Based on data from H2 Gambling Capital, we estimate that for 2014, the online gambling market by segment was: Sportsbook (42%), Casino (23%), Poker (8%), Bingo (6%) and Skills/Lotteries (21%). By 2020, Sportsbook and Casino should be ~66% of the global online market.

The online gambling market growth will be driven by various factors including: (1) The U.S. online market beyond New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware; (2) increased taxes on online gambling on a country basis; (3) increased mobile penetration; and (4) continued consolidation in the global gambling sector.

ONLINE GAMBLING IN THE U.S.

The U.S. online gambling market has been a disappointment to date, with New Jersey (NJ), Nevada and Delaware the only states to legalize Internet gaming. In NJ, Internet Gaming Win (IGW) for December 2014 came in at $10.7M (+23% m/m and +64% y/y). For the year, NJ’s IGW came in at ~$123M – driven by Borgata (36%), Caesars Interactive (27%), Tropicana (18%), Golden Nugget (9%) and the discontinued Trump operations (10%).

Internet Gross Revenue Internet Gaming Accounts

Technology – Online Gambling February 12, 2015

California AB-167. The real opportunity in the US online market lies in California where Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer recently reintroduced an online poker bill with significant changes to the so-called “bad actor” clause (which would allow for PokerStars participation) and the inclusion of horse racing tracks. In addition, the bill removed the language preventing agreements to pool players with other states. While Internet poker was first discussed in the California state legislature in 2008, there remains a lot of work to be done to get the bill passed.

Washington and Mississippi Say No to Online Poker. The Washington State online poker bill (HB 1114) which was presented to the state legislature in early January 2015, did not get enough support to move forward in the current session. Note that Washington is the only state in the U.S. where playing online

poker is actually illegal! For a third consecutive year, Mississippi’s “Lawful Internet Gaming Act” failed to gather enough support to make it into the legislature session.

INCREASING TAXES ON ONLINE GAMBLING

U.K. POC Tax. According to GBGC, several markets (U.K., Italy, Spain, France, Denmark) have begun regulating online gambling and offering domestic licences to private companies to prevent offshore leakage of tax revenues. The U.K. introduced a new bill on December 1, 2014 which brought into play a 15% Point of Consumption (POC) tax on offshore gambling operators vs the previous tax on Point of Supply (POS) where offshore operators benefitted from low tax rates in such jurisdictions as Gibraltar, Isle of Man and Malta. According to GBGC, the higher gambling taxes may increase GGR as operators have to increase margins or rake percentages to cover the higher taxes.

New EU VAT Directive. On January 1, 2015, the European Union (EU) imposed new rules regarding the application of a value-added tax (VAT) to businesses providing telecommunications, broadcasting or electronically supplied services to customers in EU Member States (another POC-type tax, with VAT’s varying by country). Online gambling had traditionally been exempt from VAT but that decision has now been left to individual markets – Germany does not provide this exemption. According to a KPMG report, the changes will not affect businesses supplying services on a business-to-business (B2B) basis. Bwin.party is one of the first publically-traded online gambling operators to report an impact from the new EU VAT directive. BWIN has warned that the new law could cost the company an extra €15M in 2015 as Germany (~25% of revs) is charging a 19% VAT on BWIN’s casino and poker revenue from the country vs a 0% VAT previously as BWIN is based in Gibraltar and the VAT was POS-based previously.

MOBILE PENETRATION

The increase in mobile penetration for online gambling has been driven by the continued expansion of high-speed wireless broadband (3G/4G) and the growth in smartphone/tablet shipments. According to a GBGC report, gross gaming revenue (GGR) from mobile devices is expected to grow from US$1B (<5% of online total) in 2006 to ~US$21B (~32% of online total) in 2020.

CONSOLIDATION CONTINUES

There were some large acquisitions in 2014, led by the GTECH/IGT (Pending), Amaya/Rational Group and Scientific Games/Bally Technologies transactions. The land-based vendors were consolidating amongst themselves (Bally/SHFL, GTECH/IGT) to gain scale and cut costs, and to move into other physical markets (Aristocrat/VGT, GCA/MGAM). Intertain Group closed two acquisitions (Mandalay Media/Vera&John) that delivered immediate scale in the Bingo and Casino markets. We expect the consolidation to continue, and for Amaya, Intertain and NYX to be active participants.

