Newgioco Group Market Share Surges on Strong Sports Bet Transaction Growth in
First Quarter of 2018

New York, April 11, 2018.  Newgioco Group, Inc. (OTCQB:NWGI) ("Newgioco" or the
"Company") a leisure betting technology company providing regulated lottery and
gaming products and services through licensed subsidiaries based in Europe, is
pleased to report that strong first quarter transactional sales in the online
sports bet channel resulted in a surge in market share from 28th position into
the top 20 operators in Italy.

The Company continued its record non-GAAP betting turnover growth in the first
quarter of 2018 to approximately $88.1 million from $52.7 million representing
an increase of 67.15% over the first quarter of 2017.  The online sales channel
through our Multigioco subsidiary represented the largest year over year gain
from $23.97 million to approximately $45.77 million or approximately 90.93%.
Significantly, online sports bets grew to $6.56 million in Q1 2018, an increase
of 63.72% over fourth quarter 2017 sales.  The Company anticipates further
acceleration in the online sports bet channel as recent acquisitions develop
into key drivers of future revenue growth.

The Company also took steps to improve its balance sheet in the first quarter of
2018 by eliminating approximately $570,000 in debt and refinanced an additional
$500,000 with more favorable terms.  The Company expects to report its first
quarter 2018 results on or before May 15, 2018.

Alessandro Marcelli, Company President and Chief Operating Officer stated, "we
are very pleased to see continued growth and strong positive trends in monthly
sales as we scale across our core market in Italy.  The Group will continue to
invest additional resources in growing our sales channels and distributors to
further expand and capture market share throughout Europe."  Luca Pasquini, our
Chief Technology Officer also added, "we are also proud to be improving on our
innovative ELYS betting platform and plan to introduce a new generation of
machine learning and augmented analytics features incorporating our integrated
NG PAY payment gateway in the second half of 2018."

"We remain proactive towards merger and acquisition opportunities to move the
Group further towards becoming a premier international leisure betting operator
with a market leading software technology and full suite of diversified payment
related services for both online and land-based betting retailers," commented
Company Chairman and CEO, Michele Ciavarella.  "Looking forward, we are highly
optimistic in new international markets, with South America and the USA becoming
