The expert horse racing trading solution AllSported has signed an agreement with horse racing rightsholders, The Racing Partnership, allowing the provider to carry data for the UK and South African horse racing content on its platform on behalf of licensed betting operators.

A subsequent integration with the Press Association means AllSported’s partners will also be able to distribute PA’s race day data to their clients. This combined with Racing Post content also synergistically provides a continuity in the product between all these countries.

Additionally, the access to these tracks will naturally generate greater turnover for the rightsholders by virtue of AllSported extending the trading window with more efficient pricing while front end content engages customers.

This marks an important step in AllSported’s ongoing strategy to take racing to a wider audience, enabling international bookmakers to access a higher quality, data-driven product without having to complete multiple integrations, and pay unattractive rates, while ensuring more money comes back to domestic racing.

Alan Casey, CEO of AllSported, said: “This is a huge step for us as we continue to make racing available to a wider audience, with an official product that contributes back into racing in the respective territories.

“The best path to success for racing is an engaging product for customers with competitive pricing. This benefits customers and operators, while also returning revenue to rightsholders so they can continue with their efforts to grow the sport. Of course, this serves to improve the final product as well.

“We’re deeply excited to work with The racing Partnership and look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship as we change the face of horse racing for the better.”

Mark Kingston, Director of Media Technology and Production at The Racing Partnership, said: “We’re delighted to have entered into this licence agreement with AllSported. We’ve been extremely impressed by the passion, vision and integrity as well as the attention to detail that they have shown in our dealings with them.

We look forward to a long and successful partnership as both out businesses continue to grow.”

Formerly a three-way joint venture between Racing Post, Banach and TXODDS, AllSported’s customers can still expect the Racing Post plug-in as standard with the AllSported package, allowing them to offer an immediate tier-one content offering to bettors.

The disruptive business’ pricing also allows customers to extend their trading windows, with speed of updates allowing them to ensure it’s positive EV turnover they’re generating in this extended window.

Backed by TXODDS and still delivering Racing Post content to customers, AllSported will continue to provide market-leading content, data, and odds through a single platform integration. The TXODDS horse racing product which AllSported is built on top of already is trusted by many of the Tier 1 operators in the UK.

TXODDS has a proven reputation as the industry’s number one provider of real-time aggregated sporting odds. It brings vast integration experience, providing multi-jurisdiction pre-race odds and low-latency in-play odds through an advanced Push API.

With the Racing Post plug-in also standard with the AllSported package, customers can offer an immediate tier-one content offering to bettors.

“I had such a great time at the PartyPoker Tour Birmingham. The atmosphere, the people and the passion for the game were incredible. I’m really excited to be joining the PartyPoker team for the rest of the year, getting involved at the live events, meeting players and seeing where the cards take me,” Bellew said.

PartyPoker said Bellew is scheduled to attend each remaining UK stop on the 2026 PartyPoker Tour: London in July, Glasgow in August, Cork in November, and London in December. The operator also referenced a series of exclusive online events running alongside the live calendar.

Arizona regulator orders five operators to stop alleged illegal gambling activity

Cease-and-desist letters cite alleged felonies and underage access tied to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator.

The Arizona Department of Gaming said it has issued cease-and-desist orders to five online platforms—BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator—after investigations that the Department says involved alleged illegal gambling activity and underage access in Arizona.

In its announcement, the Department said each enforcement action alleges conduct giving rise to three felonies under Arizona law: promotion of gambling, illegal control of an enterprise, and money laundering. The agency cited Arizona’s prohibition on gambling unless specifically authorized (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Tit. 13, Ch. 33) and said the legal gambling age in the state is 21.

“Arizona is taking decisive action against illegal gambling operators that put Arizonans at risk,” said Jackie Johnson, Department Director. “Our top priority is protecting Arizonans and I’m grateful for the efforts of our intelligence unit led by Chief Law Enforcement Officer Doug Jensen to do just that. Through these cease-and-desist orders we are putting operators on notice: their conduct runs contrary to Arizona law and they must stop promoting illegal gambling.”

The Department’s letters describe different alleged violations by operator. For BetOpenly, the Department said peer-to-peer gambling rules prohibit third-party benefit, and alleged the platform benefited via a commission structure while enabling event wagering and daily fantasy sports contests without the required state licenses, including availability to underage Arizonans. For Bookmaker, the Department said its investigation found wagering on horse racing, casino games, and sports betting without an event wagering license or an advanced deposit wagering provider license, adding that online casino games are not legal in Arizona.

For Club WPT Online Poker, the Department alleged the platform enabled individuals under 21 in Arizona to enter pay-to-play online poker tournaments for prizes while using deceptive “no purchase necessary” language; the Department said online poker is illegal in Arizona. For Kutt Inc., the Department said Arizona “social” gambling prohibits third-party benefit and directed the operator to stop allowing Arizona users to deposit money and wager on sports, politics, pop culture, and casino-style games. For Raffle Creator, the Department said the operator did not meet requirements that allow Arizona nonprofits to conduct lawful raffles and alleged it allowed people under 21 to purchase tickets for prize chances.

The Department said the notified entities are directed to immediately stop all gambling operations and activities in Arizona “whether through mobile applications, online, or otherwise,” and to cease any future illegal gambling in the state. It added that future actions may include criminal charges or civil action against entities, principals, and employees, and that operators “may be subject to a potential award of restitution” and forfeiture of monies acquired due to the alleged conduct.
