Elys Game Technology, Corp. has received Gaming Labs International (GLI) certification to the GLI 20 v.2.0: Standards for Kiosks and GLI-33 v1.1: Event Wagering Systems standards for the self-service betting terminal (“SSBT” or “kiosk”) operation of its Elys sports betting platform in accordance with the testing, inspection and compliance standards of the Ohio Casino Control Commission (“OCCC”). SSBT's are key to the retail or land-based sports betting market, which is a focal point of Elys' initial U.S. implementation strategy.

The retail sports betting market, outside of brick-and-mortar casino operations, is a largely under-served market which complements existing revenue sources for post-pandemic challenged businesses such as neighborhood restaurants and bars, which can offer socially interactive gaming opportunities to their patrons through licensed hosts in the state of Ohio, and where permitted in future, potentially a wide array of other hospitality establishments throughout the U.S.
