BetMakers Technology Group Ltd announced that its subsidiary, BetMakers MTS LLC, has acquired intellectual property and software from Protocol Zone Private Limited, a specialist developer of wagering software.

The intellectual property acquired from Protocol Zone includes; digital tote technology, API data feeds, proprietary trading and ratings models, amongst other tools, which will all form part of the new GTX software that BetMakers expects to release in FY25.

GTX will provide BetMakers’ international ADW and tote wagering customers with a new tote wagering platform that is expected to deliver enhanced performance and a greater user experience. GTX is expected to lower BetMakers’ cloud and infrastructure costs relating to its ADW platforms in the US and other jurisdictions of which there are currently ~20+ customers.

Importantly, GTX’s modern architecture and module-based application will allow for the deployment of sports betting, daily fantasy and iGaming products for customers looking to upgrade their existing racing tote only offerings. GTX is also expected to be integrated with BetMakers fixed odds managed trading service as well as the Racelab ProFORM betting prompts.

Protocol Zone Managing Director, Kartik Modi, has also agreed to contract to BetMakers exclusively for an extended period of 3 years acting as BetMakers’ Country manager in India where he will oversee operations in India along with exploring opportunities in the Asia region.

Karl Begg, VP of Technology at Global Tote, said: “We have been working with the team at Protocol Zone for 18 months now and have found them to be extremely efficient with a great domain knowledge across wagering and horse racing.

“We are excited to be finalising this deal as we get ready to release our new upgraded Tote, Reporting and Digital product suite into the market, called GTX. We believe that the new offering will be a game changer across our tote business and we are confident it will be well received by the broader market and our existing customer base once launched.”

Komal Modi, CEO of Protocol Zone, said: “Today marks a significant milestone in Protocol Zone’s journey as we announce the acquisition of our intellectual property and software by BetMakers. This partnership represents more than just a business transaction, it’s a testament to the innovation, dedication, and expertise our team has demonstrated in developing cutting-edge wagering technology over many years and we look forward to continuing this journey as part of BetMakers.”

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has requested the Australian internet service providers (ISPs) to block more illegal online gambling sites, after investigations found these services to be operating in breach of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.

The latest sites blocked include Crown Gold, Maxispin Casino, Rain.gg, Didibet, LuckyBet, Malina Casino and Spins of Glory.

Website blocking is one of a range of enforcement options to protect Australians against illegal online gambling. Since the ACMA made its first blocking request in November 2019, 1338 illegal gambling and affiliate websites have been blocked. Around 220 illegal services have also pulled out of the Australian market since the ACMA started enforcing new illegal online gambling rules in 2017.

Regulating the Game (RTG) has announced Evive Australia as the first innovation to take the stage at Pitch! – part of the annual RTG gathering in Sydney in March.

The event will take place at the famous Sydney Opera House on 9 March 2026, as part of the sixth edition of the international regulatory and industry conference.

Evive is an app designed to help people change how they play or seek support for gambling harms. Created by Sam DeMello, a tech specialist drawing on his lived experience of gambling harm, and supported by Jay Robinson, a safer-gambling expert with over two decades of harm-minimisation and prevention experience, Evive Australia aims to deliver personalised tools, resources and pathways for anyone seeking to reduce risk or access help.

“Evive brings together real-world experience, clinical expertise and technology to create an accessible and credible platform for change. Pitch! was conceived to spotlight exactly these kinds of innovations – ideas that challenge convention, improve safeguards and reimagine the future of regulation and industry practice,” said Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch and founder of Regulating the Game.

“Evive isn’t just another app, it’s a bridge between lived experience, behavioral science and practical support. It shows that compliance and compassion can coexist, and when they do, everyone benefits. The app gives regulators and operators confidence in credible harm reduction tools, while giving people a safe, stigma free path to change,” Robinson said.
