Caesars introduces Racebook for desktop and Android

The leading casino-entertainment company in the US, CaesarsEntertainment, announced a new deal with the official online wagering platform of the New York Racing Association, NYRA Bets. Details of the deal emerged Tuesday and see the launch of Caesars Racebook, the horse racing account wagering app, for Android and desktop devices in multiple states.

The recent launch comes ahead of the 2022 Breeders' Cup and will see horse racing fans from Florida, Oregon and Indiana access Caesars Racebook. What's more, customers in Kentucky, Ohio, North Dakota and Montana will also tap into Caesars Racebook.

According to a statement released by Caesars on November 1, 2022, its Caesars Racebook "utilizes the NYRA Bets platform providing customers with pari-mutuelwagering on premier horse racing content from more than 250 tracks around the world with betting on marquee tracks in the United States and internationally."

Besides the Breeders' Cup, horse racing fans will be able to select Saratoga Race Course, Del Mar, Gulfstream Park, Aqueduct, Belmont Park and Santa Anita. Additionally, the wagering menu includes tracks operated by Caesars such as Horseshoe Indianapolis, Harrah’s Philadelphia, Harrah’s Hoosier Park and Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs.

Caesars Racebook also includes the company's award-winning loyalty program called Caesars Rewards. Celebrating the recent launch, Caesars unveiled a new promotion that will be valid through the end of the year on Caesars Racebook.

The company explained that customers of the platform "will receive 4x the Racebook Points for every $1 wagered on races at Caesars Entertainment racetracks, with no opt-in required." Those points can then be exchanged for free wagering credits via the Caesars Racebook store. In addition, new customers of Caesars Racebook can receive a first deposit match of up to $300, while in Ohio, this is capped at $500.

Dan Shapiro, Caesars Digital's Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer, said about the recent launch: "Expanding Caesars Racebook's access to Android users and desktop is key for the platform's continued growth." He added: "We're excited to offer even more customers a horse racing wagering experience that treats them like royalty, no matter what type of device they prefer, thanks to the integration with our industry-leading Caesars Rewards loyalty program."

Caesars' latest announcement comes after last week, it unveiled the launch of its Caesars Sportsbook in Ohio. This marked a strategic move for the company ahead of the expected market launch in January. As a result of the launch, Caesars Sportsbook is now available for customers in the state that can download and deposit but will be able to wager once Ohio officially launches its sports betting market.
