BetMakers Technology Group Ltd
Chairman's Letter
30 June 2025
Dear Shareholders,
FY25 marked a true inflection point for BetMakers. For the first time, the Company delivered both positive Adjusted
EBITDA and operating cash flow, underpinned by a leaner cost base, expanding margins, and the successful
rollout of new proprietary technologies designed both to accelerate top-line revenue growth and be cost efficient.
This represents not only a comprehensive turnaround, but what we view as the creation of a sustainable
foundation for long-term, profitable growth.
BetMakers has entered FY26 from a position of strength: through its financial inflection point, debt-free, and
supported by a strong balance sheet. Our priorities are clear - scaling the Apollo platform, advancing our nextgeneration tote platform, GTX, and completing the strategic acquisition of the Las Vegas Dissemination Company.
These initiatives, alongside deeper international expansion and stronger partner adoption, are designed to deliver
revenue growth and margin improvement.
On behalf of the Board, I thank you, our shareholders, for your ongoing support, and congratulate Chief Executive
Officer Jake Henson and his team for executing a transformation that has reset BetMakers as a business and
enhanced its standing as a world-class technology provider to the global racing and wagering sector.
With solid foundations in place, the Board is confident that BetMakers is positioned to deliver long-term value.
Matt Davey

CEO's Letter
30 June 2025
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to present the 2025 Annual Report for BetMakers Technology Group. FY25 was a defining year in
which we reshaped our business and delivered on our strategic priorities.
Transformation and performance
FY25 was characterised by disciplined execution and a significant operational and technical restructure. The
process was challenging but has left BetMakers with a leaner, more agile cost base and a business model
designed to scale globally.
Key financial highlights include:
●
●
●
●
Revenue: $85.1 million
Gross Margin: 64%, rising to 68% in 2H FY25
Adjusted EBITDA: $4.6 million
Cash at Bank: $18.8 million, with no debt
I am satisfied that these results demonstrate the scalability of our platforms, the strength of our partnerships, and
the impact of the transformation program.
Technology and innovation
Technology remains the cornerstone of our growth strategy. The rollout of our Apollo platform has been
transformational, delivering reduced costs, faster product deployment, and a superior customer experience across
multiple jurisdictions.
We have also advanced GTX, our next-generation digital tote wagering platform, which is designed to lower
infrastructure costs, accelerate innovation, and provide greater flexibility for our partners. Complementing these
platforms, we are embedding Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning across our product lifecycle - from
advanced pricing models to automated workflows and content creation - to further enhance efficiency and
customer outcomes.
Partnerships and global expansion
The Company’s growth has been reinforced by a series of strategic agreements and international expansion:
Across FY25, we were pleased to deliver:
Renewal and expansion of our Global Tote partnership with UK Tote Group covering UK and Irish racing as well
as World Pool and key commingling partners.
●
●
●
●
Extension of our long-term pricing and data partnership with Sportsbet largest digital operator in Australia.
Deeper penetration into South Africa and Malaysia, alongside extended presence in Cyprus and Chile.
Anticipated strengthening of our U.S. presence through the pending acquisition of the Las Vegas
Dissemination Company (LVDC).
Executed key strategic agreements with B2B distribution partners Sportradar, Sportingtech, Intelligent
Gaming and Delasport
These achievements reflect the trust placed in BetMakers’ technology and our growing reputation as the backbone
of global racing and wagering industries.
People and sustainability

Our turnaround has been made possible by the resilience and expertise of our people. As we reshaped the
business, we built a culture of innovation, accountability, and collaboration. We remain committed to being an
employer of choice, fostering an inclusive and dynamic environment where our people can thrive.
We also take seriously our responsibility to the industries we serve. For BetMakers, sustainability includes
supporting the long-term health of the racing and wagering ecosystem, upholding integrity, advocating for welfare
standards, and maintaining the highest levels of governance and ethics.
Outlook
BetMakers enters FY26 with momentum and purpose. Our priorities are clear:
●
●
●

