Mali.- Mali\u2019s state-owned gaming and betting operator, PMU Mali, is introducing new electronic payment terminals <\/strong>(TPEs) for retailers supporting its horse-racing betting operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ALR PMU Mali platform became operational on July 14. In a statement published on its official Facebook page, PMU Mali said each retailer would receive a TPE to facilitate transactions<\/strong> linked to the service, with the terminals to be deployed progressively according to a schedule established by its Commercial Department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ALR, or \u201cAvant La R\u00e9union\u201d (Before the Race Meeting), refers to PMU Mali\u2019s horse-racing betting network, operated through its retail outlets. PMU Mali said the new terminals are intended to facilitate transactions linked to ALR and improve the quality of services provided to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operator stressed that the new TPEs \u201cwill not replace payment terminals of other partners\u201d, adding that those existing devices \u201cwill remain fully operational<\/strong>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move follows PMU Mali\u2019s expansion of its retail network<\/a>, with new betting outlets opened in Kayes on July 10 and Mahina on July 25. The Mahina outlet has three betting counters for customers to follow live races and place wagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest move therefore adds payment equipment to PMU Mali\u2019s expanding retail network while keeping existing partner terminals in operation.<\/p>\n\n\n
