/NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S. OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES/

EDMONTON, March 27, 2020 /CNW/ - eQube Gaming Limited (TSX.V:EQG.V - News) ("eQube" or the "Company") has acted swiftly to put precautions in place to manage the risk of COVID-19 to staff, the Company, contractors, the local communities, and all other stakeholders. The Company has had no reported cases of COVID-19 at any of our offices and we continue to ensure that our operations follow the latest professional guidance.

The recent announcements by the Governments whose countries we operate in that limits social gatherings to no more than 50 people, voluntary self-isolation and that only services deemed to be essential remain open, has resulted in the closure of our offices as well as the temporary closure of our customers operations.

Effective the morning of March 23, 2020 eQube temporarily laid off 85% of its Full Time Equivalents in its Nevada, Ireland and Edmonton offices. The layoff will cease when the Government(s) indicates that opening non-essential services is safe to do so.

Andrew Janko is still actively engaged as the CEO with Sandi Johnston serving as the COO.

With regards to additional operational risks, steps have already been taken to minimize them.  The Company's key management and its board of directors will meet on a weekly basis to review their effectiveness and make any adjustments as deemed necessary to minimize any potential operational disruption, while ensuring the welfare and safety of our workforce and neighbouring communities.

eQube CEO, Andrew Janko, commented: "During this difficult period, our objective is to ensure we will be a stronger company after the current pandemic subsides, by acting in the best long-term interest of all of our stakeholders."
