MGM Resorts International’s sports betting platform is making a big entrance at the Cheltenham Festival! In an unprecedented move, they’re backing the esteemed Plate Handicap Chase on Gold Cup Day. This isn’t a fleeting fling; it’s the genesis of a strong bond between the betting giant and the Jockey Club, with aspirations to support even more premier races down the line.
This venture isn’t completely unexpected from the online sportsbook. They’ve been testing the waters in the equestrian world recently, even securing the title sponsorship for Ascot’s Clarence House Chase Day earlier this year.
To commemorate their Cheltenham premiere, the company is laying out the welcome mat for horse racing aficionados with a plethora of enticing deals, including sign-up bonuses, money-back incentives, and unique promotions, particularly for those unfamiliar with the brand.
Sam Behar, the UK Director of the sports betting platform, is absolutely enthused about the collaboration, stating, “We’re over the moon about sponsoring the Plate Handicap Chase. What better way to celebrate our inaugural Cheltenham Festival than by backing such a storied race? We’re dedicated to providing racing devotees across the nation with a first-rate betting experience, and we’re going above and beyond to offer industry-leading deals.”
Chris Welch, via LinkedIn, expressed excitement that the BetMGM Sportsbook and Casino application recently achieved the top ranking for complimentary sports applications on iOS devices within the United Kingdom market.
