SharpLink Gaming Launches Mayo Madness Charity Bracket Challenge

Company Teams with Mayo Media Network, Fantasy Cares and Scott Fish Bowl to Help the Fantasy Sports Community Do Good, While Having Fun

MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESSWIRE / March 13, 2023 / SharpLink Gaming Ltd. (NASDAQ;SBET) ("SharpLink" or the "Company"), a pioneer of targeted conversion solutions for the U.S. sports betting and iGaming industries, today announced that it has joined forces with the Mayo Media Network, Fantasy Cares and the Scott Fish Bowl to host the nation's first annual Mayo Madness Charity Bracket Challenge ("Charity Bracket Challenge") for the 2023 NCAA Basketball Tournament.

The Charity Bracket Challenge kicked off yesterday on www.LeagueSafe.com, SharpLink's popular platform, which provides safe, secure and time-saving online entry fee collection and prize payout services for season-long fantasy sports league players. The Charity Bracket Challenge gives sports fans the chance to compete with friends, family and co-workers by completing and entering their brackets in hopes of predicting the winner of each game throughout the Tournament. Created and operated by SharpLink and sponsored by the Mayo Media Network, the Bracket Challenge is completely free for fans to enter; and $4,500 in cash prizes will be awarded to top bracket finishers. In addition, free entries to the world's most famous charitable fantasy football tournament, known as the Scott Fish Bowl, will also be awarded to three lucky winners.

SharpLink will donate $1.00 for each of the first 25,000 completed bracket entries into the Charity Bracket Challenge to Fantasy Cares, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire people to bring a charitable element to their fantasy leagues and to help raise money each year through the fantasy sports community for the benefit of various 501(c)(3) charities, including Toys for Tots, Coats for Kids, National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Feeding America, among several others.

Rob Phythian, SharpLink CEO stated, "We are thrilled to be partnering with Pat Mayo, Scott Fish and the team at Fantasy Cares to leverage our collective strengths and respective platforms to help raise needed funds to support charitable agencies working to provide for those in need in communities across the nation. We are hoping that the Mayo Madness Charity Bracket Challenge becomes an annual event and results in the fantasy sports community doing good, while having a lot of fun."