HOW TO PLAY THIS IN CANADA….

We believe investors should own AYA and NYX. Both have great management teams that have experience in doing M&A transactions. Amaya will be looking to divest of some assets to help pay down debt, and may look at a Sportsbook transaction to gain scale quickly in the largest segment of the online gambling market. NYX Gaming went public in late December 2014 with a successful IPO, has already acquired the Ongame Network assets from Amaya, and has its sights set on acquiring Amaya’s Chartwell/Cryptologic assets.

AMAYA INC. What’s Next after the PokerStars/Full Tilt Poker Acquisition?

EVENT

We are initiating coverage of Amaya with a BUY recommendation, and a DCF-based one-year target price of $50.00 per share.

BOTTOM LINE

PokerStars was Transformative – What’s Next? With some of the gambling world’s biggest brands (including PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker), Amaya has amassed the largest poker business in the world (land-based, online and mobile). We expect growth to include the leveraging of the Casino assets on the PokerStars platform, as well as the move to mobile. At the end of Q3/14, PokerStars registered user base had grown to 95M from 90M in the previous quarter – Amaya is now a customer acquisition and cross-selling of products story.

FOCUS POINTS

▪ Divestitures to help pay back debt. Amaya has announced its intentions to divest of B2B assets including Cadillac Jack, Diamond Game Enterprises (DGE) and the Chartwell/ Cryptologic software development group.

▪ What about Sportsbook? Sportsbook represents ~40% of the global online gambling market. Amaya announced it will roll out its own solution in Q1/15, ahead of schedule. What if another acquisition is in the works to accelerate its move?

▪ Blue Sky Scenario. With a growing PokerStars base, a Casino roll out and a nascent Sportsbook, we could see 2016 revs of $2B and EBITDA of $900M+.

INTRODUCTION

With some of the gambling world’s biggest brands (including PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, the European Poker Tour (EPT), PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, Latin American Poker Tour and the Asia Pacific Poker Tour), Amaya has amassed the largest poker business in the world (land-based, online and mobile). In addition, Amaya provides B2B interactive and physical gaming solutions to the regulated global gaming industry; and holds minority positions in Intertain Group (7%) and NYX Gaming (8%).

We are initiating coverage of Amaya with a BUY recommendation and a DCF-based one-year price target of $50.00 per share. On our estimates, Amaya currently trades at a C2016 EV/Sales of 3.7x and EV/EBITDA of 8.3x vs its Global Gaming comparables at an average of 2.3x and 8.2x, respectively.

INVESTMENT THESIS

Transformational Acquisition World’s Largest Poker Business

Amaya acquired the Rational Group in August 2014. PokerStars is a leading brand in online poker, which has led to the development of the world’s largest poker business (online, live tournaments/tours, poker rooms, TV, etc).

Divestitures to Pay Down Debt and Share Buyback

Amaya has announced its intentions to divest of B2B assets including Cadillac Jack (CJ), Diamond Game Enterprises (DGE) and the Chartwell/Cryptologic software development group. These could generate $600M to $800M in cash to pay down debt and support a share buyback.

Growth Includes Casino and Mobile

We expect growth to include the leveraging of the Casino assets on the PokerStars platform, as well as the move to mobile. At the end of Q3/14, PokerStars registered user base had grown to 95M from 90M in the previous quarter – Amaya is now a customer acquisition and cross-selling of products story.

What about Sportsbook?

Sportsbook represents 40% of the online gambling market. Amaya announced that it anticipates PokerStars' planned launch of sports betting will launch in Q1/15 - ahead of schedule. The sports betting product will launch within the PokerStars poker client in certain markets, and PokerStars will gradually add more markets as well as web and mobile versions throughout the year. What if another acquisition is in the works to accelerate its move into sports betting?

Strong Board Drives Compliance and Transparency

Amaya has a strong board of directors that has served it well through its recent acquisitions, and we expect the board to play a crucial roll going forward. Principles of social responsibility, transparency and good business practice are central to Amaya’s corporate approach

CATALYSTS

The following are three catalysts that could move the stock over the next 3 to 12 months.

