EurosportBET has launched tote horse racing on its French label, EurosportBET.fr.
GTECH G2’s MarginMaker platform integrates horse racing with EurosportBET’s other sports betting offerings. SPS Betting, which also operates EurosportBET.co.uk, was one of the first earlier this year when it launched EurosportBET.fr immediately after France opened up its online gaming market. It is one of a handful of operators licensed to take fixed odds wagers on sports.
Frédéric Tardieu, director of program management at EurosportBET, commented: "We are now a member of the very small club of French legal online gaming operators able to operate sportsbook, poker and horse racing."
Development of EurosportBET.fr was a joint effort in which a EurosportBET programming team used G2 MarginMaker’s public APIs to create its own version of the website where it has been taking wagers on football, tennis and rugby since June.
As many as 15 million horse racing bets have been known to be made on a single daily race in France, with over 200 tracks and over 8,000 off-track outlets across the country. France’s pari-mutual betting system is the third largest in the world.
