Bettor Gaming
The ConceptBettor Gaming Inc. is a gaming platform that integrates a proprietary, “play-‐for-‐fun”, horse racing social game
(HorseFlash) with a licensed, “play-‐for-‐cash”, real-‐money horse race wagering website (WinPlaceShow.co).
HorseFlash will introduce gamers to the sport of real LIVE horse racing in a “no stress” virtual bankroll environment, similar to playing with fake chips in free online poker rooms (Zynga Poker, PartyPoker); The game will earn revenue through in-‐app purchases and feature integrated promotions for the WinPlaceShow.co website.
WinPlaceShow.co is a web app with an industry leading Mobile-‐to-‐Desktop user experience, unlike any currently found on existing real-‐money horse wagering websites (TVG, TwinSpires, Xpressbet). Additional jackpot pools, referral bonus multipliers and “blind race replay” functions will help create defensible long-‐term competitive advantages.
The Bettor Gaming management team is made up of veteran leaders from the North American Thoroughbred racing industry. This includes the former CEO and CFO of Youbet.com, who grew online wagering from $30 million to $900 million per year; in 2009, Churchill Downs Inc. acquired Youbet.com for $126 million.

The Problem
Bettor Gaming
Horse racing represents 90% of all legal online gambling in the United States. While most people generally know what horse racing is, few are knowledgeable about specific wager types (Win, Place, Show, exactas, trifectas, pick 4’s) or the particulars of handicapping a field of horses (“picking the winners”).
“Social casino” apps (play-‐for-‐fun casino & card games) are one of the most lucrative revenue categories in both the iOS and Android app stores. The space is crowded and dominated by emulated Vegas-‐style slot apps and online poker games (with in-‐app purchases for chips); few, if any applicable, apps exist in the Horse Racing vertical.
The betting results for poker and casino games are determined by a random number generator, while the results of every horse race is determined by a LIVE man-‐and-‐beast spectacle. This demands a more sophisticated technology solution to recreate the LIVE racing experience on mobile and desktop gaming platforms.
The three major horse wagering sites (TVG, TwinSpires and Xpressbet) account for 70% of all online horse betting in the United States. None of these sites currently offer a truly viable mobile solution and instead rely heavily on their Desktop websites as the expected primary user experience.
Handicapping horses requires analysis of eye-‐straining stat sheets (see below). Reading and annotating stat lines on a mobile device is very difficult; traditionally, online horseplayers print out forms and mark them up in pen.
5
The pairing of the play-‐for-‐fun HorseFlash game with the play-‐for-‐cash WinPlaceShow.co web app will delineate Bettor Gaming from other competitors in the Horse Racing, Social Casino, and Online Gambling industries.
Revenues from in-‐app purchases within the play-‐money HorseFlash game will create a diversified revenue stream for Bettor Gaming beyond real-‐money wagering alone, and create a category-‐defining app in the wide open Horse Racing vertical of the social casino gaming category.
The Company believes there is significant opportunity to convert social casino gaming players from play-‐money HorseFlash gamers into real-‐moneyWinPlaceShow.co horseplayers.

Horse racing is a sport with 200 million racing fans worldwide and global wagering of over $85 billion per year.
Advance Deposit Wagering is a legalized form of Pari-‐Mutuel Horse Racing Wagering by which a customer sets up an account with a licensed ADW provider, pre-‐funds his account, and places wagers through the ADW into the host track’s Pari-‐Mutuel Pools, and receives the same odds and wager payouts as posted at the host track.
Total ADW wagering has grown at a CAGR of 11% for the last 10 years, and McKinsey has forecasted that at the current rates of growth, ADWs will account for 40% of Total U.S. Thoroughbred wagering by 2020.

