Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 23, 2020) -  Global Daily Fantasy Sports Inc.

The Company has added a common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") to the securities issuable upon exercise of the Subscription Receipts.

The expiry date of the Warrants may, at the Company's option, be accelerated if at any time between the date that is four months and one day following the closing date of the Financing and the expiry date of the Warrants, the common shares of the Company trade at a closing price of $0.30 or above for a period of 20 consecutive trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange or such other stock exchange where the Company's common shares are listed.

The Company is working diligently and expeditiously with its auditors and expects that it will be able to file its annual documents no later than June 15, 2020 and its first quarter documents no later than July 14, 2020.

Furthermore, the Company's directors, officers and other insiders will be subject to a trading blackout that reflects the principals described in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207, Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions, until such time as it is no longer applicable.
