Services Agreement with Master Goblin Games, LLC

 

In March 2020, the Company entered into a service agreement (as amended, the “Service Agreement”), with Master Goblin Games, LLC (“Master Goblin”), an entity that is wholly-owned by our former CFO and President, Ryan Dickinson. Master Goblin leases retail locations in certain U.S. jurisdictions from which it operates tabletop game retail stores and, ancillary to such retail operations, acts as sales agent or retailer licensed by the state lottery commission of such jurisdiction to sell lottery game tickets from such retail stores. The Company acquires lottery games as requested by users from Master Goblin on a non-exclusive basis in such jurisdictions.

 

Pursuant to the Service Agreement, Master Goblin was authorized and approved by the Company to incur up to $100,000 in initial expenses per location for the commencement of operations at each location, including, without limitation, tenant improvements, furniture, inventory, fixtures and equipment, security and lease deposits, and licensing and filing fees. Similarly, pursuant to the Service Agreement, during each month of operation, Master Goblin was authorized to submit to the Company for reimbursement on-going expenses of up to $5,000 per location for actually incurred lease expenses. The initial expenses were to be submitted by Master Goblin to the Company upon Master Goblin securing a lease, and leases were only secured by Master Goblin in any location upon request of the Company. On-going expenses were submitted by Master Goblin to the Company for reimbursement on a monthly basis, subject to offset, and were recorded by the Company as an expense. To the extent Master Goblin has a positive net income in any month, exclusive of the sale of lottery games, such net income reduces or eliminates such reimbursable expenses for that month. In addition, from time to time Master Goblin might incur certain additional reimbursable expenses for the benefit of the Company. The Company paid Master Goblin an aggregate of approximately $440,000 and $800,000, including expense reimbursements under the Service Agreement and additional reimbursable expenses, during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In January of 2023, the company paid $53,000 to Master Goblin Games for settlement of outstanding obligations of $316,919 and the parties mutually agreed to terminate the business relationship.
