Horse racing lands on all GR8 platforms in South Africa, enhancing player experiences across its iGaming ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

South Africa.- GR8 Tech Solutions<\/strong> has launched horse racing on all its platforms in South Africa, marking a major milestone in its latest round of iGaming platform upgrades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now available on the web, Android, and iOS, this rollout is the first stage of a broader push to bring dynamic horse racing experiences to bettors. For now, only pre-match betting is available, but a post-race summary, live event streaming and odds on favourites are already built in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With features like “To Win,” “Place 1 – 4,” and “Finish Exactly 3rd,” it covers the UK, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and G1-G3 races from countries including the U.S, Brazil and France. And this is just the start, future updates promise form stats, Forecasts, Tricasts and even virtual racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GR8, which supports over 50 live operator brands<\/strong> worldwide, is known for setting the bar in B2B iGaming <\/strong>with high-performance, innovative solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other new features rolled out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In its latest newsletter, it said the new updates go well beyond racing. It has also introduced powerful tools across sportsbook, casino, CRM and back-office management to streamline operations and boost profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the standout features is the debut of Flashscore-style match trackers. Built directly into the platform, these trackers offer real-time and pre-match analytics across six sports, from football and basketball to handball and volleyball. Think possession stats, live lineups, pitch animations and tournament tables – all without players needing to leave the betting site. The result? Faster live betting decision and increased user retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FreeBet<\/strong> functionality also got a serious upgrade. Operators can now issue percentage-based FreeBets tied to player history, with new rules for rounding and max-value caps. Whether it’s tied to deposits, bet collections, or combo promos, this feature offers more flexibility and promotional precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casino operators<\/strong> also now have finer control with the ability to block specific players like VIPs from tournaments. On the Player Account Management (P<\/em>AM) side, new restrictions prevent users from betting or withdrawing until they’ve made their first deposit, helping reduce fraud and boost conversion rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a clear focus on innovation, efficiency and user engagement, the GR8 updates continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in iGaming.<\/p>\n\n\n
