of record’s request to withdraw. The Company and Tibu have until August 26, 2023 to retain new counsel and cause an appearance in the matter. Restricted Cash and Letter of Credit In the first quarter of 2022, the Company entered an agreement with a lending institution whereby the company pledged $30,000,000 as security for a line of credit. Under that agreement, $30,000,000 of company cash became restricted and remained restricted until the fourth quarter of 2022 when the bank took the $30,000,000 from the Company and extinguished the debt related to the line of credit. This was presented on the company’s Balance Sheet as a Contingent Liability from March 31, 2022 until the obligation was satisfied in October of 2022. J. Streicher Financial On July 29, 2022, the Company filed an original Verified Complaint for Breach of Contract and Specific Performance (the “Complaint”) against J. Streicher Financial, LLC (“Streicher”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”). In its Complaint, the Company alleged that Streicher breached a contract entered into by the parties on March 9, 2022, and demanded that Streicher return $16,500,000 it owes to the Company. On September 26, 2022, the Chancery Court entered an order in favor of the Company, Granting with Modifications Company’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment in the amount of $16,500,000 (the “Judgment”). On October 27, 2022, the Chancery Court further awarded the Company $397,036.94 in attorney’s fees (the “Fee Order”). On November 15, 2022, the Company initiated efforts against Streicher to seek collections on the Judgment and Fee Order. The Company subsequently engaged a collection firm to pursue Streicher as a judgment debtor on behalf of Company. Since being engaged, the collection firm has sought collections on Streicher by noticing Judgment-Debtor for Deposition by Oral Examination in Aid of Judgment and seeking post-judgment discovery, including interrogatories and requests for production. In an effort to avoid post-judgment discovery, Streicher has indicated a willingness to pay the judgment over time with interest and is attempting to negotiate a settlement and forbearance agreement with the Company. Streicher’s original deadline to produce documents and respond to the post-judgment discovery was January 16, 2023, and the Deposition was scheduled to take place on January 19, 2023. On January 20, 2023, faced with post-judgment discovery and depositions, Streicher remitted a partial payment towards the Judgment in the amount of $75,000. On February 13, 2023, Streicher made another payment towards the Judgment in the amount of $50,000 and agreed to make another payment in the amount of $75,000 on February 28, 2023. Streicher failed to remit the payment on February 28, 2023, and as a result, the Company is proceeding with the post-judgment discovery and depositions, which was scheduled for March 16, 2023, provided that Streicher did not appear at such hearing. The Company intends to fully collect on the Judgment and intends to pursue all legal and equitable means to enforce the Judgment against Streicher until the Judgment is fully satisfied.
