The impact of these changes has been a catalyst for SciPlay to explore, and continue to engage with, traditional media, expanded relationships with social media influencers and other innovative marketing solutions.

if any of these providers were to increase their fees, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition would suffer. Additionally, our SciPlay business would be harmed if:

•these platform providers discontinue or limit our access to their platforms; 

•governments or private parties, such as Internet providers, impose bandwidth restrictions or increase charges or restrict or prohibit access to those platforms;

•these platforms decline in popularity;

•these platforms modify their current discovery mechanisms, communication channels available to developers, respective terms of service or other policies, including fees; 

•these platforms impose restrictions or make it more difficult for players to buy coins, chips and cards; or

If our platform providers were to develop competitive offerings, either on their own or in cooperation with one or more competitors, our growth prospects could be negatively impacted. If our platform providers do not perform their obligations in accordance with our platform agreements, we could be adversely impacted.

Circumstances such as platform software updates, platform system changes or general outages may impair our players’ ability to access their previously acquired coins, chips and cards and purchase additional coins, chips and cards. We attempt to work with our internal publishing and developer partners to resolve such events timely. However, if such events recur on a prolonged basis or other similar issues arise that impact players’ ability to download our games, access social features or purchase coins, chips and cards,
