KeyStar Corp. Receives Tennessee Sports Betting License
MIAMI, May 25, 2023 (Newswire.com) - KeyStar Corp® (OTC: KEYR) has announced that it has officially received a sports betting license to begin operating its sports wagering platform, ZenSports, in the State of Tennessee. The go-live date for ZenSports in Tennessee is set for early June.
The Tennessee Sports Wagering Advisory Council unanimously approved the decision 7-0.
ZenSports' mobile platform offers a traditional sports book where customers can bet against the house, as well as a peer-to-peer sports betting marketplace. With ZenSports' peer-to-peer marketplace, customers can create their own bets with their own odds and terms. Peer-to-peer bets can be shared with friends or via the app's mobile two-sided marketplace, right from their phone.
For now, KeyStar Corp. submitted its current sports betting license application in Tennessee just for its traditional sports book, but will be submitting an application for its peer-to-peer sports betting marketplace soon, and hopes to have that approved for operations in Tennessee by later this year.
"We are beyond thrilled to be approved for our sports betting license in Tennessee," according to KeySar CEO Mark Thomas. "The Tennessee sports betting market is one of the top 10 in the country, and the Tennessee Sports Wagering Advisory Council has been an absolute pleasure to work with these past 3+ months during our application process. This is an exciting time for both KeyStar and the sports betting community in Tennessee."
Tennessee will be the first state that ZenSports goes live in. KeyStar expects to gain early market share with its simple-to-use platform, 24/7 customer support team, instant processing of withdrawals, and robust bonus structure that other sports books don't offer.
"Initially, ZenSports will be able to gain market share with our unique product and customer experience, along with our loyalty and rewards programs," said Thomas. "After potential approval of our peer-to-peer sports betting platform later in 2023, we expect those P2P features will continue to set ZenSports apart from our competitors, and provide a unique offering to sports betting consumers in Tennessee that gives them the ability to create their own bets."
Tennessee processed $392.7M in sports betting handle and generated over $45.5M in revenue in March 2023 alone, consistently ranking Tennessee in the top 10 out of 36 states with legalized sports betting.
ZenSports is available for download in the App Store (iOS) and the ZenSports website (Android).

MeatEater Acquires Dave Smith Decoys
BOZEMAN, Mont., May 9, 2023 (Newswire.com) - MeatEater, Inc. announced today the acquisition of Dave Smith Decoys (DSD), an industry leader in ultra-realistic hunting decoys and gear.

DSD specializes in creating turkey, waterfowl, and deer decoys that blend seamlessly into the wild spaces DSD's customers explore and hunt. From life-size, incredibly detailed, full-body whitetail deer to a full-spectrum of hen and gobbler turkey poses to nearly every species and subspecies of goose that's hunted around the world, DSD is known for creating poses and finishes that flat-out work in the field. MeatEater will aim to expand the company's offerings and bring its unique products to a larger customer base.

When we had the chance to introduce even more people to this exceptional brand, we jumped at it."
"With our commitment to making ultra-effective decoys in mind, and our passion for conservation and ethical hunting, we would only agree to a partnership with a company who we feel we are aligned with in all these things. In MeatEater, we have found that partner," said Dave Smith, DSD founder.
"Maintaining the quality of our products is a top priority to all of us while simultaneously promoting hunting in a positive light to preserve our hunting heritage," added DSD co-owner Brad Cochran.
Under the leadership of Smith and DSD co-owners Cochran and Greg Hogan, DSD will continue to expand its line of premium "A.C.E. Decoys" in its Oregon-based plant as part of this new venture. "We have some great new products in the works and we're excited to work with the MeatEater team to bring these to market," said Greg Hogan, co-owner and manager of operations for DSD.
The acquisition of DSD follows last week's appointment of Jason Bergsman as CEO of MeatEater, Inc.