●
Broaden adoption of Apollo and GTX platforms and modules, both domestically and internationally.
Complete the acquisition and integration of LVDC to accelerate U.S. expansion.
Deliver upon our broadening suite of B2B distribution into new and emerging markets
Unlock further margin growth as transaction volumes scale globally.
Innovate with new products to support our customers’ needs.
I would like to thank our Board, led by Executive Chairman Matt Davey, for their support and strategic guidance
throughout our transformation. The close alignment between the Board and management gives me confidence
that we are well placed to deliver on our future growth ambitions.
With robust proprietary technology platforms, a strengthened balance sheet, world-class partners, and an
energised team, we believe BetMakers is positioned to deliver sustainable profitability and long-term value
creation.

FY2025 Operational Highlights
BetMakers is a leading B2B technology company servicing the global racing and online sports betting industries.
The Group is defined through two divisions; Global Betting Services and Global Tote. The Company achieved
revenues for the year of $85,121,000, a decrease of 10.6% compared to the prior year (2024: $95,203,000). This
change was driven by:
● the loss of a key customer which contributed $7.1 million of revenue in FY24;
● lower variable revenue from Global Tote’s existing customers; and
● lower than expected turnover and trading conditions for BetMakers’ platform customers.

The Global Betting Services division delivered significant strategic and commercial success in FY25, cementing
its position as a leading provider of data, pricing, and technology solutions to wagering operators globally.
●
Strengthening Tier-1 Customers
Our ability to retain and grow relationships with the industry's largest operators is a testament to the quality
and reliability of our services. We successfully renewed and extended our long-term pricing and data
partnership with Sportsbet, Australia's largest corporate bookmaker, reaffirming our position as a trusted
technology partner to tier-one operators. We also expanded our partnership with rapidly growing Australian
operator Dabble, integrating further products and services to support their growth trajectory.
●
Accelerating Global Expansion
We continued to expand our international footprint, securing new clients in key strategic markets and
demonstrating the global appeal of our solutions. As part of this expansion we secured a significant new
agreement with Hollywoodbets, one of South Africa's leading operators, establishing a key foothold in the
important African market. We significantly increased the reach of our proprietary racing data through new,
high-impact B2B distribution agreements. Our product went live with Gaming Innovation Group (GiG),
delivering our comprehensive racing data and solutions to their extensive global network of platform partners.
We entered into a landmark partnership with Sportradar to supply our comprehensive global horse racing
data feed for their market-leading ORAKO Managed Trading Solution, vastly broadening our indirect
distribution to operators worldwide.
●
Driving Product & Data Innovation
During the 2025 financial year, we executed a transformative upgrade of our technology suite, headlined by
the successful deployment and enhancement of our next-generation Apollo™ wagering platform. This
strategic initiative has been pivotal, delivering a dual benefit of superior product offerings for our partners and
substantial operational efficiencies for our business. Key advancements to the Apollo™ platform included the
roll-out of an advanced embedded racing solution, which offers a more immersive and intuitive user
experience. To accelerate our global expansion, we engineered a sophisticated multi-language and multicurrency architecture, enabling rapid and seamless deployment into new regions. The integration of
advanced machine-learning pricing models and Racelab’s dynamic form content has empowered our
partners with superior trading capabilities and more precise, real-time betting triggers. The platform's
robustness and scalability were validated by the seamless and rapid migration of key clients, demonstrating
its market-leading efficiency. These enhancements have directly translated into significant growth in customer
engagement, with partners on the Apollo™ platform seeing an increase in total bets placed and rise in active
users, firmly positioning our technology at the forefront of the global wagering ecosystem

