KT Group is excited to announce that its Whizz kiosks have been selected as the preferred self-service betting terminals for two iconic locations: the Kentucky Derby and Wrigley Field this season. This selection by Churchill Downs and DraftKings solidifies KT Group’s position as a leader in innovative self-service solutions.

Whizz kiosks offer superior quality, functionality, and versatility, ensuring a seamless and enhanced betting experience for patrons at these prestigious events. With industry leaders like Churchill Downs and DraftKings choosing Whizz kiosks, KT Group further strengthens its reputation as a trusted provider of cutting-edge self-service solutions in the betting industry.

The Kentucky Derby, often dubbed “The Run for the Roses,” stands as one of the most prestigious events in the world of horse racing. Held annually on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, the Derby attracts thousands of spectators and enthusiasts from around the globe.

“The Kentucky Derby’s rich heritage, dating back to 1875, is truly unmatched,” said Kenneth Larsen, founder of KT Group. “From the mint julep tradition to the stirring rendition of ‘My Old Kentucky Home,’ the event embodies Southern charm. We’re incredibly proud to be providing our products to be enjoyed by customers at such an iconic venue.”

Wrigley Field stands as an iconic symbol of baseball history and tradition. Located in Chicago, Illinois, Wrigley Field is the beloved home ballpark of the Chicago Cubs, one of Major League Baseball’s oldest and most storied franchises. Opening its gates in 1914, Wrigley Field has witnessed countless memorable moments and legendary players throughout its century-long history.

“Wrigley Field’s charm is undeniable,” said Kenneth Larsen, founder of KT Group. “From the ivy-covered walls to the iconic marquee, it’s a place steeped in baseball history. And while the roar of the crowd during a close game is unmatched, Wrigley Field’s recent evolution into a multifaceted entertainment destination is exciting. We’re thrilled to be a part of providing fans with an unforgettable experience, whether they’re there for a Cubs game, a concert, or something entirely new.”

“We are incredibly proud to have our Whizz family of kiosks chosen as the betting terminals for esteemed venues like the Kentucky Derby and Wrigley Field,” says Kenneth “It’s an honour to partner with iconic brands such as Churchill Downs and DraftKings to provide cutting-edge self-service solutions for these landmark events.”

He continued, “The selection of Whizz kiosks for these high-profile events underscores our commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology and exceptional service to our clients. With a focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, KT Group continues to revolutionise the self-service industry, empowering businesses to enhance their operations and provide unparalleled experiences to their customers.”

Does DraftKings’ customer surcharge plan constitute an abuse of power?

“DraftKings passing on the surcharge to its customers feels like an abuse of power in markets where customers are not always spoiled for choice,” said Neil Roarty, head of North American publishing at ClickOut Media.

“Regulation of sports betting was supposed to provide more customer protection. However, if the brand with the highest market share can just whack a charge on players because it doesn’t want to pay more in taxes, then the whole concept of legal sports betting becomes questionable.

“Would this happen in any other industry? A market leader should not be able to hike up prices with customers having no option but to pay it. Another option of course is that they simply choose to play elsewhere.”
