PointsBet launches new US horse racing app PointsBet Racing in 25 states

Sports betting operator PointsBet has launched PointsBet Racing, its new horse racing product, just in time for the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.

The standalone product is now available in 25 states, giving PointsBet one of the largest market access reaches among sports betting operators and the top five among US horse racing apps, according to the company.

PointsBet Racing, described as "a modern, all-in-one horse racing experience," is set to offer "a best-in-market product offering" powered by 1/ST TECHNOLOGY, the thoroughbred racing company owned by The Stronach Group. 

The app features over 180 tracks from the US, UK, Ireland, Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia, including content from each leg of the Triple Crown, with live streaming and replay capabilities, single-user account sign-on, deep link integration across PointsBet digital products, and top statistical and favorite factor compilation.
