ARC and Vermantia enter into a global distribution agreement
Arena Racing Company (“ARC”), the largest racecourse group in the UK, and Vermantia, the leading provider of omni-channel content solutions worldwide, have entered into a landmark agreement for distributing ARC’s premium greyhound racing content from both the UK and Australia.
Under this long term agreement, Vermantia will become the exclusive supplier of ARC’s portfolio of established greyhound content in a wide range of international markets, many of which already receive Vermantia’s betting channels, including most of South and Eastern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, Vermantia will be ARC’s preferred partner worldwide for producing and delivering bespoke channels to retail operators. The agreement also sets a foundation for the distribution of additional content controlled by ARC as well as virtual content from Vermantia’s suite of more than 25 unique titles.
Vermantia will integrate the content into its CONNECT Platform, comprising live video and racing data from more than 4,500 greyhound racing fixtures from the UK and Australia. This unique portfolio of content provides betting opportunities on at least 120 premium live greyhound races per day, by far the most extensive offering of its kind in Europe. Via CONNECT, Vermantia will provide a fully populated odds service, a seamless integration with any bet acceptance system, and automated scheduling capabilities in the production and delivery of bespoke betting channels.
This agreement will allow bookmakers the opportunity to receive the best live greyhound content via bespoke betting channels and tailor-made services, rather than the one-channel-fits-all practice of the past.
ARC Chief Executive, Martin Cruddace, said: “Our cooperation with Vermantia is a landmark for ARC in line with our strategy for expanding the reach of our proven and valued media rights. In Vermantia, we found both the international retail distribution experience and the enabling content technologies necessary to rapidly and effectively rollout our premium greyhound content to the global markets.”
Vermantia Founder & Chief Executive, Filippos Antonopoulos, said: “We are excited to team up with ARC, a partnership based on our common belief that a comprehensive schedule of premium live greyhound racing delivered with a fully customisable and enabling betting channel can be a real revenue booster for any retail operator. Our combined offering is simply the best of its kind worldwide and we feel really privileged that ARC chose Vermantia as its trusted partner for their international markets.”

How to choose an online casino in Australia?
Online games have long occupied a firm place in the lives of many people. For someone it is a distraction from the constant routine of life, someone is just a fan of excitement and increased adrenaline in the blood, and many have long found in online casinos another method of financial gain. However, to get the reliable and comprehensive list of Australian gambling sites – you need to learn few things.
In today’s world, everything is changing so fast, everything moves at such a pace that it is very difficult to keep up with everything. And it has not the best effect on our lives and our behavior. Because it is always on the go, to solve dozens of questions at the same time, to try to cope with everything at once, and to meet certain deadlines is a hard struggle. If you live in such an incredible rhythm of life, without having a good rest it will never lead you to anything good.
If a full recreation is not for everyone (it can be costly), a little distraction at online casinos – may be your solution. It’s not necessary to play for money, you can try any casino games for free on websites like Toponlinecasinoaustralia.com. This is a nice full recreation. There is absolutely no need to go anywhere, you are at home, or at work, for example, during lunch break, you can afford the minute and distract yourself from mundane problems.
Choosing the best Australian casinos
If you do decide to play for money, the first thing you must do is to carefully examine the gambling site. The very first thing you should pay attention to – it’s of course the license, all the necessary data can always be found on the main page somewhere at the bottom (in the footer of the page). The presence of this document indicates that the site has been thoroughly checked by the relevant authorities, and you can deposit your funds with complete peace of mind. Because even if you have a dispute with the casino – the regulatory body will usually solve such disputes in favor of a player.
Also important are the reviews about the casino, you can read them in all kinds of forums, and you should always look at the ratings, but only those that were created by the players and not the affiliate companies.
Try as much as possible to learn about the attendance of the site, it too can provide you with valuable information, which in future will affect your choice of site for the game.
It’s also worth checking how long the site has been up to date, when a new game was added, because if the last update was, for example, six years ago, then this site is unlikely to be worth dealing with.
When during registration you will find information that informs you of the limitation on the withdrawal of winnings, it is better to immediately stop at this place and do not continue registration. So, this is a clear example of violation of player’s rights, no site can prohibit you in one way or another to withdraw your money.
And be sure to pay attention to the availability of support around the clock, there should not be any interruptions, you must be ready to help at any second.
In any case, the choice of the game is always up to the player, only you decide with which casino you want to try your luck, in any case, always try as much as possible to learn the necessary information. And only when the casino really proves to be bona fide, you can always get a lot of pleasure. And remember this is only a game, but it should always bring only positive moments.

Australian Gaming Statistics: A Market Overview
Australia is the largest country in Oceania, with over 26 million inhabitants. Although Sidney is perhaps the most-known city (due to the Opera House building), its capital is Canberra. The country is well-known for its massive biodiversity, including unique marsupials like kangaroo or koala.
Australia has a long term gambling tradition (it’s said that over 80% of the adult population bets in some way), and that combined with a wealth economy has always made the country an exciting market for gambling companies. About 1% of the population suffer from gambling addiction or other gambling-related health issues.
In 2019, the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office released the 35th edition of the “Australian Gambling Statistics,” a handbook that combines gambling stats for all Australian state and territory governments.
This document is a comprehensive guide that covers all forms of gambling in Australia, including pokies, sports betting, casino games, machines, etc. It breaks down the overall industry by game, state, revenue, etc. and it’s a crucial text for anyone interested in the gambling industry.
Australian Gambling Market: A Billionaire Industry
The total gambling expenditure in Australia increased by 5% in the last period up to $24.877 billion; and since 2009, the Aussie gambling industry turnover has grown by almost 30%, from $160,447,673 in the 2009-2010 period:
In the 2017-2018 period (the latest information available) the total gambling turnover was $218,818.729 million as follows:
- Racing: 11,79%;
- Gaming (casino, gaming machines, lottery): 82,9%;
- Sports Betting: 5,3%.
Within the “Gaming” category, a clear leader emerges: Gaming Machines accounts for $149,534.948 million, almost 70% of the total. No wonder why Slots have a local name in Australia: pokies.
The overall gambling industry grew by 4,9%, with drastic reductions of Interactive Gaming (prohibited) and Tab Tote Odds. Sports Betting has an outstanding behavior, with a growth of 14,9% in the last period.
In terms of Government revenue, growth has remained stable at around 5%, with the exception of the 2016-2017 period when the profits didn’t grow as a result of the market behavior. In 2018-2019, Australia secured $6,201,077, thanks to the gambling industry. The per capita government revenue from gambling was $321,98.
Period | Total Government Revenue |
2009-10 | $4.929.606 |
2010-11 | $5.283.089 |
2011-12 | $5.514.351 |
2012-13 | $5.492.321 |
2013-14 | $5.465.684 |
2014-15 | $5.788.956 |
2015-16 | $6.010.016 |
2016-17 | $5.941.977 |
2017-18 | $6.201.077 |
What about Australian online gambling?
Although online (interactive) gaming hasn’t been allowed since 2001, in a country with such a gambling tradition, it is almost impossible to avoid Internet betting, something that has led to the growth of a parallel online industry.
Some online casinos use advanced techniques to protect their customers like Fair Go Safe Login, and there are no scandals related to non-payment of profits.
It’s said that the online casino industry in Australia could boost government revenue by a large share. Still, for now, the laws restrict it mainly due to health issues related to gambling addiction.
Nevertheless, with the current regulation, the overall gambling industry expenditure represents more than $24 billion, and the gambling cost per adult is approximately $1,300. With such data, there are strong reasons to believe that Australia could soon change its laws to take more advantage of these incredible numbers.
