They also have a "ceiling" in the US and will only accommodate a certain number of tracks on any given day. We will continue to challenge them but they have every right to run their business as they see fit and whilst we do have a very good relationship with Betfair and a degree of influence, they ultimately decide these things.
How to Persuade or Entice Betfair to incorporate more TPD Supported Tracks?

This is evident in the US where Betfair will sometimes limit the number of tracks covered on busy days, presumably to protect liquidity. They could choose to select TPD tracks where they have coverage agreements over other tracks, but they don't.
Betfair covered some German tracks when worldwide racing was limited during the pandemic and kept it up for a short while afterwards. But they soon disappeared so presumably didn't attract enough volume to make it worth their while.
UAE tracks occasionally appear on the Exchange but I don't know if I've ever seen Jebel Ali.
I've never seen Century Downs covered so presumably Betfair have no commercial agreement with that track.

Will Jebel Ali become available on TPD through Bet Angel?
The track is not listed on the TPD status page.

Sorry, didn’t actually get any time to talk to betfair, was too busy feeling very small talking to syndicates.lotora wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:46 amWent well?LinusP wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 7:07 amI am seeing betfair today so I will ask and see what they say.jamesedwards wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 2:59 pm
