Sky Racing World to Start Merge of US and UK Wagering Pools
Sky Racing World has announced a significant expansion of its international racing content portfolio by facilitating the integration of the US betting pool with the Arena Racing Company-hosted pool in the UK. The mixed pool of British greyhound products, presented by Arena Racing Company and simulcast by Sky Racing World in the US, kicked off on Tuesday August 30.
The UK Greyhound Racing product is added to the existing Greyhound Racing portfolio offered by Sky Racing World, with an Australian Greyhound Racing simulcast in the US from June 2020. Greyhound racing fans in the US will be delighted to now be able to experience premium British Greyhounds 7 days a week from multiple new locations including Nottingham, Great Yarmouth, Kingsley, Newcastle, Perry Barr, Sunderland and Swindon.
UK Greyhound Racing Schedule (Thursday 1st September):
Nottingham. First Race 6:06am ET/ 3:06am PT
Newcastle. First Race 9:04am ET / 6:04am PT
Swindon. First Race 9:27am ET / 6:27am PT
Sunderland. First Race 1:19pm ET / 10:19am PT
Perry Barr. First Race 1:26pm ET / 10:26am PT
US players can access the UK greyhound betting pool through ADW (advance deposit wagering) partners who offer greyhound betting. At launch, the bet types offered are Win, Place, Exacta and Trifecta. Merged pools will undoubtedly provide better liquidity, greater odds stability and more attractive betting offers for players on both sides of the pond.
All races will be streamed live on the new Sky Racing World app, skyracingworld.com and major ADW platforms. Fans can also access past shows and tips for free at skyracingworld.com.
David Haslett, CEO of Sky Racing World, said:
“We are proud to introduce the simulcast of UK Greyhound racing to the USA and believe the commingling of pools will provide a boost to wagering play which will benefit handicappers and the UK Greyhound Racing Industry.”
Director of Media Technology and Production at ARC, Mark Kingston, said,
“We are delighted to work with Sky Racing World in this new partnership which will showcase our high-quality greyhound product to customers in the USA. We will drive a number of benefits to punters in both the USA and UK, including improved liquidity to the pools.”
