Amelco one of first major platform providers to go live in Ohio
Sports betting giant strengthens US position with Ohio launch
Amelco, the leading sports betting and platform provider, has confirmed that it has gone live in the state of Ohio, with its product live since the 1st January 2023.
The supplier, which offers the most comprehensive end-to-end platform in North America, has received regulatory approval for its full-service solution which currently spans 12 states, with two additional jurisdictions to be announced in the near future.
This landmark deal represents a significant milestone for Amelco, with some of its strongest ever go-live numbers recorded in just three weeks of operating in the Buckeye State.
Over the New Year weekend, over 11 million transactions were recorded overall across the state with Cincinnati seeing 1.9 million of these and Columbus just over a million.
Testament to the stateâs potential, the number of transactions over that weekend in Ohio was even higher than New Yorkâs over the same 48-hour period.
In total, there are currently 16 sportsbooks live in the Buckeye State, with the ultra-competitive market powered by the extensive success of its sports teams, including the Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Guardians and the Cincinnati Bengals.
With Maryland and Massachusetts to also be added to the providerâs roster shortly, Amelcoâs end-to-end solution spans bespoke trading, iGaming, retail, player account management and multiple data feeds, making it North Americaâs most comprehensive platform.
Commenting on its Ohio launch, Brandon Walker, Head of Amelco USA, said: âThis is another major steppingstone in Amelcoâs extensive plans for expansion in the US, and we look forward to bringing our offering to an increased audience of sports bettors.
âWe expect excitement to only increase, and we are really interested to see what the numbers are going to look like over the course of the next few months. In terms of our product, no one-offers a full service, end-to-end solution like we do at Amelco. We deliver everything under one roof which no other provider can do.â

1/ST and Goodwood Racecourse announce Group 1 pathways between the United Kingdom and North America
1/ST, North Americaâs preeminent Thoroughbred racing and pari-mutuel wagering company, and Goodwood Racecourse, one of the United Kingdomâs leading racecourses, today announce a new initiative that will see a reciprocal partnership between 1/ST-owned racecourses in North America and Goodwood Racecourse in the United Kingdom.
This exciting new partnership will see horses gain automatic entry following success at the Pegasus World Cup meeting at Gulfstream Park on January 25, and at Goodwood Racecourseâs world-famous five-day festival, the Qatar Goodwood Festival presented by Visit Qatar.
The Pegasus World Cup Turf winner in 2025 will be granted automatic entry to the 2025 running of the Qatar Sussex Stakes. Likewise, the victor of the 2025 Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf will gain automatic entry to the Qatar Nassau Stakes in 2025.
Additionally, the winner of this yearâs ÂŁ1m, Group 1 Qatar Sussex Stakes will gain automatic entry to the Pegasus World Cup Turf in 2026 and the winner of the Group 1 Qatar Nassau Stakes will gain automatic entry to the Pegasus World Cup Filly and Mare Turf in 2026.
This new partnership will create an easily accessible pathway for horses to compete both in North America and the United Kingdom and help to encourage top-tier racehorses to travel and increase international participation at both fixtures â while also bolstering elite fields for global audiences and deeper fan engagement.
Aidan Butler, President of 1/ST, said: âThanks again to our friends at Goodwood Racecourse as our partnership enters its second year. We canât wait to see how our Pegasus World Cup Turf winners fare on the other side of the pond and look forward to welcoming the victors of the Qatar Sussex Stakes and Qatar Nassau Stakes back to Gulfstream Park in late January 2026 for one of the most lucrative racedays on the East Coast.
âThese reciprocal pathways mark the latest strides in 1/STâs bid to broaden the appeal and international participation in the worldâs major races. Weâve already seen such incentives reap immediate rewards when Crimson Advocate won at Royal Ascot in 2023, having punched her automatic spot via our Royal Palm juvenile series at Gulfstream Park. Now, Miami can hopefully work its magic again with the Qatar Goodwood Festival!â
Edward Arkell, Director of Racing at Goodwood Racecourse, added: âWe are thrilled to announce this fantastic new initiative, and I would like to thank 1/ST for their enthusiasm and support. By pairing two of our most prestigious races with a pair of turf races at the Pegasus World Cup meeting, we are confident that we have unlocked a well-scheduled gateway.
âThis partnership also highlights the importance of collaborating with the best horseracing in the World and allows us the opportunity to showcase the obvious benefits of working alongside the North American horseracing circuit.â
