(TSXV: PMKR) (“Playmaker”), the digital sports media company that delivers authentic content experiences through its portfolio of sports media and technology brands, announced today that its owned and operated US media business, Yardbarker, was named a top-10 Enterprise Media Outlet for its sports betting handicapping accuracy between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 (“Q4 2022”). Playmaker has made it a key objective to engage sports fans in newly regulating gaming markets and Yardbarker’s media properties have quickly become go-to sources for sports betting content and analysis in the US and Canada.
