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.

In a historic move for Ukrainian sports, the Basketball Federation of Ukraine (FBU) and title sponsor GGBET UA recently hosted Media Slam in Kyiv. This inaugural open media event served as a high-level forum to analyze the regular season results of the GGBET SuperLeague and the recent performances of Ukraine’s men’s and women’s national teams.

Since becoming the league’s title sponsor in January 2026, GGBET UA has prioritized transparency and engagement. The event highlighted a significant milestone: the return of fans to stadiums despite the ongoing challenges of martial law, signaling a resilient recovery for the domestic game.

Highlights and Recognition

The “Media Slam” wasn’t just about statistics; it was a celebration of the sport’s current momentum:

MVP Honors: The regular season’s top five players were officially recognized for their outstanding contributions.
Kyiv-Basket Victory: The Ukrainian Cup winners received a formal check in honor of their championship win.
Market Discussion: Stakeholders engaged in a candid dialogue regarding the increasing competitiveness of the league.

Sergii Mishchenko, CEO of GGBET UA, commented:

“We didn’t get involved in Ukrainian basketball just to have our logo on a banner. This is a systematic approach. We see the increasing interest in basketball and want to be a part of that growth. The tougher the competition, the stronger Ukrainian basketball becomes.”

A Strategic Expansion

Basketball marks a major pillar in GGBET UA’s diversifying sports portfolio. Following high-profile partnerships with FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Polissya Zhytomyr, and the Usyk vs. Dubois 2 rematch, the brand is now cementing its status as a cornerstone of the Ukrainian basketball ecosystem.

The Road to the Trophy

S8UL’s journey through Split 1 was a testament to their growth following the 2025 season. Their path to the podium included:

League Phase Dominance: Consistent performance against seven of South Asia’s elite teams.
Semifinal Sweep: A commanding 2-0 victory over Asterisk, showcasing a roster peaking at the perfect moment.
The 5-Map Thriller: A back-and-forth Grand Final against Revenant Xspark that tested the limits of both skill and composure.

Strategic Growth and Leadership

The victory highlights the successful vision of Mithul “8bit Binks” Nayak, the driving force behind this revamped roster. Under the leadership of veteran captain Ganesh “SkRossi” Gangadhar, the team displayed evolved coordination and the ability to clutch out decisive rounds under immense pressure.

“Winning Split 1 gives us confidence, but we know the season is long,” said SkRossi. “I’m proud of how the team stayed focused in the crucial moments.”

Impact on the VCT Ecosystem

VCSA Split 1 serves as the critical pathway for South Asian teams to climb into the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT). By securing the first title of the year, S8UL not only establishes themselves as the team to beat but also positions themselves favorably for international qualification opportunities in Split 2 and beyond.
