A true hometown sportsbook for the Colorado consumer, PointsBet is proud to be 
the only sports betting operator to have established permanent headquarters in 
the Centennial State, with their new home base set in the "LoDo" area of 
downtown Denver. The company has stated aspirations to bolster the global 
PointsBet team with up to 200 employees in the new Denver hub, maintaining a 
focus on product innovation, development, and technology recruitment. PointsBet 
will also soon have a retail presence at Double Eagle Hotel & Casino in Cripple 
Creek, CO.  

"Launching in Colorado, the site of PointsBet's US headquarters, is an extra 
special moment for the business. This is our fifth state of operation in the US 
following our most recent launch in Illinois, and as always, we will be 
providing this passionate, sports-loving community with the fastest online 
sports betting product in the market and the most betting options for every 
NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL game," said Johnny Aitken, PointsBet USA CEO. "It is a 
great feeling to now be able to officially introduce Colorado sports bettors to 
the competitive advantages PointsBet possesses in owning our technology 
end-to-end, as well as light up our major investments in state like our fully 
exclusive deal with the Kroenke Sports and Entertainment team across the Denver 
Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and the Ball Arena in advance of the upcoming NBA 
and NHL seasons."

To help celebrate the launch, PointsBet will provide Colorado clients with a 
very special risk-free betting bundle, and multiple hometown offers. The 
risk-free bundle not only includes two $500 risk-free bets on new customer's 
first fixed odds or PointsBetting wagers, but also a "hometown discount" of up 
to $100 for local teams. This will enable PointsBet Colorado clients to not 
only try the product in a risk-free manner, but also receive credit back in 
free bets for any wagers backing Colorado-based teams that do not win. 
PointsBet will also offer a promotion specific to Colorado native and Denver 
Broncos running back, Phillip Lindsay: bet $20 on his rushing yards prop, get 
$1 in free bets for every yard he gains vs. the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, 
November 22. Finally, PointsBet is debuting the "Mile High" promotion for the 
first 1,000 Colorado clients, offering +5280 odds for the Denver Nuggets to win 
the 2020/21 NBA Title!

Earlier this year, PointsBet inked a multi-year partnership with Kroenke Sports 
& Entertainment, LLC ("KSE") making them the official and exclusive partner of 
the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association, Colorado Avalanche 
of the National Hockey League, Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse 
League, and their home venue, Ball Arena.  Likewise, Learfield IMG College, the 
media rights holder of University of Colorado Athletics, and PointsBet also 
announced a multi-year corporate sponsorship agreement that makes PointsBet a 
proud and exclusive partner of the Colorado Buffaloes. 

As the official, exclusive sports betting partner of NBC Sports, PointsBet will 
utilize the media giant's premium television and digital assets to promote the 
PointsBet brand. As part of the agreement, NBC Sports provides PointsBet with 
year-round, multi-platform media and marketing opportunities across its 
unmatched portfolio of events, including exclusive multiplatform gameday 
integrations across NBC Sports Regional Networks. PointsBet's full 
Spanish-language functionality will reach Hispanic sports fans via Telemundo 
Deportes and Telemundo broadcast stations.
