How to entice trotting bettors to gallop and the World Pool?
How can we get a global merged pool on every race, every day, across the globe. The HKJC has led the way, how do we build on it and what are the steps and the roadblocks that we need to consider to make it a reality?
In countries where trotting and gallop appeal to customers on equal terms such as in France and Australia, or even in US, what is the approach of the national operators to promote both racing categories?
October 2025 (Date TBC)
Webinar on Sustainability/CSR issues applied to technology providers.
In order to reduce the social and environmental impact caused along the value chain, the operators must work together with their suppliers. As a starting point for assessing the supply chain, some operators (lotteries) have introduced a supplier code of conduct, which provides standards that suppliers are expected to comply with. Such assessments can be conducted through questionnaires, IT supported systems or by auditing premises.
December 2025 (Date TBC)
Webinar on US situation
Sport betting is now legal in around 38 States.
At the time of the Court’s decision in 2018, cancelling the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, Nevada was the only state to offer comprehensive, legal, regulated sports betting. Now, 38 states offer sports betting, with Missouri set to become the 39th state in 2025.
US Sport betting market is dominated by Basketball, NFL and Baseball and where is racing in all that?
