SG Digital’s OpenBet reportedly processed a record number of transactions at this year’s Cheltenham Festival, saying during the annual four-day event, the platform handled over 39 million wagers which peaked at 15,800 bets placed per minute, an increase of nearly 10 percent on the previous year.
On the day of the Gold Cup, won by Native River, Openbet said more than 10.9 million bets were placed, an increase of 2.3 million bets over 2017.
Keith O’Loughlin, SVP Sportsbook and Platforms at SG Digital, said: “OpenBet has a proven track record for providing a robust performance during the world’s biggest sporting events, and I’m delighted that the latest figures show we have once again delivered scale and stability for our customers.
“The Cheltenham Festival is a hugely important sporting fixture for our customers. With such a vast volume of transactions to handle, there is no room for downtime. This year’s stats show that we have further cemented our position as a trusted and reliable provider.”
