MALTCO LOTTERIES CEO Mr Vasileios Kasiotakis and Operations Director Mr Georgios Kakouras with the ATG Head of
International Mr Lars Nemeth during the ICE Exhibition 2018, at Intralot’s Pavilion
Maltco Lotteries’ world-class partnership with
Sweden’s ATG remains exclusive for Malta.
Maltco Lotteries and the Swedish Horse
Racing Totalisator Board (ATG) have
broadened their exclusive partnership
signing an agreement in London during
ICE Totally Gaming 2018, which
ensures that Maltco Lotteries has sole
access to top ATG competitions and
races for Maltese betting enthusiasts
via their U*BET Horse Racing platform.
The extended cooperation agreement
enables Maltco Lotteries to satisfy
players’ interest in ATG events following
the single largest purse won by a Maltco
player in Malta, a sum in excess of
€2.1M on the last day of 2017 played
on the V75 jackpot organised by ATG.
ATG’s objective since 1974 has been to create
funding for trotting and thoroughbred racing
established by the Swedish state, with the aim
of guaranteeing long-term financial stability for
trotting and thoroughbred racing. Through this
partnership Malta has received major interest
from Swedish horse-racing breeders, trainers
and professionals resulting in a boost to Malta's
racing stock from Sweden as well as the input
of professional trainers into the local market.
ATG's success on the betting market together
with partners including Maltco Lotteries, have
made a major contribution to the health of
horse racing sports. ATG and Maltco Lotteries
partnership is the marriage of two leading
gaming companies with a strong focus on
a meaningful leisure activity by using topquality
trotting and thoroughbred racing as
the partnership's foundation, applying an
innovative and responsible approach to make
betting on horse-racing exciting, entertaining
and accessible.
The partnership between the two
companies started with V Bets in November
2007, which were followed by the Single
Leg races within the next year. This,
enhanced Maltco offerings of live sportsbetting
as well as an expanded games
portfolio populated by tens of thousands of
players requires best-of-breed international
content and live feeds that can be enjoyed
by all Maltese enthusiasts in all 230 Maltco
agents. The refreshed ATG agreement is
an important element in Maltco’s sportsbetting
offering, regulated by the Malta
Gaming Authority.
Maltco Lotteries’ CEO; Vasileios Kasiotakis
said, "Maltco is delighted to continue offering,
exclusively ATG's combination of live sport
and live gaming. Especially since the U*BET
Horse Racing V BETS which allows the player
to predict the winning horses in a number
of races seem to become more and more
popular amongst the Maltese players.“ MBR
