When it comes to charity, the Sportsbooks know how to give back!
After the sun-soaked Britannia Stakes, several charities received donations from sportsbooks who were happy with their bets this year.
The charities set to benefit from £1.2m ($1,500) worth of donations include The Soldiers’ Charity and Sue Ryder’s Ascot Racecourse Supports Community Fund among others!
Members of the Betting and Gaming Council (BCG) have raised funds for this important cause. BCG members include Flutter, bet365 Entain William Hill 888 Holdings & friends!
The Britannia Stakes is one of the most prestigious races in Great Britain, and it’s where you can find some great bet slip odds for your favorite horse! The virtual Grand National also happens before all eyes on BOTH sides at Aintree Racecourse this year.
The CEO of BGC, Michael Dugher said it’s great that members have once again made such a big donation to several brilliant charities. The company supports the jobs for nearly 120 thousand people and they are proud to back so many good causes in local communities all year round!
The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and Ascot 2022 have been extra special for horseracing. With the crowds back, millions more watching it live on ITV this year with Her Majesty’s platinum jubilee celebration – Royal Ascot sounded like a perfect occasion to celebrate our great sport!
“We are delighted to have benefited from the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot this year and want you all know that your support means so much. The members of BGC were generous enough not only with their money but also time, energy & enthusiasm! Thank You!”
“We are greatly honored that the Queen has chosen us as one of her patrons in this incredible year, and we will do everything possible to make a difference with these funds. This is especially meaningful because it’s been such an amazing journey seeing how much Sue Ryder inspired others through cancer treatment!
