| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include
the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant inter-company transactions
are eliminated upon consolidation. Certain items in prior periods were reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation. Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include
valuing equity securities issued in share-based payment arrangements, determining the fair value of assets acquired, allocation
of purchase price, impairment of long-lived assets, the collectability of receivables and the value of deferred taxes and related
valuation allowances. Certain estimates, including evaluating the collectability of receivables and advances, could be affected
by external conditions, including those unique to our industry and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external
factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates that could cause actual results to differ from its estimates. The
Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary. Goodwill Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not being
amortized but is reviewed at least annually for impairment. In the Company’s evaluation of goodwill impairment, it performs
a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying
amount. If the qualitative assessment is not conclusive, the Company proceeds to a two-step process to test goodwill for impairment
including comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value (including attributable goodwill). Fair value for
the Company’s reporting units is determined using an income or market approach incorporating market participant considerations
and management's assumptions on revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates and expected capital expenditures. Fair
value determinations may include both internal and third-party valuations. Unless circumstances otherwise dictate, the Company
performs its annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter. The Company performs the allocation based on its knowledge of the
market in which we operate, and our overall knowledge of the leisure betting and gaming industry. There was no goodwill impairment recorded as
a result of the last quantitative assessment in the fourth quarter of 2018. Loss Contingencies The Company may be subject to claims, suits,
government investigations, and other proceedings involving competition and antitrust, intellectual property, privacy, indirect
taxes, labor and employment, commercial disputes, content generated by its users, goods and services offered by advertisers or
publishers using our website platforms, and other matters. Certain of these matters include speculative claims for substantial
or indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has
been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is possible, and a range of the
loss can be reasonably estimated, it discloses the range of the possible loss in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates, on a monthly basis,
developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and
related ranges of possible losses disclosed and make adjustments and changes to its disclosures as appropriate. Significant judgment
is required to determine both the likelihood of there being and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters. Until the
final resolution of such matters, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be
material. Should any of the Company’s estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material
impact on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. To date, none of these types of litigation
matters, most of which are typically covered by insurance, has had a material impact on the Company’s operations or financial
condition. The Company has insured and continues to insure against most of these types of claims. Business Combinations The Company allocates the fair value of purchase
consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The
excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded
as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make
significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible
assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology, and trade names from
a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from
estimates. Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates the carrying value of
its long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value
of the assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If the
expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the
estimated fair value will be charged to earnings. Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows
of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals, and, if appropriate,
current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company does not use derivative instruments
to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including
convertible debentures and stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify
as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument
is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as
charges or credits to income. For option-based simple derivative financial
instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent
valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities
or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-11
in the third quarter of 2018, the Company has no derivative financials instruments classified as a liability at December 31, 2018. Earnings Per Share Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, "Earnings Per Share" provides for calculation of "basic"
and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income
(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per
share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity and include warrants granted and
convertible debt. When the Company incurs a net loss, the effect of the Company’s outstanding stock warrants and convertible
debt are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly,
basic and diluted net loss per share are identical for the year ended December 31, 2018. On December 20, 2017, the Company completed
a two-for-one forward stock split in the form of a stock dividend. All references made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect such forward stock split. The following
is a reconciliation of weighted average shares and a calculation of earnings per share:
,
2018 2017
Net Income (Loss) (3,046,308 ) 1,365,886
Weighted Average Basic Shares 75,887,946 74,032,631
Effect of Dilutive Securities 1,312,317
Weighted Average Diluted Shares 75,887,946 75,344,948
Earnings per share
Basic (0.04 ) 0.02
Diluted (0.04 ) 0.02 Currency translation The Company's subsidiaries operate in Europe
with a functional currency of Euro and in Canada with a functional currency of Canadian dollars. In the consolidated financial
statements, revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated
at period-end rates and equity accounts are translated at historical rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different
exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency
transactions are recognized in current operations. Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which requires revenue to
be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is
expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 (“ASC Topic 606”) supersedes the existing revenue
recognition guidance and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted
ASC Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 and has determined that the new standard does not have a material impact on the nature and timing
of revenues recognized. Revenues from sports-betting, casino, cash
and skill games, slots, bingo and horse race wagers represent the gross pay-ins (also referred to as “handle” or “turnover”)
from customers less gaming taxes and payouts to customers. Revenues are recorded when the game is closed which is representative
of the point in time at which the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. In addition, the Company receives commissions
from the sale of scratch tickets and other lottery games. Commissions are recorded when the ticket for scratch off tickets and
lottery tickets are sold. Revenues from the BPS include license fees,
training, installation, and product support services. Revenue is recognized when transfer of control to the customer has been made
and the Company’s performance obligation has been fulfilled. License fees are calculated as a percentage of each licensee’s
level of activity and are contingent upon the licensee’s usage. The license fees were recognized on an accrual basis as earned. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time acquired to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents represent short-term
investments consisting of investment-grade corporate and government obligations, carried at cost, which approximates market value.
The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company primarily places its cash with
high-credit quality financial institutions located in the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
in Canada which are insured by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation, in Italy which is insured by the Italian deposit guarantee
fund Fondo Interbancario di Tutela dei Depositi (FITD) and in Germany which is a member of the Deposit Protection Fund of the Association
of German Banks (Einlagensicherungsfonds des Bundesverbandes deutscher Banken). Gaming accounts receivable Gaming accounts receivable represent gaming
deposits made by customers to their online gaming accounts either directly by credit card, bank wire, e-wallet or other accepted
method through one of the Company’s websites or indirectly by cash collected at the cashier of a betting shop but not yet
credited to our bank accounts and subject to normal trade collection terms without discounts. The Company periodically evaluates
the collectability of its gaming accounts receivable and considers the need to record or adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates.
