"This success could not have happened without the excellent collaboration of William Hill Group Trading and BetMakers, who offer an incredible wealth of experience in International racing. This transition has seen William Hill increase its racing content significantly."

BetMakers Technology Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr Todd Buckingham, said:

"This a significant and positive endorsement of the BetMakers business and we are delighted to be working with the William Hill Group, which as one of the world's largest sports-betting and gaming companies has been one of BetMakers' foundation clients outside of Australia.
