Spanish term or phrase: captación de apuestas en agencia
Buenas a todos.

Necesito que me ayuden con esta frase. Es un texto de español a inglés (US) sobre una compañía proveedora de servicios de información y comunicación y sistematización de apuestas y juegos de azar. Dentro de la sección q habla de los logros q tuvo la empresa dice:

• La transformación de la totalidad de la red de captación de apuestas en agencia bajo la modalidad on line en el ámbito de la Provincia de Santa Fé.

Gracias desde ya.

agency-based wager capture


Explanation:
there are regulatory agencies, legal agency relationships, an "agencia" may be a local office/branch etc so I'm just guessing but maybe the shotgun approach may help? I gather the client is involved in software and networking.

wager taking by agents


Explanation:
I think wager is more used in the US, as you requested, and by agency I understand not the main bookmaker but associated agents that "capture" wagers at the main bookkeeper odds

agree  Jesús Cordero-Salvado: well, you would never use online wagering because... the US recently approved a bill against it ;). Jokes apart, I agree with betting parlors, but wagers is common in MOST of the ex-US based-now caribbean online gambling sites: Pinnacle, Greek, 5Dimes...
