MST enlists XB Net to drive engagement with premium North American racing

Italian white-label provider rolls out U.S. horse racing to its extensive network in new agreement with leading Stateside supplier


XB Net, the leading provider of premium content for North American horse racing, has signed a new distribution deal with Italy’s premier white-label platform provider, MST (Media System Technologies).

The agreement seamlessly adds XB Net’s supply of live pictures, data and fixed-odds betting services – from an unrivalled network of North American tracks – to MST’s own burgeoning suite of products from over 200 racecourses on four different continents.

XB Net’s end-to-end solution, drawing from a deep stateside well that covers approximately 90% of U.S. racing, grants access to many of the world’s most prestigious horse races – including Triple Crown events at the Belmont and Preakness Stakes, the Pegasus World Cup and the forthcoming Breeders’ Cup (6-7 November).

This daily schedule of engaging content, which neatly complements Italy’s domestic racing action, provides MST with a reliable source of fast-settling betting opportunities between 18:00 and 05:00 CET. This immersive action is proven to capture and retain the attention of audiences during competitive digital-entertainment cycles, driving new revenue streams for ongoing partnerships and new clients.

MST’s proprietary platform can now support its clients (including Eurobet, Goldbet, Sisal, BetFlag, SKS365, Lottomatica and the Microgame network) with an authentic 24/7 horse racing service which plugs the gaps on a fragmented betting calendar. Its platform harnesses everything required to run a responsible horse racing business across online, mobile and retail.

XB Net is the pacesetter for live North American horse racing content, providing rights, betting data, live broadcast and video streaming on behalf of its growing global portfolio of partners. Harnessing low-latency feeds from more than 2,500 meetings, showcasing over 25,000 races per year, North American racing is delivering fan engagement across global markets as operators bid to fill the void on a stop-start schedule for live sport.

Moreno Tanfani, Head of Horse Racing Business at MST, said: “For Italian operators, U.S. racing represents a great opportunity to expand their offering beyond traditional fixtures and is already proving a major boost for acquisition and retention with those clients who’ve been the first to take it. Their players have quickly seen the added fun and value that US racing brings to the betting experience, providing a trustworthy and regular flow of rapid-cycle opportunities.

“Thanks to some recent amendments in our domestic framework, we were delighted to go straight to the rights holder in XB Net for a seamless platform integration. On top of that, their intuitive marketing packages and content make the betting experience both intelligible and exciting for any unfamiliar end users.

“After Italian restrictions on broadcasting horse racing from overseas were belatedly eased last year, international content is growing in its appeal and assimilation. In fact, XB Net now represents 20% of the MST network’s total turnover, including Italian races.

“XB Net is now helping MST meet the demands of any kind of player, allowing our partners and their customers to enjoy the best live racing from around the world 24/7. It’s a boon for both increased betting activity and engagement.”

Simon Fraser, Senior Vice President of International at XB Net, added: “Wherever you set your scene in the world, delivering the right content at peak leisure-times remains paramount during a period of great variability on any sportsbook tab. XB Net’s wide range of low-latency racing solutions and racetracks is now ensuring the requisite flexibility for MST and their impressive rollcall of operators, and we’re delighted with this progressive partnership.

“While it’s always great to plan globally, you need to remember to deliver a flexible enough solution that works locally. Live, premium daily sport is ostensibly an easy sell wherever you are in the world, particularly in the current climate. However, if that sport’s betting markets are consistent and the framework familiar to customers, and the timing matches up well with local leisure periods, then traction will take hold more quickly and prove long-lasting.”

The inaugural Legends Charity Game, organised by Sport Global, will be staged at Sporting CP’s Estádio José Alvalade, marking the start of a series set to run annually until 2030.

The match will see Portugal Legends face off against World Legends on Monday, 15 September 2025, with Calema performing live at half-time, and all in support of the goal of raising €1 million for charity.

The venue confirmation came after the Champions League schedule was finalised, introducing Estádio José Alvalade as the host of the opening match of the series. Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00, with player arrivals at 18:00 and gates opening at 18:30. Fans can enjoy a pre-game show at 19:40, while half-time will feature a live performance by Calema, the São Tomé and Príncipe-born, Portugal-based duo known for their blend of pop and Afrobeat, performing in front of 50,000 fans and millions watching worldwide.

The Portugal side will be captained by Luís Figo and include a host of stars from the nation’s greatest footballing moments. Figo said: “It’s always a pleasure to come back to my country and play football! Hope to see a full stadium in my hometown, Lisbon, for this amazing Legends Charity Game and raise funds for important charity causes.”

Joining him are Euro 2016 winners Ricardo Quaresma, Nani, Eliseu, Bruno Alves, Ricardo Carvalho, and Pepe, along with Champions League winners Fábio Coentrão, Maniche, Pauleta, Vítor Baía, José Bosingwa, and Deco. Other confirmed legends include Beto, Jorge Andrade, Dani, Tiago Mendes, Simão, Hélder Postiga, Nuno Gomes, and Costinha, who will also serve as team manager.

Legendary forward Quaresma added: “Wearing the Portuguese shirt has always filled me with pride, and winning Euro 2016 was the greatest moment of my career. I’m really looking forward to representing Portugal again, especially for such a good cause. Football has the power to bring joy and hope, and using that to support families affected by war and conflict is incredibly important. Playing at home in Lisbon, for something that matters this much, makes the Legends Charity Game even more special.”

Nuno Gomes, one of Portugal’s most recognisable attacking players of the 1990s and 2000s, added: “Being called up to represent Portugal has always carried a deep sense of responsibility and national pride, and that feeling is no different ahead of the upcoming Legends Charity Match. Supporting those less fortunate has long been a personal priority.”

The World Legends squad will provide formidable competition, featuring international icons including Kaká, Peter Schmeichel (Manager), Petr Cech, Edwin van der Sar, Rene Higuita, Carles Puyol, Roberto Carlos, John Terry, Cafu, Javier Zanetti, Marco Materazzi, Gheorghe Hagi, Youri Djorkaeff, Christian Karembeu, Krasimir Balakov, Gaizka Mendieta, Marek Hamsik, Javier Saviola, Michael Owen, Henrik Larsson, Alessandro Del Piero, and Hristo Stoichkov.

All proceeds from the match will be donated through the Sport Global Charitable Foundation to four charities:

–   Cruz Vermelha Portuguesa (Portuguese Red Cross): Delivering emergency response, healthcare, training, and social support nationwide.

–   Cáritas Portuguesa: Providing critical support to marginalised communities in Portugal and abroad.

–   International Alert: Working across divides to resolve conflict and build lasting peace.

–   Ukrainian Red Cross Society: Delivering urgent care, shelter, food, and psychological support to those affected by war.

Rasmus Sojmark, Founder of Sport Global, said: “With the Legends Charity Game, we are connecting fans, legends, music and communities for something bigger than the game itself. This match will bring generations together, and Estádio José Alvalade is a fantastic host for what promises to deliver the best in entertainment for a great cause. I would also like to take the chance to thank the Portuguese Football Federation, along with all our sponsors and partners, for helping us make this a reality.”

The Legends Charity Game is an annual event organised by Sport Global and will run until 2030.

Tickets for the Legends Charity Game are now on sale starting from €10 for adults and €6 children. Premium Category tickets are also available at €35 for adults and €20 for children under 12.

Donations can be made online.

* Sport Global Charitable Foundation is a restricted fund under the auspices of Prism the Gift Fund (UK registered charity no. 1099682). All profits from the Legends Charity Game will support the Foundation’s beneficiary charities.
