Greyhound Channel is owned by US Off-Track, a joint venture between three of America's most successful greyhound racetracks. The Oregon Racing Commission receives one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the money wagered through the hubs as pari-mutuel tax. One third of this pari-mutuel tax is transferred to the State General Fund, while the remaining two thirds is used as a pari-mutuel Industry Development Fund.

With the advent of legislation in the State of Oregon to permit multi-jurisdictional hubs, Greyhound Channel applied for and was issued a license to conduct account wagering. In April 2000, Greyhound Channel opened its "Oregon Call Center", equipped with a state-of-the-art AmTote International multi-community totalisator hub supported by a highly trained staff of wagering operators and customer service representatives. In addition, Greyhound Channel deployed Internet, IVR (Interactive Voice Recognition) and wireless Internet wagering technology.

Through its partnership with America's premier tracks, and under the terms of USOT license granted by the Oregon Racing Commission, in accordance with Oregon Statutes (ORS 462.725), Greyhound Channel conducts simulcasting and pari-mutuel wagering from Greyhound, Thoroughbred, and Harness tracks. We offer information and wagering opportunities into the co-mingled pools of Greyhound tracks throughout the country. A portion of all wagers struck benefits the individual tracks and the dedicated dog men and women of America. We have close links with our industry's support organizations and we are extremely proud of our membership and sponsorship of the AGTOA (American Greyhound Track Operators Association) and the AGC (American Greyhound Council).

Data can be retrieved and wagers placed through a multitude of devices, as a result of state-of-the-art technology we have in place. Greyhound Channel offers:  teller-assisted telephone, touch-tone and voice-recognition wagering. You may also place a wager online from your home.
