Disclaimers This presentation contains, and future oral and written statements of GBank Financial Holdings Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) and its management may contain, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and can be identified by words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “intends,” “targeted,” “continue,” “remain,” “should,” “may,” “plans,” “estimates,” “will,” “will continue,” “will remain,” variations on such words or phrases, or similar references to future occurrences or events in future periods; however, such words are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include but are not limited to: (i) projections of revenues, expenses, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, and other financial items; (ii) statements of plans, objectives, and expectations of the Company or our management or board of directors; (iii) statements of future economic performance; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (1) local, regional, national, and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on us and our customers and our assessment of that impact; (2) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, including the impact of actions taken by governmental and regulatory authorities in response to such pandemic, such as the CARES Act and the programs established thereunder, and our participation in such programs; (3) volatility and disruption in national and international financial markets; (4) government intervention in the U.S. financial system, whether through changes in the discount rate or money supply or otherwise; (5) changes in the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs; (6) changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements; (7) adverse conditions in the securities markets that lead to impairment in the value of securities in our investment portfolio; (8) inflation, deflation, changes in market interest rates, developments in the securities market, and monetary fluctuations; (9) the timely development and acceptance of new products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by customers; (10) changes in consumer spending, borrowings, and savings habits; (11) technological changes and the ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems; (12) the ability to increase market share and control expenses; (13) changes in the competitive environment among banks, bank holding companies, and other financial service providers; (14) the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, and insurance) with which we and our subsidiaries must comply; (15) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and other accounting standard setters; (16) the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments including the resolution of legal proceedings; (17) the loss of key executives or employees; (18) the economic impact of past and any future terrorist threats and attacks and any acts of war or threats thereof; (19) unexpected results of acquisitions; and (20) our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items. These and other risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and its last earnings press release could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements.

2025 U.S. COMMERCIAL GAMING $517B ESTIMATED TOTAL MARKET SIZE Three gaming ecosystems. One high-frequency money-movement opportunity. The scale becomes visible when slot coin-in and iGaming wagers are viewed alongside sports-betting handle—not only operator revenue. IMPORTANT DISTINCTION This is wagering activity—not customer deposits or GGR. It includes recycled credits and winnings wagered again. THROUGHPUT • NOT REVENUE MARKET OPPORTUNITY • TRANSACTION ACTIVITY The money-movement opportunity is materially larger than reported Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR). Sports handle is published nationally. Equivalent slot and iGaming wagering measures exist, but national totals must be derived from GGR and observed hold rates. INTERNAL ESTIMATE LAND-BASED EGM / SLOTS ≈$208B 2025 cash-in (“drop”) equivalent $37.12B GGR GGR ÷ 7.13% Nevada slot hold proxy OFFICIAL NATIONAL TOTAL LEGAL SPORTS WAGERING $167B 2025 legal betting handle $16.96B GGR 10.16% national hold • AGA reported INTERNAL ESTIMATE REGULATED iGAMING ≈$142B 2025 cash-in (“drop”) equivalent $10.74B GGR GGR ÷ 3.03% observed hold proxy Sources: AGA CY 2025; Nevada Gaming Control Board; Connecticut DCP; Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. HOW TO READ THE ESTIMATES Slot equivalent applies Nevada’s official 2025 statewide 7.13%-win rate to national commercial slot GGR. iGaming equivalent applies a 3.03% wager-weighted observed hold from Connecticut 2025 and Pennsylvania Jul–Oct 2025 regulator data to national iGaming GGR. Actual national totals may differ. THE TAKEAWAY More than $500B of annual wagering activity depends on funding, movement, settlement and redemption.
