Rivalry Closes Third Tranche Of Non-Brokered Private Placement
Rivalry Corp. (the “Company” or “Rivalry”) (TSXV: RVLY) (OTCQX: RVLCF) (FSE: 9VK), the leading sportsbook and iGaming operator for digital-first players, is pleased to announce that it has closed the third tranche (the “Third Closing”) of its non-brokered private placement of units of the Company (the “Units”), previously announced on November 26, 2024 (the “Offering”). Under the Third Closing, the Company issued 2,231,253 Units at a price of $0.15 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $334,688.
The Company may complete one or more additional closings, for aggregate gross proceeds (together with the proceeds raised under the initial closing, second closing and Third Closing) of up to approximately USD$3 million. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar figures are quoted in Canadian dollars.
Each Unit is comprised of one (1) subordinate voting share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Subordinate Voting Share”) and one-half of one (1/2) Subordinate Voting Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable into one Subordinate Voting Share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.25 per Warrant Share for a period of 12 months from the date hereof, subject to the Company’s right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants upon 30 days’ notice in the event that the closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares is equal to or exceeds $0.50 on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other recognized Canadian stock exchange as the Subordinate Voting Shares are primarily traded on) for a period of 10 consecutive trading days.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for corporate development and general working capital purposes.
The Subordinate Voting Shares and Warrants, and any securities issuable upon exercise thereof, are subject to a four-month statutory hold period, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
The Company has paid an aggregate of $10,501.20 in finder’s fees in connection with the Third Closing.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.
100,200 Units were issued to family members of Steven Isenberg, a director of the Company and a “related party” (within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”)) and 500,000 Units were issued to Kevin Wimer, a director of the Company and a “related party”, and such issuances are considered a “related party transaction” for the purposes of MI 61-101. Such related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities being issued to the related parties nor the consideration being paid by the related parties exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The purchasers of the Units and the extent of such participation were not finalized until shortly prior to the completion of the Offering. Accordingly, it was not possible to publicly disclose details of the nature and extent of related party participation in the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to a material change report filed at least 21 days prior to the completion of such transactions.
N1 Partners is launching a series of traffic tournaments N1 Traffic Cups – with the first one kicking off this March. Throughout 2026, partners can expect a variety of promo activities: from standalone cups to a global championship.
This marks a logical continuation of N1 Partners’ community-focused initiatives. Recently, the team summed up the results of N1 Puzzle Promo – a top-tier promotion in the iGaming industry that ran for almost the entire year of 2025. After gathering participant feedback, consolidating the best practices from the successful campaign, and enhancing it with new engaging mechanics and a fresh perspective, N1 Partners developed a brand-new concept. The traffic tournament series will provide additional opportunities for teams working with traffic and focused on consistent performance growth and scaling results.
SEO teams, get ready – the first stage will be the N1 SEO Traffic Cup, opening the new season and setting the tone for the entire 2026 tournament series. A dedicated leaderboard with a tiered level system based on performance, a new competitive format, and a focus not only on scale but also on real traffic efficiency – this spring promises to be truly competitive.
Alexa Bond, Head of Affiliates at N1 Partners, comments on the upcoming launch:
“There are plenty of races and battles in the industry, but it was important for us to create a format that stands out in both spirit and approach. We’re not just preparing another competition – we’re building a story with character, centered around strategy, structure, and true competitive drive.
2026 is a year of major sporting events: the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup. The spirit of competition and top-level achievement perfectly aligns with the DNA of N1 Partners: energy, high performance, and healthy competitive ambition are what motivate and push both us and our partners forward.”
We’ll reveal all the details very soon…

In a short space of time we have really levelled up the quality of our team, and this is already paying dividends both in terms of how we are working, but also (and most importantly) in the form of results. I am excited to continue doing what I love, which is building brilliant teams.”
