North American racing pool betting arrives at UK tracks through Britbet and 1/ST CONTENT

Published

north-american-racing-pool-betting-arrives-at-uk-tracks-through-britbet-and-1/st-content

1/ST CONTENT, the leading supplier of high-quality horse racing content from North and South America and an important segment of 1/ST, has revealed that its North American racing is now accessible for pool betting by UK bettors at racetracks throughout the UK, due to a significant partnership with Britbet.

Britbet serves as the on-course pool betting operator for its affiliated racecourses, delivering customer-focused pool betting services at 58 of the 59 tracks in the UK. Consequently, this agreement will provide additional pari-mutuel liquidity for 1/ST CONTENT’s extensive range of North American racetracks.

This agreement also utilizes 1/ST TECHNOLOGY’s extensive range of products and services, featuring the AmTote International brand, which is a global leader in pari-mutuel tote and ADW technologies.

Bet categories will encompass, but are not restricted to: Win, Show, Exacta, and Trifecta. These betting types can be easily aligned with well-known UK pool wagers. Additional betting options are anticipated to emerge, but the initial available types largely reflect the more favored on-course betting selections in the UK.

Britbet’s UK staff on-site, available in fixed retail roles or as roaming couriers in hospitality zones, are committed to enhancing the customer experience at racetracks. Incorporating US racing will support this initiative, providing greater content and interaction for customers.

The latest rollout introduces the top stateside races to UK racecourses – starting with this Saturday’s Pegasus World Cup, continuing with the spring’s Triple Crown events, the summer Travers Stakes at Saratoga, and concluding at the Breeders’ Cup World Championships in November. In a broader sense, 1/ST CONTENT’s vast content collection now encompasses almost 90% of all racetracks in North America, seamlessly aligning with the UK’s domestic program around 17:00 (approximately) each day, and especially relevant during winter and spring when evening racing events are significantly reduced in Britain.

Simon Fraser, SVP International 1/ST CONTENT, said: “Britbet already sells the product so effectively on-course, returning much-needed funding to the sport, and we were impressed with this racing-first model and tech-forward approach. Couple that with the enthusiasm of their customer-friendly staff to educate both seasoned and novice bettors about North American racing, and we’re confident we can build from this pools-betting keystone.

“1/ST CONTENT is always looking for new ways in which to improve the user experience and journey, for both the bettor and the operator – and we’re in the vanguard of such initiatives thanks to this transformative collaboration with Britbet. It’s no secret that international bettors want access to bigger and more diverse pools to bet into, not to mention reliable field sizes with the betting value and variety that comes from exotics. North American racing provides these new opportunities on a regular basis, and at a complementary time for more savvy British racecourse audiences who are looking for a relatable and quality product to bet on, as the domestic scene winds down each day.”

Nigel Roddis, Managing Director of Britbet, added: “This arrangement with 1/ST CONTENT allows us to make more use of the i-neda technology that drives our on-course betting terminals, delivering more content for on-course customers – even though time-zone differentials and the racing on-course will necessitate that a selective approach is taken to what will be offered. But it is part of our wider commitment at Britbet to grow pool betting across the UK, from our own on-course perspective and beyond. This collaboration builds on that, delivering new content for the customer and enhancing their on-course experience. Providing our customers with visibility of racing in other jurisdictions demonstrates the global nature of the sport, and we look forward to showcasing the key events at our partner racecourses.”
