The online gambling community continues to expand as Churchill Downs, one of America’s top horseracing venues, begins its process of advanced wagering. YouBet.com and TwinSpires.com will be working with Churchill Downs Incorporated in order to allow the company to access their feed for advance betting purposes.
With this system in place, Churchill Downs will now accept wagers beginning on opening day all the way through July 5th when the spring meet closes.
“Taking care of our customers and making it convenient for them to access our content are among the top priorities of Churchill Downs,” said Kevin Flanery, Senior Vice-President for Churchill Downs.
“Today’s announcement brings us closer to those goals. We are pleased that our fans will have easy access to Churchill Downs’ content from some of the nation’s most popular advance-deposit wagering platforms including our own TwinSpires.com, which offers innovations such as TwinSpires.tv and superior wagering tools through BRIS.”
“We hope our customers join us for an outstanding season of racing under the twin spires and enjoy wagering on the quality product that we will provide.”
By bringing on YouBet.com, the company could actually increase their online sales, as well as assist in putting TwinSpires.com on the map for gamblers.
“We are very excited to offer the first leg of the Triple Crown, the most prestigious event in all of horse racing, as content for our customers,” said Michael Brodsky, Chief Executive Officer for YouBet.com.
“The Churchill Downs spring meet, and especially the Kentucky Derby, is a perfect complement to the abundance of global content YouBet.com has added this year alone.”
This partnership will allow both companies to benefit by giving the other something that they had not previously had. YouBet.com will acquire access to some of the most well known horseracing events in the world, and Churchill Downs and TwinSpires.com will increase their online community outreach.
