SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
FSB has announced a series of significant growth results which are linked to the Randox Grand National.
The sports betting and iGaming supplier reported a 30% year-on-year increase in bet numbers as well as 29% growth on active players engaging with its partner community.
In detail, these numbers were supplemented by an 8% jump in turnover on the showcase race which saw Derek Fox steer 8-1 favourite Corach Rambler to victory making him a two-time Grand National winner.
Mark Wilson, Sportsbook and Trading Director at FSB, commented: “As a UK-based sportsbook-first supplier, the Grand National is a hugely important event in our trading calendar and a vital day for our partner community.
“Because of that, it’s immensely satisfying to see tangible growth this year across many key metrics linked to the race.
“Following on from our record-breaking Cheltenham Festival performance, these results solidify our position as the leading platform provider for horse racing focussed operators.”
Via its horse racing brands such as Fitzdares and Bet Goodwin within its platform, FSB delivered partners an enhanced product proposition for the main race including Bet Boost, integrated forecast/tricast betting and curated special bets on top of its proprietary pricing.
FSB’s successful Grand National follows on from a record-breaking Cheltenham Festival performance that saw an all-time high platform revenue for the four-day event.
Similarly, OpenBet also reported ‘record-breaking’ results for the Grand National, with 48 million bets processed during the three days festival.
The sportsbook provider took in an 8% increase of bets placed in comparison to 2022.
