By attending this presentation and/or reviewing the slides you agree to be bound by the following conditions. These Materials are being provided to you on a confidential basis. The release, presentation, publication or distribution of the Materials, in whole or in part, in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law or regulation and persons into whose possession this document comes should inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions.

The information contained in the Materials does not purport to be comprehensive and has not been independently verified or audited. No representation or warranty (express or implied) of any nature is given nor is any responsibility or liability of any kind accepted by Entain, the Mandated Lead Arrangers referred to in these Materials (the “MLAs”) or their respective affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees, advisers, representatives or other agents, with respect to the truthfulness, completeness or accuracy of any information, projection, representation or warranty (express or implied), omissions, errors or misstatements in this presentation, or any other written or oral statement provided. None of Entain, the MLAs or any of their respective affiliates, advisors or representatives shall have any liability whatsoever (in negligence or otherwise) for any loss howsoever arising from any use of the Materials or otherwise in connection with the Materials. Nothing contained in this presentation is intended to constitute an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity for the purposes of the prohibition on financial promotions in section 21 of the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. In making this presentation available, None of Entain, the MLAs or their respective affiliates makes any recommendation to buy, sell or otherwise deal in shares of Entain or in any other securities or investments whatsoever and you should neither rely nor act upon, directly or indirectly, any of the information contained in the Materials in respect of any such investment activity. Further, they should not be treated as giving investment, legal, accounting, regulatory, taxation or other advice. Any recipients of the Materials outside the UK should inform themselves of and observe any applicable legal or regulatory requirements in their jurisdiction, and are treated as having represented that they are able to receive the Materials without contravention of any law or regulation in the jurisdiction in which they reside or conduct business. Certain industry, market and competitive position data contained in the Materials have been obtained from various third party sources. Such third-party sources include industry publications, studies and surveys that generally state that the data contained therein have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but there is no guarantee of the accuracy or completeness of such data. While Entain believes that each of these publications, studies and surveys has been prepared by a reputable source, it has not independently verified the data contained therein. In addition, certain industry, market and competitive position data contained in the Materials have been derived from Entain’s own internal research and estimates based on the knowledge and experience of Entain’s management in the markets in which Entain and its group operate. While Entain believes that such research and estimates are reasonable and reliable, they, and their underlying methodology and assumptions, have not been verified by any independent source for accuracy or completeness and are subject to change without notice. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on any of the industry, market or competitive position data contained in the Materials. The Materials include certain financial measures that are not defined in and therefore not calculated in accordance with IFRS or generally accepted accounting principles in any other relevant jurisdiction, such as EBITDA. Because these measures are solely derived from Entain’s management accounts and estimates, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Such measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating profit or any other measure as an indicator of operating performance, or as an alternative to cash generated from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Materials include statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "plans", "goal", "target", "aim", "may", "will", "would", "could" or "should" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future and may be beyond Entain’s ability to control or predict, and future events and circumstances can cause results and developments to differ materially from those anticipated. Nothing in this presentation should be construed as a profit forecast. Forward- looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and hence may prove to be erroneous. Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations (including under the Market Abuse Regulation (596/2014), the Market Abuse Regulation as it forms part of United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, the Listing Rules, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules and the Prospectus Rules), None of Entain, the MLAs or their respective affiliates undertakes any obligation to update or revise publicly any information in the Materials including any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Materials have been prepared without reference to your particular investment objectives, financial situation, taxation position and particular needs. It is important that you view the Materials in their entirety. If you are in any doubt in relation to these matters, you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant, taxation adviser or other independent financial adviser (where applicable, as authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000). By accepting or attending the Materials or any part of them you agree to be bound by the terms of this Disclaimer. This Disclaimer or any matter or dispute arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law, and the English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any such matter. 2 Today’s Presenter Rob Wood Group CFO & Deputy CEO • 9 years with Entain • Group CFO since March 2019, previously UK Retail CFO for 6 years • Appointed Deputy CEO in March 2021 • Prior roles in Private Equity (Cerberus) and Restructuring advisory (Rothschild, KPMG) 3 Table of Contents Transaction Overview Business Overview Current Trading Update Appendix Opportunities to deliver significant stakeholder value 4 Section 1 Transaction Overview Transaction Overview . Entain PLC (“Company”) is a global online-led sports-betting and gaming group operating in high growth markets within a high growth sector . The company has delivered strong financial and operational performance against the backdrop of a challenging operating environment (H1’21 EBITDA guidance at £395-405m vs H1’20 EBITDA of £359m(1), resulting in a +11% increase using the mid-point of the guidance) ‒ This positive trajectory against the backdrop of the pandemic is expected to continue with FY2021 EBITDA guidance of £850-900m (vs. FY20 EBITDA at £843m) . On the back of this strong performance, the Company is looking to raise up to €300m of an incremental Jul-28 EUR TLB facility for liquidity and ongoing corporate development ‒ The new EUR tranche will be borrowed by Entain Holdings (Gibraltar) Limited, will rank pari passu with the existing term loans and form part of a new facility agreement together with a recently signed new £590m RCF that refinances the company’s existing RCF . Additionally, Entain is looking to refinance its existing $774m USD tranche with a new USD tranche with a maturity of Mar-27 ‒ The new USD tranche will be borrowed by Entain Holdings (Gibraltar) Limited and GVC Finance LLC, will rank pari passu with the existing term loans and form part of the same new facility as the new RCF and new EUR TLB . Leverage will remain neutral at 2.4x based on Jun-21 LTM EBITDA (post IFRS-16) of £884m(2) following the transaction . We are seeking commitments by 16th July with allocations to follow shortly thereafter Note: (1) Adjusted
