Betfair, the popular global sportsbetting company, will act as TOTE Tasmania’s official online betting exchange agent, according to an agreement signed between the two. The deal will benefit the Australian horseracing industry, and will bring in tens of millions of dollars in revenue to TOTE Tasmania. Betfair’s Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Klok said: “We’ve always maintained that Betfair’s exchange products complement those of the traditional operators. This agreement enables us to leverage our technology and online distribution expertise to better meet the needs of our customers.” Craig Coleman, CEO for Betfair, said that new UK advertising laws determine that the only jurisdiction in Australia that is allowed to promote its gambling products is Tasmania. “Betfair already has more than one million registered customers in the UK which it can market Australian racing to immediately,” he said.