BetMakers Technology Group Ltd
Directors' report
30 June 2025
The Global Tote division strengthened its position as a world leader in pari-mutuel technology and services,
focusing on securing major international partners and launching its next-generation platform.
●
Secured Core UK Partnership Renewal
A landmark achievement for the year was the successful renewal of our long-term, multi-year partnership
with the UK TOTE Group. This agreement reaffirms BetMakers’ position as the core technology and services
provider for the exclusive pari-mutuel operator in the United Kingdom, one of the world's most prestigious
racing jurisdictions. Our partnership underpins the UK Tote’s operations across all channels, including at
iconic events such as the Royal Ascot festival and the Grand National. The renewal covers our full suite of
tote technology and our highly valued Managed Trading Services (MTS), ensuring the UK Tote continues to
benefit from our market-leading operational expertise. This partnership is a cornerstone of our Global Tote
strategy, providing significant, stable revenue and contributing substantial liquidity to the Global Tote Hub
from a tier-one international market.
●
Strong Retention and Market Position
Our Global Tote division continues to be a cornerstone of our international operations, demonstrating
remarkable stability and strength through its consistent renewal of key tote contracts. During the financial
year, we successfully renewed numerous agreements with major racing and wagering partners across our
key jurisdictions in the United States and continental Europe. This high retention rate underscores the trust
our partners place in our robust and reliable tote technology and the expertise of our service teams. These
renewals, often representing multi-year extensions, not only secure significant recurring revenue streams but
also reaffirm our integral position within the global pari-mutuel wagering ecosystem, providing a solid
foundation for continued growth and technological investment.
●
Developed Next-Generation 'GTX' Platform
FY25 marked the culmination of a significant research and development program with the development of
GTX, our new, state-of-the-art Tote and Digital wagering platform. Supported by strategic technology
acquisitions, GTX is built on a modern, cloud-native architecture designed for superior performance,
scalability, and flexibility. For our partners, this means faster bet processing, enhanced data and analytics
capabilities, and the agility to rapidly configure new bet types and integrate third-party services. The platform’s
modular, API-driven design provides a foundation for our partners' future growth, enabling a seamless omnichannel experience for their customers. GTX represents the future of our tote technology and will be the
cornerstone of our offering to racing and wagering operators globally for years to come.

Directors' report

Corporate Highlights
FY25 was a year of transformation for BetMakers, defined by disciplined execution of our corporate strategy. We
successfully reshaped the business to establish a clear and sustainable path to profitability, delivering on our
commitments to shareholders.
●
Successful Financial Turnaround & Return to Profitability
The Company achieved a pivotal financial milestone, returning to profitability and positive cash flow. This was
highlighted by a record final quarter, which delivered $4.5 million in adjusted EBITDA and $3.4 million in
positive operating cash flow. This result was underpinned by a rigorous focus on financial discipline and the
successful execution of our cost-reduction program, delivering a leaner and more sustainable operating
model for the future.
●
Completion of Strategic Operational Transformation
We successfully completed our group-wide transformation program, a process that has fundamentally
reshaped our organisation. The result is a more streamlined, agile, and efficient global business with a
significantly lower and more sustainable operating cost base. This new structure not only drove our return to
profitability in FY25 but also provides significant operating leverage, positioning the Company for enhanced
margin expansion as we focus on future revenue growth.
●
Strengthened Balance Sheet & Investor Confidence
Prudent capital management has been a cornerstone of our strategy. We ended the financial year in a robust
financial position with $18.8 million in unrestricted cash and zero debt. In June 2025, the Company
successfully completed a $11.5 million institutional placement and SPP, which was strongly supported by
both existing and new investors. This vote of confidence from the investment community has further
strengthened our balance sheet, providing ample flexibility to support working capital and pursue strategic
growth initiatives.
Strategic Focus and Outlook
Having successfully completed our operational transformation in FY25, BetMakers enters the new financial year
in a position of strength, with a clear strategy and a robust financial foundation. Our focus now pivots from
restructuring and cost management to disciplined, profitable growth.
Our outlook for FY26 and beyond is centred on three core pillars designed to leverage our market-leading
technology and lean operating base to deliver sustainable shareholder returns.
●
Drive Revenue Growth and Operating Leverage
Our primary objective is to drive top-line revenue growth across both our Global Betting Services and Global
Tote divisions. With a significantly lower and more efficient cost base now firmly established, we are poised
to benefit from substantial operating leverage. This means that as revenues increase, we expect a
disproportionately positive impact on our EBITDA and free cash flow. We have created a scalable model
where we can onboard new clients and expand existing partnerships with minimal incremental cost, creating
a clear and sustainable path to increasing profitability.
●
Accelerate Global Client & Partnership Acquisition
Organic growth will be fuelled by a dual strategy of expanding our wallet share with existing partners and
accelerating the acquisition of new clients.
1. Deepen Existing Partnerships: We will work closely with our key domestic and international partners to
embed our services further into their operations, up selling and cross-selling additional products from
our extensive suite of solutions.
2. Win New Clients: Our global sales pipeline is strong. We will aggressively target new operators and race
clubs in key regulated markets across Australia, the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Our new, highly
efficient technology platforms, Apollo™ and GTX, provide a compelling value proposition for clients
seeking a competitive edge.

