XB Net partners with CrossBet for premium North American racing
Innovative Australian sportsbook operator leverages the growing retention power of North American horse racing for domestic launch
XB Net, the leading provider of premium content for US horse and greyhound racing, has announced its latest partnership with rising-star operator, CrossBet, an emerging force in Australian sports betting, to expand its international racing coverage.
The deal harnesses XB Net’s delivery of live pictures, data and betting services from a peerless network of over 50 North American tracks (approximately 90% of U.S. horse racing) enabling CrossBet to flexibly fill its programming schedule with a steady stream of rapid-cycle betting opportunities. This dynamic content is proven to drive digital “dwell” time for new and existing sports fans across the Australian operator’s proprietary and innovative mobile applications and betting interfaces.
CrossBet’s breakthrough sportsbook runs off unique data and pricing models, allowing customers to enjoy sophisticated and reactive odds, featuring competitive pricing on all sports, as evidenced by its highly-progressive international racing offering.
XB Net remains the proven pacesetter for live North American racing content, managing international rights, data, odds and live broadcast and video streaming on behalf of its growing global portfolio of partners. Channeling low-latency feeds from more than 2,500 meetings, showcasing over 25,000 races per year, North American racing is engaging more and more bettors as international operators look to provide a legitimate 24/7 for enhanced fan engagement, no matter the time of day.
Now working with many of the world’s leading fixed-odds, spread-betting and commingled wagering companies (such as Flutter Entertainment, Bet365, Codere, William Hill, Playtech and Entain) XB Net enjoys a growing geographic footprint in mature and emerging markets across the UK & Ireland, Europe, North and Central America, Africa and Australia.
Simon Fraser, Senior Vice President of International at XB Net, said: “It’s a real fillip for our diligent team to have landed this new distribution deal with CrossBet, whose racing expertise and customer care is second to none. They’re a rising star on the Australian scene, thanks to a high-class portfolio of top-quality data partnerships. I’m happy to say that XB Net and North American racing now sit neatly and seamlessly within that network. And CrossBet’s support in bringing live North American racing to a passionate and well-informed client-base will help us naturally grow responsible engagement around our bespoke betting products.
“After all, wherever you set your scene on the world stage, delivering the right content at the right time is of paramount importance. XB Net’s wide range of low-latency racing solutions and racetracks bring that flexibility for around-the-clock premium content. CrossBet now provides a category-leading racing and sports-streaming offering to their customers and we’ve delighted that US racing is already helping them to bolster and build their brand across Australian and APAC.”
Brendon Dorff, COO at CrossBet, added: “CrossBet customers have seen the added fun and value that US racing brings to their betting experience, supplying a trustworthy and regular flow of quick-fire betting opportunities. This breakout collaboration with XB Net and their agile wagering solutions lets us fill the gaps on the sporting timetable with quality entertainment that is the envy of many of our Aussie rivals.
“At CrossBet, we pride ourselves on innovation, responsible CS and professionalism. To which end, we’ve developed platforms to facilitate a seamless and secure customer experience from the log-in. Our goals and passions converge in delivering a world-class experience to our customers across all sports, with racing as our core offering. Our long-term goals are to go beyond Australia, so partnering with XB Net allows us to be ready for international expansion, catering for all markets across the globe. Thanks to progressive partnerships with the likes of XB Net, we can now provide secure access to the planet’s great sporting events, alongside the high-octane thrill of the best racing from around the world.”

At the event, the company will highlight how its product suite addresses evolving technical and partnership demands in Canada’s regulated iGaming market.
As the market moves beyond initial entry and into a phase defined by performance, scalability, and compliance, operators are re-evaluating their technology foundations.
Digicode’s Diger Suite is built to support this shift, offering a modular architecture that enables faster adaptation to regulatory changes, improved system reliability, and more efficient operations.
Aligned with the summit’s 2026 theme, “Partnerships, Performance, and Market Reality,” Digicode will demonstrate how its technology supports sustainable growth.
The Diger Suite equips operators with tools to manage complex integrations, streamline localized payment processing, and ensure compliance with responsible gaming requirements.

Operators are looking for solutions that not only meet regulatory demands but also enable them to scale efficiently and maintain control over their platforms.”
During the summit, Digicode’s team will engage with industry stakeholders on topics including AI adoption in product development, modernization of legacy systems, and the transition away from traditional SaaS and revenue-share models toward full platform ownership.
The company aims to help operators regain control of their technology stack, reduce dependency on third-party vendors, and build scalable, compliant solutions tailored to their business needs.

Internet Vikings Expands Canadian Footprint into Alberta
Internet Vikings, a licensed hosting provider for the North American iGaming and online sports betting industry, has announced that its hosting solutions are ready to launch in Alberta, Canada. Internet Vikings’ infrastructure and operational processes already align with the province’s expected requirements, meaning the company can help operators enter the Alberta market faster and with greater confidence.
The expansion comes following the release of updated hosting, infrastructure, and security requirements by the AGLC. As Alberta prepares to open its market, operators and suppliers are facing strict requirements around cybersecurity and disaster recovery.
Internet Vikings’ experience supporting regulated operators across North America positions the company to help businesses comply with these operational and regulatory requirements efficiently from day one.
Requirements include adherence to internationally recognized security standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. In addition, operators are expected to maintain disaster recovery environments, encrypted immutable backups, and perform routine recovery testing to ensure business continuity.
“We are ready to provide the infrastructure and local expertise operators need to launch and scale successfully. We are already working with operators preparing for launch and understand the urgency involved in getting compliant infrastructure deployed quickly,” said Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings.
Internet Vikings first established operations in Ontario in 2022 and is now expanding its Canadian footprint into Alberta with hosting solutions, including VMware cloud hosting, bare metal servers, bare metal GPU servers, disaster recovery, and backup solutions.
