Dear Obie:

It is my sincere pleasure, on behalf of the entire Board of Directors, to invite you to become a Director of SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (“SharpLink” or the “Company”), effective February 14, 2024. As a member of the Board, we believe your notable experience and expertise will add an important perspective to the Board’s operations.

Base Board Compensation	In accordance with SharpLink’s Director Compensation Plan, you will receive an annual retainer of $30,000 paid in equal quarterly amounts of $7,500 at the end of each quarter for which you have provided service. Since this fee will not be subject to ordinary withholdings, you will be entirely responsible for the accounting and payment of any taxes that may be due as a result of this income to you.
Committee(s) Compensation	You have also been recommended and Board approved to serve as Chairman of the Compensation Committee and as a member of Audit Committee.  For your service on the Committees, you will receive additional annual cash compensation of $15,000, paid in equal quarterly amounts of $3,250 at the end of each quarter for which you have provided service.

Change of Control	The RSU Grant shall accelerate and vest in full upon a sale event resulting in a change of control, as further defined in our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan.
Reimbursed Expenses	You will be reimbursed for normal out of pocket travel expenses incurred by you in your service as a Director, based upon an invoice submitted by you to the Company in a timely fashion.
Confidentiality	Execution of the attached Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement shall also form the basis of your agreement to join the Company’s Board of Directors.
Term	In accordance with SharpLink’s Certificate of Incorporation, you shall stand for re-election at each annual meeting of shareholders and shall serve until your successor is duly elected and qualified or until your earlier death, resignation or removal.
