1/ST TECHNOLOGY’s AmTote International (“AmTote”), in collaboration with OneBet Technology Limited (“OneBet”), has finalized a series of long-term agreements with the Jockey Club of Turkiye (Türkiye Jokey Kulübü, “TJK”). These agreements establish AmTote as the exclusive provider of wagering platform technologies, hardware, and 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 domestic wagering technologies and services, AmTote and B2E Racing Content Limited (“B2E”) have secured the media and wagering distribution rights for TJK racing content, enabling its global distribution through 1/ST CONTENT’s extensive operator network.

The collaboration between AmTote, TJK, and OneBet/B2E culminated in a seamless launch on June 24th, covering TJK’s ten racecourses, over 2,300 OTB shops, 3,000 state-of-the-art point-of-sale terminals across Turkey, TJK’s online betting platform, and integrations with six online betting operators.

This rollout was followed by the successful hosting of the 98th Gazi Derby on June 30th, Turkey’s most significant racing event. The event saw record-breaking figures, with a combined handle of over 248 million TL (USD 7.6M). TJK’s new AmTote platform processed nearly five million transactions, handling up to 10,000 transactions per second, including two million physical ticket transactions and over 362 million internal wagering pool updates.

This agreement positions 1/ST TECHNOLOGY’s AmTote, OneBet, and B2E as TJK’s exclusive long-term partners, covering international media and wagering distribution, existing wagering technology needs, and future developments in pari-mutuel wagering and fixed-odds betting technology and market management.

Keith Johnson, President of 1/ST TECHNOLOGY and AmTote, said: “1/ST TECHNOLOGY and AmTote are thrilled to have earned TJK’s business, in conjunction with our OneBet and B2E colleagues, and to now collectively call them our partners. Our companies are aligned in the betterment of horse racing on the global stage, and the critical wagering operations that underpin it. I can boldly say that, in my time in this industry, I have not worked with a better and more skilled group of people than the TJK executives, management, and their entire team, as evidenced by an amazingly clean launch of unparalleled scope in our business. I am proud of the combined teams’ effort; they were truly awe-inspiring. We now look forward to the successes we will continue to have together for many years to come.”

Andrew Gaughan, Chairman of OneBet and B2E, added: “I am delighted to announce our participation in a landmark collaboration and partnership with AmTote, combining with the formidable 1/ST alongside the prestigious Jockey Club of Turkiye (TJK). This partnership marks a significant milestone for all parties involved, and we are confident it will revolutionize the landscape of horse racing in Turkey. We are committed to being a long-term partner, not only addressing their current wagering and technology needs but also supporting their future endeavours and business growth initiatives.

“Our combined expertise will extend beyond Turkish borders. By leveraging the expansive network of 1/ST CONTENT’s business unit and utilizing the relationships of 1/ST and the OneBet/B2E business and racing relationships, we have secured the international media and wagering distribution rights for TJK racing content. This strategic move allows us to share the thrill and steeped history of Turkish horse racing and wagering thereon to the global racing and gaming audiences.”

Tuncel Aydin, CEO of TJK, added: “As the Turkish Jockey Club, we are very pleased with our partnership with AmTote, OneBet, and B2E. The successful implementation of our new betting system, replacing the old one that had reached the end of its technological and economic life, significantly contributes to our goal of modernization. We are delighted to have made a seamless transition to a state-of-the-art betting system. By leveraging the power of technology, we aim to offer faster, more reliable, and comprehensive services to our racing enthusiasts. This partnership not only enhances the betting experience within Turkey but also plays a crucial role in marketing the media and wagering rights of Turkish races internationally.

“I would like to extend our gratitude to the AmTote team for their exceptional efforts during the system transition. Their expertise and dedication were instrumental in achieving a smooth and successful launch. I believe that, through our partnership with AmTote, OneBet, and B2E, Turkish horse racing will reach a wider audience globally. I would like to thank all the teams who contributed to the successful launch process and I am confident in our future successes.”
