Strategic Investment

BetMakers’ technology, development capacity, data capability and reliability, together with Sportech’s international tote network, positions BetMakers as a compelling global B2B partner for:

  • expanding the BetMakers product range across its new and existing customer base;

  • existing bookmakers, large and small, seeking to expand their product offering, increase reliability and realise operational efficiencies;

  • domestic and international racing authorities wanting to bolster integrity and data capabilities, export racing content and vertically integrate wagering services;

  • assisting and guiding jurisdictions considering the introduction of fixed odds on racing for the first time; and

  • large organisations looking to enter the wagering market at scale across single jurisdictions or multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.

The acquisition of Sportech’s global tote network and Quantum tote technology is intended to accelerate BetMakers’ vision of creating a Global Racing Network featuring:

  • a ‘one stop shop’ of racing and wagering technology and data solutions allowing bookmakers and tote companies to offer racing products from all over the world;

  • a global content distribution network that allows racing rights holders to immediately monetise and export data, vision and other content internationally and at scale;

  • an integrated and global approach to integrity and data solutions that enable betting transparency, threat monitoring and international investigations; and

  • a focus on eliminating inefficiencies in distribution of racing content globally, enabling growth and strengthening racing codes in all markets.

BetMakers’ Australian experience, together with its product suite and trading services, perfectly positions it as a key partner to support and lead the reinvigoration of US racing.

We believe there are several ways to do this, including:

  • through cooperation and alignment of stakeholders, the Australian racing growth story can be used as a test case for significant opportunities for wagering and customer growth in the US;

  • our technology has the ability to streamline the US racing model while delivering revenue efficiencies and enabling growth;

  • enhance the current tote offering for both retail and digital customers through technology and infrastructure investment;

  • the introduction of fixed odds on US racing can provide an additional source of funding for US racing bodies and, based on the Australian experience, materially grow total industry revenue if properly structured to both protect existing revenues and established through appropriate commercial arrangements; and

As a debt free business with a strong cash balance, BetMakers is well positioned to identify and exploit corporate development opportunities, including investment in:

  • businesses complementary to the BetMakers global business;

  • technology and service solutions that would bring value to BetMakers’ customers and be positive revenue drivers;

  • media and other commercial rights allowing the distribution of content through BetMakers’ network of wagering customers; and

  • other strategic assets.

  • BetMakers can help strengthen integrity controls in US racing through integrated data solutions along with market and bet monitoring.
