The New Zealand Racing Board is pleased to announce that it has approved the selection of OpenBet (OB, a NYX Gaming Group company) and Paddy Power Betfair (PPBF) to deliver the technology solution and supporting data for its Fixed Odds Betting (FOB) business.

The investment will enhance NZRB’s current fixed odds betting business, to meet ever-increasing customer demand and enable NZRB to better compete with international wagering organisations.

OpenBet will provide NZRB with access to a first-class FOB engine, used by many of the major wagering organisations across the world, and partner NZRB with an organisation at the forefront of international wagering growth and innovation,” says NZRB Chair, Glenda Hughes.

“Both partner organisations have strengths in digital, sport and in-play wagering, which are three of the biggest growth opportunities for NZRB.”
