AMTOTE LAUNCHES FULL WAGERING PLATFORM & GLOBAL CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SERVICES FOR TURKISH JOCKEY CLUB

1/ST TECHNOLOGY’s AmTote International (“AmTote”), in association with OneBet Technology Limited (“OneBet”), has entered into multiple long-term agreements with the Jockey Club of Turkiye (Türkiye Jokey Kulübü, “TJK”) to provide the exclusive wagering platform technologies, hardware, and related support services for TJK’s racecourses, 2,300 off-track betting shops (“OTBs”), and multiple e-Agent online betting operators within Turkey. In addition to the in-country wagering technologies and services, AmTote and B2E Racing Content Limited (“B2E”) have secured the media and wagering distribution rights for TJK racing content to be exported throughout the world, leveraging 1/ST CONTENT’s expansive operator relationships and integrations.

AmTote, TJK and OneBet/B2E teams have worked tirelessly over the past several months ultimately culminating in a Monday, June 24^th seamless overnight launch of TJK’s ten racecourses, over 2,300 OTB shops, while installing 3,000 state-of-the-art point of sale terminal deployments throughout Turkey, TJK’s online betting site, as well as full integrations with TJK’s six online betting operator partners.

Then, in less than a week, on Sunday, June 30^th, TJK successfully ran its biggest event of the year, the 98^th running of the Gazi Derby. The event day smashed previous records, with combined all-programs handle of over 248 million TL (USD 7.6M). In doing so, TJK’s new AmTote platform flawlessly processed nearly five million total system transactions, with a maximum total transaction rate exceeding a blazing 10,000 transactions per second, including two million physical ticket transactions, and over 362 million internal wagering pool updates.

The deal sees 1/ST TECHNOLOGY’s AmTote, OneBet and B2E become TJK’s exclusive long-term partner not only for international media and wagering distribution, along with supplying its existing wagering technology needs, but it will also include new pari-mutuel wagering types as well as fixed-odds betting technology and markets management in the coming months.
