Pari-mutuel horse racing added to Caesars Sportsbook app in Kentucky and Colorado29 April 2025(PRESS RELEASE) -- Caesars Entertainment, Inc. announced it has successfully integrated pari-mutuel horse race wagering into the Caesars Sportsbook app in two U.S. jurisdictions ahead of this year’s Kentucky Derby. Now, horse racing fans in Kentucky and Colorado can conveniently toggle between the elevated sports wagering experience on the Caesars Sportsbook app and the Caesars Racebook wagering interface, powered by NYRA Bets. The seamless shared wallet experience combines the best-in-class Caesars Sportsbook experience with pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing all in one place and tied to Caesars Rewards®, the gaming industry’s leading loyalty program. Customers earn Reward Credits and Tier Credits for every horse racing wager. “Integrating pari-mutuel horse racing into the Caesars Sportsbook app is a significant milestone for both our digital business and the sport of horse racing,” said Dan Shapiro, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer at Caesars Digital. “Our customers will be able to bet on horse racing, whether it’s the sport’s biggest events or daily races from tracks around the world. Now, our product seamlessly puts the action directly in front of an expanded audience and reinforces Caesars’ commitment to horse racing. We look forward to continuing our work with the New York Racing Association and NYRA Bets to expand the availability across more states as we gain regulatory approvals.” “Horse racing plays an important role in the betting marketplace, and we appreciate Caesars’ longstanding commitment to elevating the sport and growing fan engagement,” said Tony Allevato, President of NYRA Bets. “Launching the shared wallet functionality allows Caesars Sportsbook to provide its large customer base with premier racing content through a comprehensive and easy-to-access wagering menu. We congratulate Caesars on their successful expansion.” Caesars’ move to add Caesars Racebook’s functionality into the Caesars Sportsbook app opens the door for horse racing fans to enjoy an industry-leading sports and horse racing wagering experience that meets the highest level of industry standards. The move brings livestreaming of races from more than 300 racetracks around the world in addition to races at Caesars Sportsbook partner racetracks Del Mar, Monmouth Park, Keeneland and Red Mile. Streaming is also available from Aqueduct, Saratoga Race Course, Gulfstream Park, and Santa Anita, as well as Caesars-operated tracks at Harrah’s Hoosier Park, Horseshoe Indianapolis, Harrah’s Philadelphia, and Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs. Users can also access horse racing statistics and handicapping data right from within the app. As a longtime supporter of horse racing, Caesars is the presenting sponsor of the National Horseplayers Championship hosted annually at Horseshoe Las Vegas and operates horse racing tracks at Harrah’s Columbus, Harrah’s Hoosier Park, Horseshoe Indianapolis, Harrah’s Philadelphia, and Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs. Those 21 and older in states and jurisdictions where sports betting is permitted in North America can download the Caesars Sportsbook app on iOS and Android or wager on desktop. The Caesars Racebook standalone app remains available for download on iOS, Android and desktop in 20 other U.S. states, including California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming. Caesars Entertainment is an industry leader in Responsible Gaming, known for pioneering Responsible Gaming awareness and education. In 1989, Caesars became the first commercial casino company to address problem gambling by launching the industry’s first Responsible Gaming program, Project 21. Today, the Company’s commitment to ensuring all players are aware of Responsible Gaming resources remains steadfast and spans all of Caesars’ digital platforms and world-class destinations in which it operates. Caesars Entertainment proudly enforces an enhanced 21+ gaming policy that prevents individuals under the age of 21 from using Caesars Rewards and restricts access to its gaming products for individuals under the age of 21. In March 2024, Caesars Sportsbook received the prestigious RG Check accreditation from the Responsible Gambling Council in Ontario, Canada, which recognizes companies that achieve the highest standards for their Responsible Gaming practices. Just a few months later, the Company was awarded the National Council on Problem Gambling’s award for Corporate Social Responsibility. |
