SKY RACING WORLD TO USE AMTOTE AS ITS COMMINGLING BETTING PLATFORM FOR ACCESS TO TABCORP’S AUSTRALIAN GREYHOUND POOLS
AmTote International has entered into a breakthrough, multi-year agreement with Sky Racing World, a subsidiary of Tabcorp, Australia’s biggest wagering and entertainment company.
The deal will see AmTote become Sky Racing World’s wagering platform for facilitating international commingling into Australian racing hosts’ pools for greyhound racing initially. AmTote is a market-leading product from 1/ST TECHNOLOGY, racing’s largest and most innovative gaming technology company, and the leading wagering technology company in North America.
Sky Racing World remains the premier digital source for live video broadcasts, data and premium tipping content from the Southern Hemisphere’s leading racing markets. Furthermore, it retains predominantly exclusive rights to distribute live racing from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan (NAR) to territories across the Americas and the Caribbean.
The terms of the contract accordingly enable AmTote to extend its global wagering network for Australian racing, allowing for the commingling of tote pools to continue and flourish. This will support the growth of tote pool liquidity for bettors across these jurisdictions, who collectively wagers billions of dollars in turnover every year.
Keith Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer at 1/ST TECHNOLOGY, said: “1/ST TECHNOLOGY and AmTote are proud to expand our ongoing relationship with Sky Racing World and Tabcorp. We look forward to collectively facilitating our broader wagering network for the Australian greyhound racing industry, as well as for the benefit of North American and global wagering operators where there remains significant demand for this racing content.”
David Haslett, CEO of Sky Racing World, added: “Sky Racing World is looking forward to expanding its menu of premium international racing content in North America with the introduction of commingling on Australian greyhound racing. As a key wagering partner, 1/ST TECHNOLOGY and AmTote have supported the growth of international racing in the marketplace, while the strength of their wagering platform makes it the technology of choice to facilitate commingling into Australian pools, helping drive growth and diversified revenues for the Australian greyhound sector.”
1/ST TECHNOLOGY’s world-class products, led by AmTote, rank among the most trusted names across gaming, technology, horse and greyhound racing. AmTote’s technology and services already play host to the majority of racetrack operators in North America – and are currently in operation at Santa Anita Park, Gulfstream Park, Saratoga Race Course, Belmont Park, Aqueduct and Woodbine, alongside many others, processing and settling more than $18 billion in pari-mutuel and fixed-odds wagering around the world each year.

FA CHAI Card
FA CHAI Gaming Introduces Player Achievement System
FA CHAI Gaming has introduced its Player Achievement System, a long-term progression framework designed for online casino platforms and operator partners to drive sustained engagement, repeat play and deeper player connection.
The system moves beyond short-lived promotions by transforming everyday gameplay into structured objectives, visible progress and meaningful milestones. At the centre of this approach is the FA CHAI Card, a cross-game reward mechanism that allows player achievements to extend beyond a single game and into a broader FA CHAI Gaming ecosystem.
The Player Achievement System is more than an add-on feature—it functions as a behavioural engine designed to improve the KPIs that matter most to operators. By combining achievement-based goals, missions and progression rewards, platforms can cultivate stronger player habits and longer lifecycle value.
Sustainable retention: visible progress and long-term objectives encourage players to return consistently.
More stable engagement: achievement-driven tasks support regular activity across sessions and weeks.
Healthier wagering patterns: cumulative goals motivate play naturally, without excessive bonus dependency.
Deeper player attachment: achievements turn gameplay into a personal journey rather than isolated actions.
Stronger ecosystem loyalty: cross-game rewards reinforce attachment to the broader FA CHAI Gaming portfolio.
Many engagement tools in the market rely on short-term incentives that generate brief activity spikes followed by rapid decline. The Player Achievement System focuses instead on the drivers of repeat behavior: clarity, continuity and purpose.
Progress over promotion: players work towards ongoing achievements rather than reacting to one-time offers.
Lower friction, higher satisfaction: rewards are earned through play, reducing frustration and drop-off.
Built-in freshness: evolving goals and rotating missions help prevent engagement fatigue.
Operational efficiency: structured progression reduces the need for constant campaign rebuilding.
Designed to scale: the framework can evolve alongside platform strategy and player growth.
The Player Achievement System is designed to adapt across FA CHAI Gaming’s supported games, with initial implementation focused on slot-style gameplay. The underlying logic remains intentionally flexible, allowing future expansion into additional game experiences without restructuring the system foundation.
Player actions contribute to visible achievement progress through daily and weekly missions, turning routine gameplay into measurable advancement. As objectives are completed, players unlock new achievement tiers and long-term progression paths, creating a clear sense of growth over time.
A core pillar of the Player Achievement System is the FA CHAI Card. Serving as a cross-game reward mechanism, FA CHAI Cards allow players to convert achievements earned in one game into free game opportunities across other FA CHAI Gaming games.
This design encourages players to explore a wider range of games, experience different mechanics and creative themes and gradually become more deeply integrated into the FA CHAI Gaming ecosystem. Rather than isolating rewards within individual games, FA CHAI Cards connect progress across games, supporting long-term player journeys and cross-game engagement.
By extending progression beyond a single product, FA CHAI Cards help operators increase portfolio exposure while offering players a more cohesive and rewarding platform experience.
Optional competitive elements, such as rankings or achievement-based leaderboards, can be integrated into the system to motivate highly engaged players further. These features act as enhancers rather than requirements, preserving balance while offering additional incentives.
