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.

This will support the growth of tote pool liquidity for bettors across these jurisdictions, who collectively wagers billions of dollars in turnover every year.
