Deal could spark £1bn UK turnover boost as live in-play horse racing odds are made available to over 40 bookmakers

The world’s largest and fastest source of live horse racing data, Total Performance Data (TPD), has partnered with PA Betting Services, a global supplier of UK and US racing data, in an exciting in running distribution deal.

Under the terms of the deal, TPD’s live in running prices are now available to more than 40 bookmakers around the world. The live odds engine is fed the industry Starting Price after which the probabilities are uniquely generated by neural networks trained on velocity and GPS position data. This opens up a raft of in running betting opportunities like those enjoyed across all other major sports where live data and live prices translate to in-play betting forming over 70% of turnover.

As part of PA’s content production offer, the prices will be delivered in the same format and via the same integration as PA delivers its pre-race data. In addition, PA will apply price margin and smoothing to deliver customer ready odds. This enables the Operators to focus resources on the user interface to stop prices suspending at the off – the moment that the race has the maximum punter attention.

This is the biggest shakeup in race betting for decades and there is the chance to offer a new immersive betting experience that can draw a new audience of younger punters more who are more likely to engage with horses in full flight than with static and complex pre-race form.

The product currently focuses on the live win prices but place markets and match bets will quickly follow. An immediate innovation would be offering punters a partial cash out if their horse runs well. With TPD’s prices operators can offer ‘stake insurance’ where punters see their stake returned if their horse hits evens in running. This creates a very positive customer experience especially if their selection is beaten in the final yards.

These are just a few examples of the kind of product enrichment that this content will facilitate with the three goals of boosting turnover, margin and engagement. It is also a large revenue opportunity whereby a full uptake of the in running markets across the UK’s major operators could increase online betting turnover by 10% or £1billion.

Will Duff Gordon, CEO of Total Performance Data, said: “PA Betting Services was our natural partner given their dominance of race data integrations with bookmakers. Their long history at providing pre-race data and prices means they have well established relationships which we hope to leverage. This is another very exciting deal that makes it as easy as possible for Operators to capture more racing turnover.

Richard Duncan, Head of Business Development at PA Betting Services, said, said: “We are delighted to be working with TPD to extend the reach of their horse racing product and are pleased to be able to offer these prices after the off. We look forward to working with Operators to surface these prices as seamlessly as possible.”

Midnite Express is the first bespoke title under the pair’s July 2025 partnership and adapts mechanics from Fire Rail Express: Hold And Win.

Octoplay has launched Midnite Express, a lifetime-exclusive branded slot built for UK operator Midnite. The title is the first custom product released under the companies’ partnership, which went live in July 2025.

Midnite Express is based on the game mechanics behind Fire Rail Express: Hold And Win, which Octoplay says is among its strongest-performing titles in the US. The supplier points to the EILERS-FANTINI Online Game Performance report, where it says the game has held a top-three position in the “New Top Game Ranks – Slots” category for three consecutive months.

“Midnite Express is the first custom product we’ve built for Midnite, and it’s a meaningful step in how this partnership is developing,” says Ralitsa Georgieva, CEO at Octoplay. “A year on from our initial launch, we’re moving from portfolio integration to co-developed content built specifically for their players. Adapting the mechanics behind one of our top-performing US titles for the UK with Midnite reflects how we work with operators who want more than off-the-shelf content.”

Chelsea Pinho, Head of Casino at Midnite adds: “Octoplay has been a strong content partner since we went live together last year, and Midnite Express is the result of a collaboration grounded in shared ambition. Having a lifetime exclusive title based on proven mechanics gives us a product we can put behind with confidence.”

The launch follows a run of UK integrations for Octoplay, including a recent go-live with Bally’s Intralot, and earlier integrations with Evoke’s 888 and Mr Green brands, Virgin Bet, and LiveScore Bet. Octoplay says it is now live in 18 regulated markets, including the UK, Malta, Romania, Croatia, Sweden, Slovakia, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Greece, Spain, Finland, Georgia, Brazil, New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario.

Blask has rolled out a modular subscription model for its AI-powered iGaming analytics platform, replacing its Early Adopters pricing plans. The company said customers can now build subscriptions by selecting countries, analytics modules, add-on features and the access period.

Under the new structure, the minimum configuration starts at €247 per month, or approximately €160 per month on an annual contract, according to the company. Blask said subscriptions can cover as little as a single country.

Blask said pricing is made up of base access to the platform plus selected products and markets. Market analytics covers 135 countries across three pricing tiers, ranging from €7 to €28 per country per month. Game analytics is available in 25 countries at €5 to €20 per country per month. State and province-level data is priced at €56 per month for the United States, and €28 per month each for Canada and Australia.

The company has also opened access to its data via an API, allowing customers to integrate metrics into their own analytics systems, CRM platforms and AI tools through MCP, without working inside the Blask interface. For companies looking for one-off work, Blask said it also offers customized reports combining its data with analysis from its research team.

“Analytics is now a basic condition for survival in this market,” said Max Tesla, chief executive and co-founder of Blask. “That is why we are making it more accessible: build a plan around your specific task, start with one country and scale when you are ready. Making analytics affordable has been part of Blask’s DNA from the very beginning.”

Blask added that the pricing update follows a week of industry recognition, after it received two awards at the 2026 iGB Affiliate Awards, winning Rising Star and Innovator of the Year.
