Caesars Sportsbook, a division of Caesars Entertainment, has partnered with NYRA Bets LLC to launch a new horseracing account wagering app in Florida and Ohio called Caesars Racebook. Both companies plan to release Caesars Racebook in additional states later this year.
Horseracing fans will have access to the NYRA Bets platform, which features pari-mutuel wagering and horseracing content from more than 250 tracks worldwide. Enthusiasts will also be able to bet on marquee tracks nationwide and globally with the new app.
Players throughout Florida and Ohio with iPhone or Android can download Caesars Racebook through The App Store and Google Play Store.
NYRA Bets General Manager Matt Feig said: "The new Caesars Racebook app, which utilizes the NYRA Bets interface and technology, will expand access to horseracing now and in the future.
"The partnership between NYRA Bets and Caesars is a win for horseracing, its stakeholders and countless racetracks around the world."
Facilities represented on the app’s wagering menu include Belmont Park, Saratoga Race Course, Del Mar, Santa Anita, Keenelandas, as well as Caesars operated tracks Harrah's Hoosier Park, Horseshoe Indianapolis, Harrah's Philadelphia and Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs.
Caesars Digital Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer Dan Shapiro commented: "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 Racebook is truly differentiated as the first horseracing advance deposit wagering app to include our award-winning Caesars Rewards loyalty program. 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."
Caesars Entertainment was founded in 1937. It originated in Reno, Nevada and has expanded over the years to include facilities that operate under the Caesars, Harrah's, Horseshoe and Eldorado brand names.
The company recently released its Caesars Sportsbook mobile app in Illinois. Caesars has had a foothold in Illinois for a while through the Harrah's Joliet, Harrah's Metropolis and Grand Victoria Casino Elgin locations. The debut of its mobile app is an added layer to Caesars’ continuing plans for brand expansion.
NYRA Bets is the official online wagering platform of the New York Racing Association.
