The UK Tote Group has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Sweden’s former horse racing monopoly AB Trav och Galopp (ATG) in terms of which its customers will gain access to betting on Swedish racing.
The agreement will see UK punters having a chance to place a selection of bets on Swedish thoroughbred and harness racing, including Win, Place, Trifecta and Exacta bets, while in the process of integrating the Tote with the Swedish multi-leg V-bets.
Alex Frost, Chief Executive of the UK Tote Group, commented that in these unprecedented times they are all working together across horseracing to do what they can to support the sport and its participants. He added that horseracing is truly global and at the UK Tote they want to play their part in showcasing the sport to as broad an audience as possible.
Frost went on to say that their new partnership with ATG is a valuable example of this with racing fans now able to enjoy watching and betting on Swedish racing for the first time with the Tote.
Hasse Lord Skarploth, Chief Executive of ATG, said that they are all affected by the situation the world is in right now, both in their private and professional lives. He added that under these circumstances it is good that in the short term they have been able to work with the UK Tote to offer betting on Swedish racing for their customers for the first time, thereby generating revenue to the sport.
