Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 2, 2017) - Darelle Online Solutions Inc. (TSXV: DAR)
("darelle" and/or the "Company") today provided an operational update.
On August 22, 2017, the Company announced the launch of its' mobile ticket delivery system ("MTD System"). The MTD System
utilizes smart phones and tablets instead of fixed hardware to provide supporters with a more cost-effective solution to sell and
deliver raffles and/or 50/50 tickets. The removal of the hardware cost associated with traditional Electronic Raffle Systems (ERS)
will allow many more charitable and non-profit organizations to host raffle and 50/50 draws.
Since initial launch the Company has been successfully using the MTD System in the delivery of ongoing raffles and offers the
service as a standard option for all new raffles. The MTD System can be used in conjunction with traditional offline and online
ticket sales allowing for the greatest flexibility for organizations.
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, the Company processed raffle ticket proceeds, in excess of $600,000. During the
month of September 2017, the Company launched four new raffles with combined projected proceeds in excess of $650,000. October will
see the launch of even more and with the addition of November and December launches projected ticket sales could exceed $2,000,000
during the first four months of the 2018 fiscal year.
"We are seeing organizations return for their second raffle now which is the ultimate testimonial", says Kyle Kotapski,
President of Darelle Media Inc. "The growth of the platform in the province of British Columbia has met our expectations.
Geographic expansion across Canada is in our immediate plans."
Chase the Ace Raffle Platform
The Company recently announced the development of a "Chase the Ace" raffle service offering. Chase the Ace raffles are a
combination of a traditional and a progressive 50/50 raffle, where one participant will win a percentage of the proceeds from the
primary draw, normally 20% and the opportunity to draw a card to win the progressive portion, normally 30%. If they draw the Ace of
Spades they win the additional progressive jackpot and if not, it is carried over and the same process repeated at the next draw
until the progressive pool is won. Someone wins at every draw and the progressive or Chase the Ace portion can grow exponentially
along with excitement and opportunity. Chase the Ace programs have been receiving national media coverage lately and provide a new
alternative for organizations to fundraise. Our platform has the added ability to make use of our Random Number Generator to
determine the winner in both instances to increase consumer confidence in the results
Ontario, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan have Chase the Ace policy guidelines in place with additional
provinces expected to follow suit this fall. Darelle Media has license applications pending in the provinces of Ontario, Nova
Scotia, and Saskatchewan. The province of Alberta recently issued policy guidelines with respect to online raffles and the Company
will be seeking licensing as a gaming related supplier through the Alberta Gaming & Liquor Commission.
Provincial Licensing
The Company also announced that its wholly owned subsidiary ("Darelle Media Inc.") has been licensed by the Liquor and Gaming
Authority of Manitoba ("LGA") as a gaming service provider in the province of Manitoba. The Company is working with the LGA's
Gaming Integrity Department to ensure all required certification and testing are completed.
