Racing UK and Totesport in link-up

Racing UK has joined forces with totesport to offer a subscription deal to punters.

The broadcaster has finalised a commercial partnership agreement which will offer the equivalent of free subscription to the channel to totesport’s 100,000-plus account customers under certain circumstances.

The deal is expected to provide a further boost to subscriber levels, which according to Racing UK have continued to show steady growth since exceeding the 10,000 mark within a week of the launch of the channel’s subscription service on October 1.

Account customers will receive a £20 credit when they subscribe to Racing UK, which is owned by 31 of the country’s racecourses.

They will receive a further £20 cash back for every month in which they place a minimum of 15 bets of £5 (€7.23) or more and the subscription remains active.

Simon Bazalgette, Racing UK’s executive chairman, said: “We are extremely pleased that totesport has taken the decision to offer this incentive to its clients and we look forward to welcoming new subscribers.”

Joe Scanlon, managing director of totesport, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer our customers the opportunity to enjoy live coverage of racing’s premier fixtures whilst giving them cash back on their subscription.

“There’s even the prospect for customers to make money if they pay a whole year’s subscription in advance.

“Totesport is confident this cash back offer in conjunction with Racing UK will boost our customers’ enjoyment of racing.”
