Score Media and Gaming Inc. (TSX Venture: SCR) (“theScore” or
“the Company”), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Score
Digital Sports Ventures Inc. (“theScore Bet”) has secured market
access to operate an online casino in New Jersey via a multi-year
agreement with Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TRWH)
(“Twin River”).
theScore Bet anticipates launching its online casino product in
New Jersey in the second half of 2021, subject to securing
applicable licensing and regulatory approvals from the New Jersey
Division of Gaming Enforcement and the completion of Twin River's
pending acquisition of Bally's Atlantic City Hotel & Casino in
Atlantic City, New Jersey.
“The addition of an online casino offering to our award-winning
and truly differentiated mobile sports betting platform broadens
our reach and deepens our strong portfolio of assets,” said John

towards providing theScore’s media and betting patrons with a
completely holistic and tightly integrated media and gaming
experience.”
“We are excited to partner with theScore and to provide our
Atlantic City guests with a highly-personalized i-Gaming
experience,” says George Papanier, President and CEO of Twin River
Worldwide Holdings. “We look forward to working with them and
engaging our guests as they leverage this new, exciting
platform.”
Under the agreement, Twin River will receive a percentage of
revenue derived from theScore Bet’s online casino operations in New
Jersey, subject to certain annual minimum guaranteed amounts, an
upfront fee, and renewal fees if applicable. The agreement spans an
initial term of 10 years, extendable by a five-year renewal term at
theScore's option and a further five-year renewal term upon mutual
agreement of the parties.
Currently taking wagers in New Jersey and set to expand into
