General
2. We
note that on December 22, 2022 you acquired SportsHub. It appears that SportsHub assets were
over 200% of your assets prior to the acquisition. Tell us how you considered Rules 8-04
and 8-05 of Regulation S-X in regard to filing the financial statements and pro forma information
for the SportsHub acquisition.
Response:
The acquisition of SportsHub occurred while the Company was still a foreign private issuer. The Company
furnished a Form 6-K with the SEC on November 8, 2022, which included Exhibit 99.2 Notice of and Proxy Statement for SharpLink
Gaming Ltd. Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on December 14, 2022. Exhibit 99.2 encompasses (i) the unaudited
financial statements of SportsHub Games Network, Inc. and Subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, as Annex C, (ii)
the audited financial statements of SportsHub Games Network, Inc. and Subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2021 2020, as Annex
D, and (iii) the pro forma information from page 101 to page 112. As such, we believe the Company has addressed
Rules 8-04 and 8-05 of Regulation S-X and is in compliance with the regulations.
However,
in order to make it more convenient for the investors and shareholders to locate and access the financial statements of SportsHub Games
Network, Inc. and Subsidiaries, we have included the financial statements in the Amendment beginning on page F-52.
Please
do not hesitate to contact Tahra Wright at 212-407-4122 or Sherry Li at 212-407-4939 of Loeb & Loeb LLP with any questions or comments
regarding this letter.
Very
truly yours,
