US OPPORTUNITY UPDATE

BetMakers continues to make strong progress on its US growth strategy, reaching a breakthrough milestone in August with the approval of fixed odds betting on horse racing in New Jersey.

NEW JERSEY FIXED ODDS RACING BILL

  • On 6 August 2021, the New Jersey Governor signed a bill to authorise fixed odds betting on horse racing in the state of New Jersey.

  • BetMakers has exclusive arrangements with Darby Development LLC., the operator of Monmouth Park racetrack, and the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen Association (together " NJ Partners ") to deliver and manage Fixed Odds thoroughbred horse racing into New Jersey. These arrangements mean that any wagering operator who wishes to offer fixed odds on the NJ Partners' thoroughbred racing must first enter into a commercial agreement with BetMakers.

June 2018 First legal sports bets in the US (outside of Nevada) are taken in New Jersey.

August 2021

30 US States plus the District of Columbia have legalised sports betting or introduced legislation that will allow for legal sports betting in the near future.

NEW JERSEY SPORTS BETTING TURNOVER SINCE LAUNCH

(Cumulative, $USD)

PUSHING IN OTHER STATES

  • BetMakers believes that, once the potential of fixed odds betting on racing is shown in New Jersey, other states will quickly follow (as has been the case with the legalisation of sports betting across the US).

CONTENT DISTRIBUTION OPPORTUNITIES

  • BetMakers is currently working with its existing rights partners (and a number of prospective partners) on commercial arrangements that would see BetMakers distribute fixed odds betting on interstate and international racing to wagering operators in New Jersey.
