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.

Investment in new, no-cost services to facilitate problem gambling recovery across the state

The Arizona Department of Gaming’s Division of Problem Gambling (Division) announced today that it has awarded its first peer support and recovery services program contract to Dezerve Counseling LLC, which was selected following a competitive Request for Proposal to develop, launch, and manage the State of Arizona’s first problem gambling peer support and recovery program. The award marks a significant public investment in problem gambling recovery in Arizona, where peer support services will be provided free of charge and confidentially.

“Creating an additional pathway to recovery for Arizona community members negatively impacted by problem gambling – via the peer support and recovery services program – is exciting for our agency and the people we serve,” said Elise Mikkelsen, Director, Division of Problem Gambling. “We are proud of our track record of offering timely and effective assistance to Arizonans, and we look forward to adding peer support and recovery services to enhance the comprehensive options available through the Division of Problem Gambling.”

Each client participating in the program will be paired with a Peer Support and Recovery Specialist who has deep, lived experience with problem gambling; entered the problem gambling recovery community themself or supported a loved one doing so; and has been rigorously trained in peer support practice, including through applicable professional certifications. With first-hand, lived experience in addiction, specialists can provide a non-clinician point of view with real-time, confidential advice and support.

“We at Dezerve Counseling are honored and excited to partner with the Division of Problem Gambling to launch a dedicated peer support and recovery program for problem gambling,” said Darfetta Muhammad, Chief Administrative Officer at Dezerve Counseling. “We believe, just as the Division does, that recovery begins with a single step forward. We are proud that Dezerve Counseling can now offer that vital next step to individuals and families navigating problem gambling.”

For convenience and maximum impact, peer support will be available statewide and offered in-person, virtually, and over the phone, and will be provided in one-on-one settings as well as in group settings led by a specialist. Importantly, Arizonans may access the peer support program at any stage of their problem gambling journey – this includes individuals experiencing problem gambling and reaching out for assistance for the first time, as well as individuals already seeing a doctor or clinician. There will be no fee for participants and no requirement that the participant have an insurance plan.

To drive workforce capacity to meet the demand for problem gambling support, the program will recruit and train Peer Support and Recovery Specialists who will be ready to make an immediate impact on their clients’ recovery. This workforce component is consistent with the Division’s focus on ensuring gambling treatment programs can meet future community needs while increasing system capacity. Dezerve Counseling and the Division expect the program to launch Spring 2026.
