Caesars launches new horse racing betting app in Florida and Ohio

Caesars Racebook will use the NYRA Bets platform to provide customers with pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing content from more than 250 tracks around the world.

The wagering menu includes Belmont Park, Saratoga Race Course, Del Mar, Santa Anita, Keenelandas, as well as Caesars-operated tracks such as Harrah’s Hoosier Park, Horseshoe Indianapolis, Harrah’s Philadelphia, and Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs. 

Other features in the new app, which are also available through NYRA Bets, include options that include race replays and handicapping insights.

In addition, Caesars Racebook will be integrated into the Caesars Rewards’ loyalty programme, offering users the chance to earn exclusive experiences.

Following initial launches in Florida and Ohio, Caesars and NYRA Bets plan to extend the app to other states across the US throughout the year.

“The launch of Caesars Racebook is an important milestone as we continue to add wagering opportunities for our customers and livestreaming content for the first time,” Caesars Digital senior vice president and chief development officer Dan Shapiro, said. 

“We look forward to welcoming new horse racing customers and existing fans onto the platform and to working with NYRA Bets to grow horse racing as we deploy Caesars Racebook with plans to launch in about 30 states across the country.”

NYRA Bets general manager Matt Feig added: “The new Caesars Racebook app, which utilises the NYRA Bets interface and technology, will expand access to world-class horse racing now and in the future.

“The partnership between NYRA Bets and Caesars is a win for horse racing, its stakeholders and countless racetracks around the world.”
