SIS and Bet365 Launch Fixed-Odds Horse Racing in Colorado
Launch provides sports bettors with exciting new content and raises horse racing awareness
SIS Content Services, part of Sports Information Services (SIS) Group, the leading content supplier of 24/7 live betting services, has agreed a landmark deal with long-time operator partner Bet365 to deliver its global horse racing content to bettors in Colorado, bringing fixed-odds horse racing wagering to a licensed sports betting platform for the first time in the United States.
The approval of horse racing fixed-odds wagering on Colorado sportsbooks will aid the sport attracting a wider range of casual bettors, who will be offered the same type of betting as all other sports. It represents positive news for a range of Colorado stakeholders including Bally’s Arapahoe Park and the Colorado Horsemen’s Association as a portion of turnover is directed to Colorado horse racing.
Boasting round-the-clock betting opportunities, SIS Group provides a comprehensive horse racing portfolio of nearly 140 international and domestic racetracks. The upcoming highlights include the Saudi Cup Day on February 24 where top American horses will compete for US$33.5 million in purses and then travel to the Dubai World Cup meeting on March 24 to vie for US$30.5 million in purses. Along with coverage of the world’s richest horse races, year-round racing is available from 14 countries including Ireland, Australia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and the United States.
SIS Group delivers sportsbooks an end-to-end horse racing solution including live-streamed video with betting triggers, race day data and an extensive range of markets and odds prices to provide seamless betting experiences.
“The launch of fixed-odds horse racing betting on Colorado sportsbooks puts horse racing on equal footing with other sports and hopefully attracts a new fan base and revenue for our racetrack partners,” the Vice-President for SIS Content Services, Michele Fischer, said. “This is a great first step in expanding the horse racing audience and I commend the Colorado horse racing stakeholders, Colorado Division of Gaming and Bet365 for their vision and support. Horse racing provides sportsbooks with exciting year-round 24/7 content throughout the world. It will take time in the United States but I expect that more sports wagering operators and states will include horse racing on their sports catalogs.”
“We are thrilled to be able to put horse racing on Colorado sportsbooks for fixed-odds wagering,” the Operations and Racing Executive Director for Bally’s Arapahoe Park, Shannon Ruston, said. “Working with SIS Group, we crafted a commercial framework that benefits local racing while giving sportsbooks access to thousands of races. Our belief is that this development will secure a better future not only for Bally’s Arapahoe Park but also for the racing ecosystem as a whole in Colorado.”
“We are committed to ensuring that horse racing in Colorado is economically viable for the participating owners and trainers, who are the backbone of the sport,” the President of the Colorado Horsemen’s Association, Kim Oliver, said. “Fixed-odds betting will produce a new revenue stream and exposure for horse racing. This launch represents a pivotal moment for our group.”
“The introduction of fixed-odds horse racing betting is sure to have a positive impact in Colorado,” read a statement from Bet365. “We have seen the popularity of fixed-odds betting in horse racing in other markets and, as sports betting becomes more ingrained across the United States, it will certainly provide a boost to engagement.”
BETER, an award-winning provider of fast betting content and data for esports and sports, has bolstered its presence in Latin America after being registered as a service provider in Argentina.
The registration, enabling BETER to supply its 24/7 live streaming, data, and odds to all licensed local operators, was provided by the Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, the gambling regulatory body in the City of Buenos Aires.
BETER has quickly established itself as a must-have provider for operators across the region with those active in Argentina now able to offer its esports and sports offerings to their players.
This includes BETER’s proprietary ESportsBattle tournaments, Setka Cup table tennis series, and BSKT Cup basketball league. In total, bettors can wager on more than 46,000 of BETER`s fast-paced esports and sports events each month. All matches are provided with 24/7 live streaming, real-time data, and odds, with an average operator margin of 7.5%+.
Operators in Argentina will also be able to use BETER’s Esports Odds feed which offers market-leading odds across 450+ tournaments globally with 40,000+ live and pre-match events per year. Odds are calculated using official data and compiled by in-house expert traders for popular disciplines like CS2, Dota 2, LoL, Valorant, and many more.
Gal Ehrlich, CEO of BETER, said: “We have identified Latin America as one of the key markets for us and we are working hard to meet all demands of regulators in the jurisdictions where we want to offer our products to operators.
“This is a region that continues to evolve – both in terms of player preferences and also the regulatory and legal landscape – and all companies must embrace this and adapt to provide the experiences players are seeking while complying with the rules in place.
“In the City of Buenos Aires and beyond, the demand for fast betting content and experiences for both esports and sports is at an all-time high, and with our suite of products, operators can meet this demand with thrilling content that provides round-the-clock action and betting opportunities.”
Valeria Tarchynska, BETER’s Chief Legal Officer, added: “Our team has plenty of experience in applying for and securing approvals in regulated markets such as Latin America and others. This time, we had the support of the local law firm MF Estudio-Abogados whose guidance was invaluable.
“Receiving registration from Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires is an important step for BETER as we keep expanding our reach across Latin America and further establish ourselves as the leading and official provider of fast betting content, data and odds.”
Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has amplified its strong position within Argentina by signing a new content agreement with City Center Online.

The integration of Rubyplay’s portfolio has first gone live in Buenos Aires City, with expansion into other major Argentinian provinces including Buenos Aires province and Mendoza to follow shortly.
Partnering with BetWarrior highlights RubyPlay’s commitment to providing exceptional entertainment to operators in Argentina, with the studio’s immersive content already proving popular with players across Latin America.
BetWarrior is increasingly growing its presence in Argentina, with the operator securing official sponsorship of the Argentine Soccer team and Las Leonas, Argentina’s national hockey team as well as recently being title sponsors for the 2024 Argentine Open of Tennis.