Divestitures

As mentioned previously, the divestitures of CJ, DGE and the remaining Chartwell/Cryptologic assets could generate $600M to $800M in cash to pay down debt and support a share buyback. The strategic review of these assets is well underway and we could see some positive outcomes in the near-term.

Q4/14 Results

Amaya is set to report Q4/14 results by the end of March 2015. Guided to high end of the range. On the Q3/14 call, the Company guided to F2014 revenue of $669M to $715M and adj. EBITDA of $265M to $285M. Subsequent to that call, they guided that results were expected at the high end of the ranges.

Dual Listing

A dual listing is expected by the Fall 2015 on either the NYSE or London stock exchange. This event should help raise more capital to pay down debt or fund further M&A.

RISKS

Tax Increases in Regulated Countries

The recent tax increases in the U.K. and VAT taxes in the EU could impact the growth in online gambling if the operators decide to increase rakes or pass on the increased costs to players via alternate means. VIP rewards reductions and potential rake/fee increases in taxed areas are expected to counter up to 50% of the tax increases. Growth in business, including through recently introduced income streams such as currency conversion fees, expected to offset the remainder.

Pushback from PokerStars Customer Base

The PokerStars customer base has been very vocal on some of the early changes made by Amaya, and has forced Amaya to reverse some of the changes (introducing Casino games) or allow players the option to opt out.

Move into Sportsbook Disappoints

With Sportsbook such a major share of the online gambling market, a disappointing move into this segment may impact the stock adversely.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

PokerStars/Full Tilt Poker

For 2015, we estimate that PokerStars could generate ~$1.4B in revs and ~$600M in EBITDA. On average, the company deals 700 poker hands every second of every day with as many as 20,000 hands being played concurrently. It also runs 3,500 daily scheduled tournaments, which award more than $25 million of guaranteed prizes into the online accounts of hundreds of thousands of players each week.

Amaya Inc. February 12, 2015

Ralph Garcea, MBA, P. Eng. 416-849-5004 13 of 36

Casino

Amaya launched its Casino offering on Full Tilt Poker with table games, slots and Live Dealer. More than 30% of active poker players were playing casino games (where permitted) showing the cross-selling leverage of the strategy. In addition, 50% of Full Tilt casino players do not leave to play on other casino sites. On the PokerStars platform, table games were launched in Spain in Q3/14 achieving double-digit market share. Other casino games will be launched in Spain in 2015. According to management, the casino launches have been successful in reactivating dormant users and increasing net player deposits, with a negligible impact on poker spend. Management expects Casino customer yields to be 1.5-2.5x poker yields.

Sportsbook

Sportsbook represents 40% of the online gambling market. Amaya announced that it anticipates PokerStars' planned launch of sports betting will launch in Q1/15 - ahead of schedule. The sports betting product will launch within the PokerStars poker client in certain markets, and PokerStars will gradually add more markets as well as web and mobile versions throughout the year. What if another acquisition is in the works to accelerate its move into sports betting? From Exhibit 3 below, we see that 888, Unibet, Betsson and Betfair would all fit nicely within the Amaya fold.

Mobile

In Q3/14, mobile represented >50% of new worldwide registrations vs ~40% yoy. In the U.K., mobile represented ~66% of new registrations. The fast-paced Spin & Go application has added boost to mobile growth. We note that Casino and Sportsbook verticals respond well to a mobile offering.

COMPETITORS

In the poker market, it’s liquidity that matters most and PokerStars has the highest liquidity and tournament payouts in the world. Greater liquidity attracts more players, which translates to bigger tournaments, larger payouts and lower probability of player collusion.

BOTTOM LINE

Content is King. NYX Gaming is a digital gaming software supplier engaged in the design, development, manufacture, and distribution of digital gaming solutions for interactive, social, land-based and mobile gaming worldwide.

In addition, NYX is creating 25-50 new games annually.

FOCUS POINTS

▪ Experienced M&A Team. NYX has completed three acquisitions to date: NYX Interactive AB, Zen Entertainment, and Ongame Networks. We expect NYX to continue on the M&A trail.

