Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire - August 8, 2023 VIP Entertainment Technologies Inc. (TSXV:VIP) (OTC:VETIF)  (“VIP” or the “Company”) is pleased to report strong  growth following the granting of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) license as reported on July 20th, 2023. In less than three weeks that the Company has been operating under the KGC license total betting handle is $ 428,535, which is a 190% increase as compared to the corresponding 3-week period preceding the granting of the license. The sports book handle has surpassed expectations, given the slow time of year for sports book betting. The company has also experienced strong growth in player registrations, with an increase of 240%, when compared to the previous month. The company has also seen significant increases in the level of daily activity on its platform, with players logins having increased by over 300% during this same period. VIP is very pleased with these results, as the Company had done very limited marketing during this period.

As VIP Entertainment Technologies gears up for the busy sports season starting in September, the company is launching an array of strategic marketing campaigns. These marketing campaigns will be in concert with the reactivation of its former top affiliates and agents, a move that will significantly contribute to an anticipated further surge in both sports book and casino handle. Leveraging the power of both historic and new strategic partnerships, VIP will be able to tap into a wide network of influencers and marketers, further solidifying its market presence and reach.

In anticipation of the fall sports season, player deposits have already increased by over 300%, as compared to the previous month, reflecting strong customer appetite for the upcoming gaming offerings. 

VIP CEO, Bob Lunde, stated “I am very much looking forward to the upcoming fall betting season to see the full impact of the strategic sales and marketing relationships we have entered into. We have a great deal more work to do to fully take advantage of the opportunities we have in front of us, but I have tremendous confidence in the team at VIP and their ability to maximize those opportunities”.
