Item 4.01

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a)

Previous Independent Accountants

VIP Play, Inc. (the “Company,” “us,” “our”) dismissed Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. (“Grassi”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective October 15, 2025. The decision to change accountants was approved by our board of directors.

The audit report of Grassi on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2025 and the related notes (“Audit Period”) did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report for each year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 contained an explanatory paragraph with respect to the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Our annual report for the Audit Period does not include an attestation report of Grassi regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by Grassi pursuant to Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that permits an emerging growth company to provide only management’s report in the annual report. Therefore, Grassi was not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2025 included in Item 9A of our Form 10-K filing.

During the Audit Period and subsequent interim period through September 30, 2025, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Grassi on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grassi, would have caused Grassi to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports.

During the Audit Period and subsequent interim period through September 30, 2025, there were the following “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K). As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, our management determined that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of the end of such period due to the existence of material weaknesses including limited segregation of duties due to the size of the accounting staff and insufficient review controls over certain complex accounting estimates. These material weaknesses have not been remediated as of the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2025. Other than described above, during the Audit Period and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2025, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company provided Grassi with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Grassi furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Letter”) stating whether or not they agree with the statements made above. A copy of the Letter is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 16.1.

(b)

New Independent Accountants

On October 15, 2025, we engaged Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP (“Frank Rimerman”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. As such, Frank Rimerman will: (i) conduct review engagements on our quarterly financial statements for the quarterly periods ending September 30 and December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2026; (ii) audit our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2026; and (iii) on an ongoing basis thereafter.

During the Audit Period and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2025, neither us nor anyone on our behalf consulted with Frank Rimerman with respect to: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to us nor oral advice was provided that Frank Rimerman concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation SK).
