Self-service betting terminals at Northern California's Golden Gate Fields will provide an option for fans and bettors to contribute to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA), a national organization focused on providing assistance to those transitioning horses into post-racing careers. The technology, developed by AmTote International, enables users to make a tax-deductible contribution to the TAA during any transaction by employing a pop-up interface. For those who participate, the terminal will issue a receipt with both the donation amount and the TAA's 501(c)3 number.
“The TAA is grateful for the support from Golden Gate Fields, AmTote International, and America's horseplayers,” said TAA President Mike Meuser. “Funds raised from this technology will continue to allow horseplayers to help support the TAA's network of 70 accredited organizations in North America, including the current 10 accredited aftercare organizations in California.”
