  licences
• Trading and Managed Services: A fully outsourced risk and trading solution that delivers a
  complete and customisable racebook with fixed odds, managed trading, pari-mutuel features
  including connection to Global Tote(s), supporting sportsbooks on up to 6,000 races per
  week
• Editorial, Content and Tipping Hub: An immersive experience with content to support all
  global racing territories, including branded premium tipping
• Live Streaming: Watch live with low latency global racing through the integrated streaming
  player
• Rapid Sportsbook Integration: The embedded AdVantage racebook solution will
  seamlessly fit into existing player account management and sportsbook platform
  architecture, enabling operators to get to market fast and maintain a market leading offering,
  with PA Betting Services and BetMakers taking care of upstream integrations and pricing.

Commenting on the partnership, CEO of BetMakers Jake Henson, said, “BetMakers and PA Betting Services are both leading innovators in the world of horse racing, so we are delighted to have partnered to launch this new and revolutionary platform.

“PA Betting Services is a world-class organisation whose services are widely recognised as market leading, and BetMakers sees a tactical market position to bring its technology and trading solutions to the partnership.

“The AdVantage Platform brings together the strengths of both businesses while simultaneously offering rights holders and race tracks a new turn-key path to more operators and more regulated markets.

“Importantly, this is a culmination of the work that has gone into our NextGen technology and leveraging the integrations of our global business units and assets.

“We are also excited about the opportunity for our Global Tote customers and partners to be able to reach a new audience of mobile and digital first sportsbook punters.”

Eugene Delaney, Director at PA Betting Services, said: “We see this as a great opportunity for not only our existing clients but also new entrants, as it offers a best-in-class, always-on approach that is fast and easy to implement, removing all the complexity usually associated with racing.”

BetMakers believes this platform will not only offer users a simplified experience, but the fully integrated white-label platform delivers a full user-journey and race card styling that enhances the user experience whilst accepting and settling all wagers.

The AdVantage Platform is expected to go live with first customers in Q4 FY24. The AdVantage Platform will be showcased at ICE in February by PA Betting Services (Stand S1-221) and BetMakers.
