The Global Tote has entered into an agreement to with US company, WatchandWager.com LLC ("WatchandWager.com"), which provides pari-mutuel, or pool-betting, wagering services through a number of distribution channels to an international client base.

Under the terms of the deal, WatchandWager.com can provide The Global Tote pools on a non-exclusive basis on Australian racing, harness and greyhound meetings across its distribution network and Advance Deposit Wagering ("ADW") platform to punters across North America.

TopBetta CEO, Todd Buckingham, said:

"WatchandWager.com will become the first American distribution partner of The Global Tote's pools, bringing in both retail and sophisticated handle/turnover which is expected to create greater liquidity to The Global Tote's thoroughbred, harness and greyhound pools."

"Last year WatchandWager.com processed over US$360M worth of wagers into pools around the world, and now that existing customer base will have access to the full suite of The Global Tote products and pools."

"This deal is the result of much hard work and we are very excited to bring The Global Tote into the US via this new channel, which, again, we expect will also benefit Australian racing bodies with more race field fees via this new turnover."

The agreement with WatchandWager.com commences on 1 February 2018 for an initial term of 12 months (with successive further 12 month terms) and The Global Tote will receive 2% of the takeout from bets placed by WatchandWager.com with The Global Tote.
