Golden Race Virtual Sports and Betting Software

Golden Race was set up in Malta in 2006 as a cross-platform gaming supplier. It is best known for virtual betting products that run in retail shops, on self-service terminals, over satellite and online.

The idea is simple: give players the feel of real sports betting on virtual events. More than 20 virtual football leagues and competitions sit alongside dozens of other virtual sports, and land-based and online operators can offer them 24/7 on any device.

The partner network is large. Over 50,000 betting shops and around 400 websites use Golden Race content, handling more than 15 million tickets every day. The company is among the market leaders in Italy, Africa and Latin America, among other regions.

What began as a niche concept now goes well beyond standard online betting. Today's range covers live-rendered 3D virtual football, live lotto, Real Fighting and pre-recorded real video races that play 24/7. The 2016 SBC award for Best New Virtual Sports Product (Innovation in Virtual Sports) was the first of many industry honours.

Since 2006 the company has steadily added licences, products and markets:

Golden Race is privately owned, employs up to 200 people and is managed by experienced iGaming executives. It does not publish financial results.

Leadership

• Rene Wachter: COO
• Alberto Garcia-Baquero Vega: CTO

Golden Race covers a lot of ground for a single supplier. Industry veterans built a platform that spans sports betting, 3D virtual sports and casino-style games. Virtual sports come in 3D and HD formats, while the casino range is split into live, HD and virtual games.

Among the most played virtual games are Spin2Win, Spin2Win Deluxe, Keno, Keno Deluxe and Perfect 6. Keno is a favourite online and in shops because players set their own risk:

• The board holds 80 numbers, and players choose up to 8 before the round begins.
• Each draw picks 20 of the 80 numbers.
• Picking more numbers raises the potential payout, but every chosen number has to be drawn for the ticket to win.

The portfolio is built to add revenue for any operator, whatever the channel. Golden Race supplies betting solutions for:

• Betting shops
• Self-service betting terminals
• Online operators

Its content falls into four groups:

• 3D virtual sports betting
• Pre-recorded real sports events
• Casino and number games
• Live-streamed games

• One package covering game content (including Horse Racing, Speedway and Keno), administration, cashier and technical support
• Unit settings managed in real time, one by one or across the whole estate
• Support for multiple currencies and languages
• Low running costs and a strong profitability ratio

• A wide choice of best-selling games in free and real-money versions
• Betting on real video sports footage
• The same games in shops and online
• Personal customisation options

Golden Race builds its retail and online products on HTML technology. Online players can reach the games on any desktop or mobile device, and retail partners get dedicated products and machines for a smooth in-shop experience. The company is also known for its motion capture work, its visual and sound effects systems and its support team.

Mobile sits at the heart of the business. Every online virtual sport and betting product runs on Android and iOS devices without glitches or freezes.

The wide range of customisation options leaves plenty of room for promotional campaigns built around Golden Race content. You can also connect our standalone bonus system to design the bonuses that suit your players.

Safety and fairness underpin the business. Golden Race operates in dozens of markets and holds licences from respected regulators, including the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority and Italy's AAMS. It also follows current responsible gambling policies.

Beyond licensing in the UK, Spain, Malta, Italy, Greece, Romania and its other markets, the company has had its RNG software tested and certified by independent labs such as SIQ.

Recent industry honours include:

Golden Race content is available at well-known operators such as:

• Betway
• Interwetten
• Pinnacle
• 888.com
• PariMatch
• 1xBet
• Mozzart

Our casino API takes the heavy lifting out of adding Golden Race. After a single integration you can offer its virtual sports alongside 3,600+ games from 170+ game providers, without signing and integrating a separate contract for every supplier.

Data matters as much as content. Our back office records how much, when and where your players bet, so you can improve your service and build targeted offers for small segments or even individual players. Virtual sports also pair naturally with a sportsbook, keeping bettors engaged between real fixtures.