INTRODUCTION

NYX Gaming is a digital gaming software supplier engaged in the design, development, manufacture, and distribution of digital gaming solutions for interactive, social and mobile gaming worldwide. With 270+ employees (including over 24 contract employees) and 100+ B2B customers, NYX has a registered office in Guernsey and principal offices in the U.S., Sweden, and Australia. With an exclusive focus on content and technology development, thus reducing potential conflicts with its customers, NYX’s platform has more than 350 proprietary, and over 550 third-party supplied, lottery, bingo, and casino products developed to address the multi-channel content and distribution strategies of its customers.

We are initiating coverage of NYX Gaming with a BUY recommendation and a DCF-based one-year price target of $7.00 per share. On our estimates, NYX currently trades at a C2016 EV/Sales of 2.7x and EV/EBITDA of 9.6x vs its Global Gaming comparables at an average of 2.3x and 8.2x, respectively.

INVESTMENT THESIS

Full Suite of Products Built on an Open Technology Platform

NYX has developed a proprietary content library of 350+ gaming titles within a portfolio of slots, bingo, lottery, poker and other casino games. Through NYX Open Gaming System (“OGS”), NYX provides access to 550+ games through its integrated third-party content suppliers. NYX’s open technology platform and partnerships with leading content providers and 30+ payment processors, provides flexibility in game content delivery, payment processing, geolocation technology, fraud prevention, affiliate management, and business analytical tools, allowing its customers to respond to market changes and select products and services that directly address their evolving needs.

Recurring Revenue Business Model

With over 90% of revs recurring in nature, NYX provides good visibility into its long term forecasts.

Blue-Chip Customer Base

NYX has 100+ customers, including Amaya, Intertain, 888, bwin.party, Mr. Green, William Hill and many more on and off-line gaming operators, state-regulated lotteries, media and entertainment firms, and land-based casinos. Most customers sign long-term deals, and the average relationship with its top ten customers is five years. NYX has a low customer concentration as its top ten customers represent only 55% of revenues and no single customer represented more than 12% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Experienced Management Team

The Company has completed two acquisitions since its inception – NYX Interactive AB and Zen Entertainment. In addition, NYX recently acquired Ongame Networks from Amaya. We expect NYX to continue doing acquisitions to supplement its growth strategy. Note that management owns ~35% of the company.

NYX Gaming Group Ltd. February 12, 2015

Ralph Garcea, MBA, P. Eng. 416-849-5004 24 of 36

CATALYSTS

Acquisition of Amaya’s B2B assets

NYX has the right of first offer for the remainder of the Chartwell/Cryptologic assets within Amaya. We expect the company to exercise this right in the H1/15.

Leveraging the Ongame Networks Acquisition

Amaya had essentially put the Ongame assets on hold by the end of Q4/13, and we believe as part of NYX the Ongame business will be revitalized.

RISKS

Social Gaming Integration

The integration of Zen Entertainment is proceeding as planned. However, any delays in leveraging the growth in social gaming could impact Zen’s profitability.

Ongame Networks’ Integration

Integrating Ongame’s European operations could take longer than expected, impacting margins.

Increased Taxation

Increasing taxes in various jurisdictions could impact the growth of online gambling.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Definitions of recommendations

BUY: The stock is attractively priced relative to the company’s fundamentals and we expect it to appreciate significantly from the current price over the next 6 to 12 months.

BUY (Speculative): The stock is attractively priced relative to the company’s fundamentals, however investment in the security carries a higher degree of risk.

HOLD: The stock is fairly valued, lacks a near term catalyst, or its execution risk is such that we expect it to trade within a narrow range of the current price in the next 6 to 12 months. The longer term fundamental value of the company may be materially higher, but certain milestones/catalysts have yet to be fully realized.

SELL: The stock is overpriced relative to the company’s fundamentals, and we expect it to decline from the current price over the next 6 to 12 months.

TENDER: We believe the offer price by the acquirer is fair and thus recommend investors tender their shares to the offer.

UNDER REVIEW: We are temporarily placing our recommendation under review until further information is disclosed.