The Competition -‐ WinPlaceShow.co
The largest ADW websites by 2013 wagering totals: Churchill Downs Inc. dba TwinSpires.com ($995 million); BetFair-‐TVG ($739 million); Xpressbet ($533 million); AmWest Entertainment ($76 million).
Cable TV racing channel, TVG, is experiencing 25% y-‐o-‐y growth in Q2 2014 wagering totals. TVG currently offers the only dedicated downloadable play-‐for-‐cash app; wagers are processed through an in-‐app web browser and not through the app store. TVG also recentlybegan offering 10 hours of free online streaming to horseplayers, with the ability to earn extra viewing hours through player wagering.
Xpressbet offers a compelling, yet incomplete, mobile solution: • Mobile website can be accessed directly from browsers, as opposed to having to
download a separate app (TVG). • The URL for the mobile site is separate from the primary xpressbet.com domain. • Mobile site lacks the ability to download important handicapping stats, and forces
players to reroute to the Desktop version in order to access stat information. • Xpressbet mobile site lacks any distinguishable attempts at social media features,
such as chat rooms, player polls, return bonuses, blind race replays, or easily viewable ‘probables’ tables.
Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) are a fast-‐growing segment of the online gambling market. In September 2014, a capital syndicate made a $41 million investment in DraftKings.com.
Popular poker brands, like Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, and Party Poker, have large usersbases and decades-‐long retention rates that date back to the early 2000’s. Many of today’s professional and casual play-‐for-‐cash poker players first learned the game of Texas Hold’em in the play-‐for-‐fun poker rooms on these brand name sites.
11
Bettor Gaming
The Competition -‐ HorseFlash
There are currently no apps available on the U.S. market that allow gamers to wager play-‐money on actual LIVE horse races. Available horse racing apps are primarily made up of utility apps for handicapping horses or completely fake racing games where players breed, train and race their own avatar horse against CPU horses in virtual races.
The size, growth and real-‐money upside potential for successful social casino games have made them a hot target for acquisition by larger companies with established brick-‐and-‐mortar casino properties (Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts) or brand-‐name slots and gambling technologies (Bally Technologies, IGT, WMS Gaming).
CASE STUDY: “Bingo Bash” Acquired by GSN for $160 Million
While Poker and Slots are the two largest social casino verticals by revenue, Bash Gaming saw a strategic opportunity in 2011 to create a social casino game that focused on the relatively ignored Bingo vertical.
The game tackled technology challenges early on by designing multiplayer technologies that could scale to millions of users, and by coding the game to an HTML5 architecture that could be modified to work on native Android and iOS apps, as well as Desktop platforms, in all major gaming and app markets around the world.
Within three years, Bingo Bash had become the largest bingo game across all international app stores and gaming portals, with an estimated 4.4 million MAUs at the time of its $160 million acquisition by GSN in February 2014.

Implementation Strategy
Through a low cost turnkey ADW partnership with AmWest Entertainment, Bettor Gaming can quickly enter the ADW market with the rapid deployment of WinPlaceShow.co.
The Company will leverage relationships with the highly-‐targeted memberships of a number of state and national Horsemen’s Associations, while Post Time Technologies will provide a database of 300,000 qualified horseplayers.
Both HorseFlash and WinPlaceShow.co will be developed by software teams already familiar with the AmWest tote board APIs and backend wagering architecture. The game will meet the cross-‐platform specifications of international iOS and Android app stores, as well as Desktop gaming portals, like Facebook and Yahoo! Games.
HorseFlash will compile an extensive database of interested horse racing fans, with key metrics related to demographics, location, user retention, engagement, spending habits and customer acquisition costs.

Company ProjectionsFunding of $545,000 (which includes $50,000 working capital) is required to build, launch and commercialize both
WinPlaceShow.co and HorseFlash over a two phase deployment.
Projected consolidated EBITDA in the fifth year of operations is $15.6 million.
The Bettor Gaming business model is highly leveraged and scalable, with projected monthly breakeven in 8 months and cumulative breakeven in 17 months.
Bettor Gaming has an implied Pre-‐Money Valuation of $4.4 million based on two Pre-‐Revenue Valuation Methodologies.
15
Bettor Gaming
ValuationThe Company has used two methodologies for the valuation of Bettor Systems, with the first methodology using a
Multiple of EBITDA to determine the Company Enterprise Value, and the second methodology using Market Comparable Transactions to determine the Company Enterprise Value.
Because Bettor Systems is a pre-‐revenue startup Company, significant discounting (risk adjustment) has been made to the respective estimated Enterprise Values for each methodology.
Based on this analysis, Management believes that the Pre-‐Money Valuation for Bettor Systems is $4,354,000.
Assumptions Used for Both Valuation Methodologies: Investor requires exit / liquidation event beginning in Year 4. Investor requires 40% IRR on their investment. Investment is $545,000.
Methodology 1 -‐ Multiple of EBITDA
Year 3 EBITDA = $5,369,000 (Source: Five Year Financial Plan). Multiple of 5X is applied to Year EBITDA to estimate Enterprise Value = $26,846,000. Risk Adjustment Rate for Pre-‐Revenue Start Up companies = 50%. Risk Adjusted Enterprise Value = $13,423,000. Post-‐Money Valuation based on 40% IRR required by Investor = $4,899,000. Pre-‐Money Valuation based on $545,000 Investment = $4,354,000.

Valuation
Methodology 2 -‐ Comparable Market Transactions
Enterprise Value based on comparable market transactions summarized below = $49,000,000. Risk Adjustment Rate for Pre-‐Revenue Start Up companies = 73%. Risk Adjusted Enterprise Value = $13,423,000. Post-‐Money Valuation based on 40% IRR required by Investor = $4,899,000. Pre-‐Money Valuation based on $545,000 Investment = $4,354,000.
