Caesars Racebook is Expanding to Indiana
After announcing that the Racebook app would be available in Florida and Ohio on June 1, Caesars Sportsbook has another announcement: the Racebook will now also be available in Indiana.
Caesars Growing Fast
In bringing the app to three states in less than two weeks, Caesars Sportsbook is launching this in collaboration with NYRA Bets LLC, the official wagering platform of the New York Racing Association, Inc. This partnership was initially formed in January 2022, when Caesars became the official sports betting marketing partner of NYRA Bets.
The app is available for download on iOS devices. It “utilizes the NYRA Bets platform providing bettors with pari-mutuel wagering on premier horse racing content from more than 250 tracks around the world with betting on marquee tracks in the United States and internationally.”
On the wagering menu, players will find Belmont Park, Saratoga Race Course, Del Mar, Santa Anita, and Keeneland, as well as Caesars-operated tracks Harrah’s Hoosier Park, Horseshoe Indianapolis, Harrah’s Philadelphia, and Eldorado Gaming Scioto Downs.
When you first sign up for the app, you will receive a welcome bonus that 100% matches up to $500.
Racebook Will Offer Caesars Rewards
Like Caesars Sportsbook, the Racebook app will also integrate the Caesars Rewards program, allowing players to earn points and redeem them for numerous prizes.
“The launch of Caesars Racebook is an important milestone as we continue to add wagering opportunities for our customers and live streaming content for the first time,” Dan Shapiro, Senior Vice President, and Chief Development Officer of Caesars Digital, said in a news release. “Caesars Racebook is truly differentiated as the first horse racing 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.”
The NYRA Bets partnership will allow Caesars Racebook to expand even further. In 2021, the market for pari-mutuel wagering brought in over $12 billion.
In addition to the betting menu, players will also have access to NYRA Bets’ other features, which include race replays, insights for handicapping, and more.
Per Caesars Racebook, NYRA Bets offers a “state-of-the-art wagering platform that allows its customers to conveniently and securely watch and wager on horse races.”
“The new Caesars Racebook app, which utilizes the NYRA Bets interface and technology, will expand access to world-class horse racing now and in the future,” Matt Feig, General Manager of NYRA Bets, said in the release. “The partnership between NYRA Bets and Caesars is a win for horse racing, its stakeholders, and countless racetracks around the world.”
Caesars will also host the National Thoroughbred Racing Association’s National Handicapping Championship at Horseshoe Las Vegas. The company also plans to build and operate a Harrah’s branded racetrack and casino in Columbus, Nebraska.
