Technologies from Global Tote, a BetMakers company, have helped British racing’s World Pool expand to new racecourses across the UK.

Praising its Quantum technologies and services, Global Tote revealed that World Pool has been rolled out to 17 race days across six racecourses in 2021.

The BetMakers company also noted that in the last 12 months it has added a range of new bet types for those eligible for the World Pool, having also “leveraged its A/B pool technologies to support growth in distribution to new partners”.

Raj Sanjanwala, Chief Operating Officer of Global Tote, remarked: “Game-changing developments like the World Pool help propel the pari-mutuel wagering industry forward, generating increased participation from punters who benefit from enhanced global pools and ultimately driving handle growth.

“The Global Tote technology behind the World Pool is an excellent example of the advances Global Tote is excited to harness and extend to additional participants from its position within the newly enlarged BetMakers group.”

Launched in 2019, the World Pool offers a combined betting pool for wagers on Royal Ascot races generated by UK Tote Group with tote betting from global outlets and the Royal Ascot pools hosted by the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
