**Veltyco Group plc** (LON:VLTY), the online marketing company for the gaming industry,
has today announced that, further to its announcement of 21 December 2017, it has
entered into an agreement to acquire a 51% interest in Varkasso Limited, a company
that has the exclusive rights to use 8Crypt, a software platform providing crypto
wallet solutions based on blockchain technology.

8Crypt has been developed by the founder and shareholder of Varkasso, with the aim
of providing end users with a broad range of services in relation to their crypto
assets from one location, from which they are able to manage, trade (buy, sell, 
exchange) and accept both traditional and crypto currencies. 8Crypt enables users
to connect their crypto wallet directly to both traditional and crypto currencies,
seamlessly providing and accepting payments from debit and credit cards and bank
transfers for traditional currencies and well-known blockchain platforms such as
Bitcoin, Ethereum and LiteCoin for crypto currencies.

Veltyco plans to incorporate 8Crypt’s crypto wallet across each of the platforms
of Veltyco’s various partners, including Veltyco’s own site Bet90.com, thereby allowing
customers access to each platform from one wallet without having to make separate
deposits on each of the individual platforms. Furthermore, once incorporated into
its partners’ platforms, the Veltyco Board believes that is will enhance the Company’s
ability to cross-sell the different platforms to its customer base.

Veltyco has agreed to acquire a 51% interest in Varkasso for a total consideration
of €300,000 (approximately £265,000) to be satisfied through the issue of 100,000
new Ordinary Shares in Veltyco (“Consideration Shares”) and a cash consideration
of €200,000 (approximately £177,000).

The Board of Veltyco believes that the acquisition is an important step towards 
optimising players experience across its partners’ platforms, allowing customers
the ability to access each platform from one wallet that also has the ability to
accept crypto currency through the use of blockchain technology.

**Issue of shares and total voting rights**

Application will be made for the admission to trading on AIM of the Consideration
Shares, with such admission expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 24 January
2018. Following admission, the share capital of the Company will comprise 74,443,659
ordinary shares and accordingly, the total number of voting rights will be 74,443,659.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation
by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, Veltcyo Group Plc under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance
and Transparency Rules.