BetMakers Technology Group Ltd
Directors' report
30 June 2025
●
Maximise Value Through Technology Leadership
Technology and product innovation remain at the heart of our competitive advantage. A key priority for FY26
is the strategic rollout of our new GTX tote platform to existing and new race club partners, unlocking new
efficiencies and next-generation capabilities. We will continue to invest intelligently in our product roadmap,
enhancing our platforms with innovative features that provide our clients with a superior solution and ensure
BetMakers remains at the forefront of the global B2B wagering technology market.
Principal Risks
Identifying and mitigating business risks that may affect the Group’s strategy and financial performance is an
essential part of the governance framework. This section outlines some of the key risks identified by the Group.
They are not listed in order or importance or likelihood to materialise.
Risk Area
Description
Impact of Operating The Group has incurred operating losses in recent periods and may do so in the future.
Losses
This presents several risks, including but not limited to:
1. Sustainability of Operations: Continued losses may impact the Group’s ability to
sustain its operations, potentially leading to the need for additional financing or
cost-cutting measures.
2. Access to Capital: Persistent losses can affect the Group’s ability to raise capital on
favourable terms. Investors may be reluctant to provide additional funding, or the
cost of such funding may be prohibitively high.
3. Market Confidence: Ongoing losses can erode market confidence in the Group’s
business model and management, which could also impact access to capital.
4. Strategic Flexibility: Financial losses may limit the Group’s ability to invest in growth
opportunities, research and development, or other strategic initiatives that are critical
for long-term success
Customer Credit
Risk
The Group is subject to credit risk associated with its customers and in particular that
customers may fail to meet their payment obligations which could adversely affect the
Group’s performance and its financial position. This risk can be impacted by several
factors including:
1. Creditworthiness of Customers: The risk that customers may default on their
payments due to financial difficulties, leading to bad debt expenses and impacting
the Group’s cash flow.
2. Economic Conditions: Adverse economic conditions, such as a recession, can
increase the likelihood of customer defaults as businesses and consumers face
financial strain.
3. Credit Policies: The effectiveness of the Group’s credit policies and procedures in
assessing and managing customer credit risk.
4. Collection Processes: The efficiency and effectiveness of the Group’s processes for
collecting outstanding receivables. Poor collection practices can result in delayed
payments and increased bad debts.
Deterioration in
Financial Position
The Group faces the risk of a deterioration in its financial position due to various factors,
including but not limited to fluctuations in market conditions that can adversely impact the
Group’s revenue and profitability; economic recessions or slowdowns that can reduce
demand for the Group’s products or services; or inefficiencies or disruptions in operations
that can lead to increased costs and reduced margins. If these risks materialise, in certain
circumstances the Group may be required to raise additional equity capital to further
support its business.
Customer Risk
The Group faces the risk of encountering challenges in attracting new customers due to
several factors including but not limited to increased market competition, changing
preferences of the Group’s customers, negative publicity or a decline in the reputation of
the Group, economic downturns or rapid advancements in technology that may require
significant investment.
