Betting shop punters’ experience of wagering on horseracing is being transformed via a new and stimulating Self Service Betting Terminal (SSBT) product.

Quantum Leap Solutions (QLS) and Pythia Sports have combined to provide the innovative service for content from 37 British racecourses – via Racecourse Media Group (RMG) – on Playtech terminals.

Phase 1 of the enhanced SSBT racing product delivers a range of new betting opportunities in shops, via:

  • Enhanced, data-rich racecards for the traditional racing customers
  • New derivative markets for the traditional SSBT user and new racing customers
  • These new markets include head-to-head, betting without the favourite, odd vs even, place only betting, fancied horses vs the field, and much more
  • Intuitive and easy design, making betting simple for all customers
  • Deeper data and insight providing hints and tips for the novice and expert

Phase 2 of the product is set to include in-play betting, which currently isn’t available over the counter in shops.

RMG have collaborated with Pythia Sports, who have created seamless pricing for bookmakers, and Quantum Leap Solutions (QLS), who have provided the slick design and easy-to-use navigation to provide an innovative racing product for Playtech SSBTs.

Racing from the 37 British racecourses will be displayed on the new SSBTs and available in the shops of Entain (Coral and Ladbrokes), Betfred, Boyle Sports, Paddy Power and Jennings, as well as all UK and Irish independent shops.

Nick Mills, Chief Commercial Officer of RMG, said: “Around 80% of football bets are now staked via SSBTs in betting shops, but the number drops off spectacularly when it comes to racing. This exciting new product provides markets and an experience that is much better suited to the preferences of SSBT users and will accordingly directly drive revenues and engagement with the sport.”

Yori Arami, VP, Sports Commercial at Playtech, said: “Having rolled this fantastic product out to our entire UK and Irish customer base, we are delighted with the positive feedback from customers as well as the popularity of this innovative, new betting offering. For example, the new betting markets are already delivering over 10% of business from these racetracks, with our expectation that this will increase significantly in the coming months.”

Mark Fellows, of QLS, said: “We have delivered an innovative product for the traditional horse racing customer and one which attracts non-racing SSBT customers. We have made the form study quicker and more fun by providing an interactive tool that visualises the effect of factors that determines the outcome of the day’s races. We also wanted to cut to the chase in determining ‘where is the value?’, ‘who’s the form horse?’; ‘what do the tipsters fancy?’ and ‘what does the market say?’”

Freddy Galliers, Director at Pythia Sports, said: “This has been an exciting project for Pythia Sports to work on with RMG in delivering odds to Playtech and its SSBT clients in the UK. RMG’s decision to introduce innovative betting content from all of its tracks is being well-received by SSBT users and has the potential to reshape the way horse racing is bet on in shops.”

SBC Summit Tbilisi Conference Agenda Maps Path to Growth in Eastern Europe & Central Asia

This October, SBC Summit Tbilisi 2025 returns to Georgia with an enhanced conference agenda that connects the industry to the expertise and insights of local Eastern European and Central Asian leaders, helping delegates succeed in these markets.

Co-hosted with SMH Global, a Georgia-based company at the crossroads of sports, media, and iGaming, the summit will once again take place at the Sheraton Grand Tbilisi Metechi Palace on 15–16 October.

With over 50 speakers, the two-day agenda will cover local marketing, regulatory hurdles, and talent development, offering delegates the expertise needed to build stronger operations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Commenting on this year’s conference agenda, Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC, said: “We’ve worked closely with SMH and a group of local experts who really understand the region to shape this agenda. They know how to connect with Eastern European players, why crypto has taken off in gaming here, and how sports icons influence the way fans engage. It’s their stories and expertise that make the program in Tbilisi so valuable.”

Day One will dig into the realities of entering and growing in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Panels will explore what it really takes to win over players from a marketing perspective, while others will examine how operators can navigate multi-jurisdictional compliance, balancing taxation, GDPR, and responsible gambling rules without losing efficiency.

Beyond regulation, discussions will look at how traditional casinos are reinventing themselves, from integrating digital products to keeping pace with changing player expectations. The day will conclude with a candid discussion on the rise of cryptocurrency in iGaming, asking whether it is truly a game-changer for payments and trust or a risk that requires careful management.

Day Two will turn the spotlight to sports and player engagement. Panels will unpack how athletes and sports icons influence fan communities, shape responsible play, and build brand trust, with case studies of successful collaborations between gaming brands and top stars. Discussions will then move into the rise of esports and fantasy sports, asking whether these interactive formats are the key to winning over younger, more skill-driven audiences.

Experts will also dig into gamification, from leaderboards and missions to loyalty programmes, and debate which mechanics truly keep players engaged long term. Later in the day, attention will shift to the region’s growing reputation as a talent hub, with speakers sharing how companies are recruiting and retaining top tech and product talent from Georgia, Armenia, Ukraine, and beyond. The program will close on the power of sport itself, exploring how major events like the World Cup and Olympics fuel massive betting activity, and how sponsorships are reshaping the global sports economy.

Looking ahead to this year’s summit, Sojmark added: “For me, the real value of this agenda is its practicality. Delegates will leave with ideas they can put into practice across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Just as importantly, it’s about looking ahead, thinking about the region’s future role in the industry and how businesses can start preparing for it today.”
