COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
1. Issuance. For value received, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by Golden Matrix Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), [_________________], or registered assigns (the “Holder”), is hereby granted the right to purchase, at any time until the close of business on the Expiration Date (defined below in Section 2), One Million (1,000,000), subject to adjustment upon certain events as described in greater detail below, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $6.00 per share (the “Exercise Price”).
2. Expiration of Warrant. The “Expiration Date” of this Warrant is the earlier of (a) 14/1/2023; and (b) the 30th day after the Company sends the Holder written notification (pursuant to Section 11 hereof) of the occurrence of a Ten-Day Trading Event. A “Ten-Day Trading Event” means that the Closing Sales Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Principal Market has been equal to or more than $10.00 per share (the “Required Trading Price”)(as adjusted equitably for any transaction described in Section 9 below), for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Trading Days. All rights of the Holder under this Warrant, including, but not limited to the Holder’s right to exercise this Warrant, shall expire and terminate on the Expiration Date. “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Principal Market; provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time). “Principal Market” means the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, or the NASDAQ Capital Market, the OTCQB Market, the OTCQX Market, or the OTC Pink Market, or any successor or subsequent market or exchange, which is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, based upon share volume.
3. Procedure for Exercise. Upon surrender of this Warrant with the annexed Notice of Exercise Form duly executed, together with payment in cash of the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (defined below). On any such partial exercise, provided the Holder has surrendered the original Warrant, the Company will issue and deliver to the order of the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder, for the whole number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be exercised.
4. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional Warrant Shares the Company shall issue an additional share of Common Stock to the Holder or pay the Holder the fair market value of such fractional share, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, in the Company’s sole discretion.
5. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times during the term of this Warrant there shall be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise hereof (the “Warrant Shares”). Any shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights and rights of first refusal.
6. Mutilation or Loss of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.
7. No Rights as Shareholder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.
8. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, “Affiliates”) and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise)(the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a transaction described in Section 9.bb hereof, to the extent applicable. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to up to 9.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise), but any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery of such notice. In no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation be increased to greater than 9.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). This restriction may not be waived.

9. Effect of Certain Transactions
a. Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends Etc. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are increased or decreased by a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like, the Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately so that the ratio of (i) the aggregate number of shares purchasable by exercise of this Warrant to (ii) the total number of shares outstanding immediately following such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like shall remain unchanged, and the aggregate purchase price of shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Similarly, the Required Trading Price shall be equitably adjusted to affect such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like, by the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole reasonable discretion.
b. Fundamental Transactions. If at any time the Company plans to sell all or substantially all of its assets or engage in a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company will not survive (other than a merger or consolidation with or into a wholly- or partially-owned subsidiary of the Company)(each a “Fundamental Transaction”), the Company will give the Holder of this Warrant advance written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the planned closing of the Fundamental Transaction. If this Warrant or any part thereof is not exercised by the Holder prior to the date of the closing of the Fundamental Transaction, this Warrant or any unexercised portion thereof, shall expire and terminate effective upon such event. Similarly, the Required Trading Price shall be equitably adjusted by the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole reasonable discretion to affect such Fundamental Transaction.
10. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and has been issued to the Holder for investment and not with a view to the distribution of either this Warrant or the Warrant Shares. Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act relating to such security or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the Securities Act. Each certificate for this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section.
