1. An information processor apparatus that can communicate with a terminal device used by a user over a communication network, the apparatus comprising:
a processor;
a communication interface for connecting to the communication network;
a memory for a temporary storage; and
a storage device that stores group information related to a group of users;
wherein
the processor acquires betting information from a terminal device of a first user through the communication interface, the betting information indicating that the first user has made a bet based on provider-designated betting ticket information that indicates betting ticket information designated by a provider that provides betting ticket information related to a betting ticket for betting a prescribed value on a predicted result of racing;
when the betting information is acquired, the processor stores the betting information in the memory, acquires the group information from the storage device, and displays, on a chat screen of an application program installed on a terminal device of a second user in a group chat of a same group as the first user by using the group information, a message including information indicating that the first user purchased the betting ticket by referring to a prediction of the provider, the provider-designated betting ticket information indicating details of the prediction on an order of arrival made by the provider, and a button to be tapped to piggyback on the prediction of the provider; and
the processor causes the terminal device of the second user to display a betting ticket purchase screen for purchasing the betting ticket based on the provider-designated betting ticket information when the button is tapped on the terminal device of the second user.
