Drugs and Alcohol
Our stance on substance abuse is clear: It is incompatible with the health and safety of our employees, and we do not permit it. While alcohol consumption is not banned at our offices, it is important to use good judgment. Never drink in a way that impairs performance, leads to inappropriate behavior, endangers the safety of others, or violates the law. Illegal drugs are strictly prohibited in our offices and at sponsored events. If a manager has reasonable suspicion that an employee’s use of drugs or alcohol may negatively impact job performance or workplace safety, the manager may request an alcohol and/or drug screening. Reasonable suspicion can be based on objective symptoms such as the employee’s appearance, behavior, or speech.
Safe and Healthy Workplace

Any behavior that endangers the safety, health, or security of our employees, extended workforce, or visitors is strictly prohibited.

In the event of a life-threatening situation or emergency, contact your local police, fire department, or other emergency responders first, then inform your manager or the Compliance Officer.
Avoid Conflicts of Interest
When you find yourself in a situation where competing loyalties might lead you to seek a personal benefit for yourself, your friends, or your family at the expense of Sports Gaming Global Ventures, LLC or our users, you could be facing a conflict of interest. It is essential for all of us to avoid conflicts of interest and situations that may reasonably arise as such. When deciding on a course of action, consider whether it could create an incentive for you, or seem to others like it might, to benefit yourself, your friends or family, or an associated business at the expense of Sports Gaming Global Ventures, LLC. If the answer is “yes,” you should avoid that action to prevent a conflict of interest.
Environmental Responsibility
We are dedicated to operating and providing products and services in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner. We adhere to all applicable environmental laws and regulations. We strive to follow best practices and minimize our environmental impact in ways that are relevant to our business and meaningful to the communities we serve.
Community Support

Integrity of Financial Records and Public Disclosure
Our financial records are fundamental to managing our business and fulfilling our responsibilities to shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders. Maintaining the integrity of these records is crucial for complying with accounting, tax, public disclosure laws, and other regulatory requirements.
We are dedicated to maintaining accurate and complete financial records and ensuring full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory bodies, as well as those made publicly available. Each of us is responsible for recording clear, accurate, and honest information in all Company records we produce, including expense reports, financial statements, and public disclosure documents. If you have concerns about questionable accounting or audit matters, immediately contact our Compliance Offices or Audit Committee. You may submit concerns anonymously where permitted by law. It is crucial for the Company to be informed about possible accounting or audit issues so they can be promptly investigated. When in doubt, speak up. The Company does not tolerate any acts of retaliation for good faith reports of accounting or audit concerns.
Insider Trading
During business, you may come across confidential information about the Company or other publicly traded companies that is not available to the public. Do not share material nonpublic information with anyone, including coworkers (unless it is essential for Company-related business), friends, or family. Buying or selling the stock of a publicly traded company while aware of material nonpublic information or sharing such information with others who then buy or sell the stock (“tipping”), is prohibited by various laws. Even casual conversations could be considered illegal “tipping” of inside information.
Material information is any information that a reasonable investor would consider when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Examples of material information about a company include:
- Acquisitions, joint ventures, and other major transactions
- The gain or loss of a significant distributor or the renewal of a significant distribution agreement
- Development of a significant new program or product
- A significant expansion or reduction in operations
- Changes in strategic direction, such as entering new markets
- Senior personnel or management changes
- A major lawsuit

Misuse of Funds and Fraud
We are each personally responsible for safeguarding Sports Gaming Global Ventures, LLC’s assets and ensuring that Company resources are used responsibly and appropriately. Do not use Company resources for activities such as fraud, theft, embezzlement, misappropriation, money laundering, tax evasion, or any other actions that violate laws and regulations. Such activities undermine our integrity, damage our reputation, and expose both the Company and individuals involved to severe penalties. Additionally, use facilities, materials, and equipment solely for authorized purposes related to your job, and report any suspicious financial transactions or activities to your manager, our Compliance Officer, or the Audit Committee.
Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption
Sports Gaming Global Ventures, LLC is fully committed to complying with all applicable anti-corruption laws. We have a zero-tolerance policy against giving, offering, authorizing, or accepting bribes in any form. This prohibition extends to bribery of both private individuals and government officials. Such actions are not only unethical and illegal but also strictly forbidden.
The laws of the U.S. and many other countries explicitly prohibit making corrupt payments or offering bribes to government officials to secure a business advantage. Violations of these laws carry severe consequences for both the Company and any employee found in breach. The Company can also be held accountable for the actions of its business partners acting on its behalf, including agents, consultants, partners, joint ventures, and other entities with which the Company has an ownership interest. Therefore, it is crucial to choose and monitor third parties diligently and ensure they act in accordance with these standards. Never request someone to perform an action that you are prohibited from doing yourself.
Fair Competition
Sports Gaming Global Ventures, LLC is committed to free and open competition. We avoid any improper practices that might limit competition or seek competitive advantages through unethical or illegal means.
- Avoid discussing: hiring or soliciting new employees, setting prices, bidding for rights, negotiating with partners in common, or dividing up customers, suppliers, or markets with competitors.
- Focus on competition: Compete aggressively to provide the best products and services at the best prices, without aiming solely to drive competitors out of business.
Be cautious and report any of the following activities if you see or suspect them:
- Sharing our Company’s competitively sensitive information, or that of our partners or other third parties, with a competitor.
- Obtaining or attempting to obtain nonpublic information about competitors, including from new hires or candidates for employment.
- Accepting information about competitors without being certain if it is protected by a confidentiality agreement, policy, or as a trade secret.

We recognize the importance of a consistent voice when issuing statements about the Company or providing information to the public. Therefore, only authorized individuals are permitted to speak on behalf of Sports Gaming Global Ventures, LLC to media personnel, investors, stock analysts, and other members of the financial community.
As a public company, we are committed to full, fair, and timely disclosure in all reports and documents describing our business, financial results, and other public communications. Please keep the following in mind:
