The acquisition aims to enhance PA Betting Services' racing capabilities, to offer customers a greater suite of services and an enhanced value proposition.

Not only does it allow us to reach new customers, but it also puts us in a position to offer a whole new range of services for our rightsholder and bookmaker partners.”
