Intema announces the resumption of trading in its securities
Intema Solutions Inc. is pleased to announce that its securities will resume trading at the opening of the markets on Monday, November 22, 2021.
“We are excited to have our stock trading again and to pursue our growth plans in the rapidly growing esports and iGaming sectors,” said Laurent Benezra, President and CEO of Intema. “In the coming weeks, we will pursue our efforts to finalize the acquisition of Livestream Gaming Ltd. (“Livestream”), owner of LOOT.BET, and meet the conditions for approval of the transaction, including, but not limited to, obtaining a gaming license from the Isle of Man and filing the required documentation with the regulatory authorities.”
“Since entering the esports and iGaming sectors in early 2021, we have completed the acquisitions of the social and esports platform HypeX.gg, the B2B and B2C esports-related product and service provider The SMACK.gg, and the Team BH esports team, which are all part of the ecosystem we are building. We believe the portfolio of products and services we have cultivated will complement the LOOT.BET online gaming platform and website once the acquisition of Livestream is complete. We have also enhanced the quality and expertise of our management team with the addition of Scott Meyers as CFO, and of our board of directors with the addition of Art Manteris, Marc Brassard and Philip Nolan, all of whom have made solid contributions to our ongoing projects.”
“Once the Livestream transaction is finalized and the final tranche of our financing of up to $15 million financing is in place, Intema will have the tools to pursue the next phase of its global expansion in the esports and iGaming sectors,” concluded Mr. Benezra.

The Bonus Shares will be subject to restrictions on transfer for a period of four months from issuance.
A full description of the Amendment of By-laws, the Debt Settlement and the Employment Agreement are set out in the Corporation’s management information circular which will be filed on SEDAR in connection with an Annual and Special Meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation to be held in December 2021 (date to be confirmed) (the “Annual Meeting”).

High Roller Technologies, operator of the premium online casino brands High Roller and Fruta, announced the submission of its Internet Gaming Operator license application in Ontario, Canada, targeting the launch of its flagship brand HighRoller.com in the second half of 2025.
“The submission of our licensing application to access Ontario’s regulated online gambling market is an important milestone in our Company’s journey. Once our application is approved, we anticipate that we will have the opportunity to launch our online casino product into the market later this year,” said Ben Clemes, Chief Executive Officer at High Roller.
Ontario is one of the largest regulated online gambling markets in the world as measured by gross gaming revenue. In 2024, regulated online gambling operators within the province generated approximately $2.3B in gross gaming revenue, and growth continues to be recorded in the first half of 2025. Recently, the province of Alberta passed enabling legislation to establish a regulatory framework for online gambling. Once available, the Company also intends to pursue licensure in Alberta to expand its regulated market footprint in Canada.
“Ontario is missing an elegant brand like High Roller. We’re excited to roll out the red carpet for our new customers, and we’re looking forward to showcasing our tremendous product,” said Clemes.
