Victory Square portfolio company GameOn Entertainment gets conditional nod to list on the CSE under ticker 'GET"

Victory Square Technologies Inc (CSE:VST) (OTC:VSQTF) (FRA:6F6) announced Friday that its portfolio company GameOn Entertainment Technologies Inc received conditional approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) to list under the ticker symbol GET.   Founded in 2018, GameOn delivers sports and entertainment content providers access to what it calls "the world’s simplest and most accessible gamification platform." Whether its clients are TV networks, over-the-top platforms, sportsbooks or leagues, GameOn helps its partners turn their content into interactive and social experiences through mobile and TV apps.  The CSE conditional listing approval, which still requires GameOn to meet certain thresholds set by the exchange, comes after a strong year of growth for the Victory Square investee, the company said.  READ: Victory Square trumpets US expansion of portfolio telemedicine company IV Hydreight Inc Within the last 12 months, GameOn underwent an oversubscribed financing of $5.8 million; appointed industry veterans J Moses of Take-Two Interactive as Chairman, and Liz Schimel of Apple News and Carey Dillen of Boston Pizza to the board; brought on industry leaders as advisors, including former Australian soccer star Tim Cahil; hired a VP of product in Santiago Jaramillo, who was building FIFA at EA Sports and leading development of NBA Top Shot at Dapper Labs; and added Ivan Soto of Ask Media Group as engineering manager.
