GLOBAL TOTE

Product Highlight

==> picture [486 x 152] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [684 x 357] intentionally omitted <==

The Global Tote is a pooled betting solution for wagering operators to manage risk, create and deliver unique products, whilst achieving increased margins.

The Global Tote is licensed within the UK market, the US market and is also able to be utilised throughout the Australian market, directly to licensed wagering operators. It has been operating since 2017/18, having held in excess of $100million worth of bets.

While the Global Tote was held up throughout 2018/19 due to the regulatory hurdles, these issues have now been resolved. The BetMakers plans to roll out the Global Tote on more events annually and in jurisdictions such as the US, UK and Australian markets throughout the back end of 2019 and accelerate in 2020.

Pooled racing products will be ever more important for operators as they receive set margins on these bet types and in most cases significantly higher then current fixed odds betting products. The Global Tote has the rights to create pools on more than 100,000 races annually.

pg 16

RACING BODIES

The BetMakers partners with Australia’s major Racing Bodies to calculate the ‘Official Price’ for Australian thoroughbred races.

Each Racing Body accepts and distributes the ’Official Price’ to display across race meetings throughout Australia.

The BetMakers supply the racing displays for all tracks around Australia and have recently started developing automated race day control solutions, allowing race day information to be exported and delivered in real time, such as track upgrades, scratchings, deductions and more.

International Distribution

The BetMakers has more than 50,000 races that it distributes on behalf of racing authorities.

The BetMakers role is to enhance the data that is provided by the racing authorities and distribute this to wagering operators through the BetMakers distribution network. US Racing, US Harness and US Greyhounds are all now distributed by The BetMakers into the Australian market.

The newly developed TV Widget allows operators to have a fully branded TV channel that is injected into the operators website and allows more than 1,000 live racing events each week to be viewed by their customers.

The BetMakers TV has started to be rolled out in the Australian market.
