AllSported strikes international rightsholders deal with The Racing Partnership
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.

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