The Company does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company recorded bad debt expense of approximately
$6,000 and $136,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. All balances previously recorded as allowance
for doubtful accounts were written off as uncollectible. Gaming account balances Gaming account balances represent customer
balances, including winnings and deposits, that are held as credits in online gaming accounts and have not as of yet been used
or withdrawn by the customers. Customers can request payment from the Company at any time and the payment to customers can be made
through bank wire, credit card, or cash disbursement from one of our locations. Online gaming account credit balances are non-interest
bearing. Fair Value Measurements ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,
defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in
the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Observable inputs such as
quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which
little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that
a market participant would use. The carrying value of the Company's short-term
investments, prepaid expenses, accounts receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, gaming account
balance, and advances from shareholder approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The following
table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of the derivative financial instruments,
measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the
year ended December 31, 2017. Refer to this Note for accounting of early adoption of ASU 2017-11.

Adjustment due to ASU 2017-11 (12,494,727 )
Balance at December 31, 2018 $ — Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at
acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and adjustments for impairment losses. Expenditures are capitalized only when they
increase the future economic benefits embodied in an item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditures are recognized
as expenses in the statement of income as incurred. Depreciation is charged on a straight-line
basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual assets. Amortization commences from the time an asset is put
into operation. The range of the estimated useful lives is as follows:
Trademarks / names 14 years
Office equipment 5 years
Office furniture 8 1/3 years
Signs and displays 5 years Leases Leases are reviewed and classified as capital
or operating at their inception in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Accounting for Leases. For leases that contain rent escalations,
the Company records rent expense on the straight-line method. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid
is credited or charged to deferred rent account and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. All lease agreements of the Company as lessees
are accounted for as operating leases as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. Income Taxes We use the asset and liability method of accounting
for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this method, income tax expense is recognized
for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences
resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred
tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. The recently passed comprehensive tax reform
bill could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition. The Company has elected to include interest
and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if determined, as a component of income tax expense. In Italy, tax years beginning 2012 forward,
are open and subject to examination, while in Austria companies are open and subject to inspection for five years and ten years
for inspection of serious infractions. In the United States and Canada, tax years beginning 2014 forward, are subject to examination.
The Company is not currently under examination and it has not been notified of a pending examination. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the
change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources,
including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. The Company adopted FASB ASC 220-10-45, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income". ASC 220-10-45 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and unrealized gains (losses) on
available for sale marketable securities; foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in market value of future contracts
that qualify as a hedge; and negative equity adjustments. Investment in Non-Consolidated Entities Investments in non-consolidated entities are
accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company's ability to exercise
significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, except where investments have a readily determinable
fair value. When the equity method is used, investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the
Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment
are accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional
losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently
reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period
the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is
other than temporary has occurred. The Company’s investment in Banca Veneto
SPA was accounted for at cost. The Company monitors its investment for impairment annually and makes appropriate reductions in
the carrying value if it determines that an impairment charge is required based on qualitative and quantitative information. Equity investments with readily determinable
fair value, are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company’s investment in Zoompass
Holdings Inc was accounted for at fair value. These securities have readily determinable fair values and subsequent to the adoption
of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, changes in fair value are recorded to earnings. Net unrealized losses recorded to earnings related
to these securities were $75,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU
2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.
The ASU provides guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities with changes
primarily affecting equity investments and disclosure of financial instruments. Under the new guidance, equity investments with
readily determinable fair value, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, will be measured at fair value
with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance
with the previous accounting guidance. The adoption of this standard on did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02) which amends the FASB ASC and created Topic 842, "Leases." Under Topic 842,
lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provides for enhanced disclosures.
Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods, and
interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach
for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Full
retrospective application is prohibited and early adoption by public entities is permitted. The Company is currently in the process
of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock
Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes
to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The
amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning
after December 15, 2017. This Company adopted ASU 2017-09 on January 1, 2018 and has determined that the new standard does not
have a material impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11,
Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments
in Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down
round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced
on the basis of the pricing of future equity transactions. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities
that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value
measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic
480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable
financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. The amendments
in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within
those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted the ASU 2017-11 in the
third quarter of 2018. Adoption of ASU 2017-11 The Company changed its method of accounting
for all of our outstanding Debentures and Warrants through the early adoption of ASU 2017-11 during the three months ended September
30, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the warrant and conversion option derivative
liabilities to additional paid in capital on its January 1, 2018 consolidated balance sheets totaling approximately $222,915 and
recorded the cumulative effect of the adoption to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit of approximately $64,966. This resulted
to an increase in additional paid-in capital by $287,881. In addition, because of the modified retrospective adoption, the Company
recalculated the derivative liabilities for debt issued in 2018 and reduced the loss on debt issuance and change in fair value
of derivative liabilities on its consolidated statements of operations by approximately $5 million and reduced amortization of
debt discount by approximately $650,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The following table provides a reconciliation of
the warrant derivative liability, convertible debt, conversion, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit on the consolidated
balance sheet as of January 1, 2018:
Convertible Debt Derivative Liability Additional Paid-in Capital Accumulated Deficit
Balance, January 1, 2018 (Prior to adoption of ASU 2017-11 $ 1,148,107 $ 222,915 $ 14,254,582 $ (9,897,620 )
Reclassified derivative liabilities and cumulative effect of adoption — (222,915 ) 287,881 (64,966 )
Balance, January 1, 2018 (After adoption of ASU 2017-11) $ 1,148,107 $ — $ 14,542,463 $ (9,962,586 ) There are no other recently issued accounting
standards that are expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
