William Hill begin to roll out the new interactive Racing Post display
William Hill continues to invest in its print-to-digital transition with the launch of the new interactive Racing Post Digital Betting Shop Display (BSD). The new displays are in addition to the digital window signage rolled out across the William Hill betting shop estate. The new screens, installed in Runcorn in Cheshire, are the first of 10 shops rolling out the product in August.
The print version of the Racing Post Betting Shop Display has been a mainstay for bookmakers since its launch more than 20 years ago and the new screens showcase the same great content in an interactive format. With the new touchscreens, William Hill customers benefit from the best UK and Irish horseracing and greyhound content in an easy to navigate format.
William Hill customers can also avail of Racing Post coverage from South Africa, UAE and Hong Kong, while the new displays also showcase full virtual racing cards. For more casual racing customers, the new interactive touchscreens display key Racing Post content, including Verdicts and Spotlights so customers can make informed betting decisions. With innovation continuing at pace, the interactive display now caters for a shop of any size with all the content now available on a single screen.
Neal Plunkett, William Hill Head of Smart Retail and Omni Channel, discussed how it’s vital for the retail business to update its product portfolio.
He said “It’s been great to see customers return to betting shops over the past couple of months. What we have to ensure is offering those retail betting shop customers the best customer experience. The Racing Post has always been a key part of the high street betting shop and these interactive displays are the next stage on that journey. We’re delighted to roll these out across a number of shops.
Plunkett continued by discussing how vital Racing Post content is. “We’re used to seeing the Racing Post wallpaper our betting shop walls for years and every racing customer uses the Racing Post to make their betting decision. The new screens take it to the next level, customers can now easily navigate around all UK and Irish meetings as well as international racing, greyhounds and virtuals. We’re excited for our customers to begin using the screens.”
Alan Pepperell, Racing Post Retail Director, expressed his delight that William Hill has joined other major retail bookmakers rolling out the interactive BSD.
“We’re delighted that William Hill has become the latest high street betting shop to rollout the interactive betting shop displays. We know from our experience in other shops how well it’s gone down with retail bettors. The screens are catered to their needs and provide the same great content you get in the newspaper every day.’’
On the advancing tech behind the Racing Post display, he added: “As a business, we’re committed to going above and beyond to give customers the best horseracing content from around the world. Being able to give full form, and verdicts on all UK and Irish racing as well as international racing, greyhound and virtuals in-store, at the touch of a button means punters are armed with the best information to help make their selection.”

Global B2B iGaming content provider secures first Canadian market entry following the successful submission and approval of its gaming-related supplier application
Playnetic, the in-demand global B2B iGaming content provider known for its quality games, reliable delivery and outstanding customer service, has announced the approval of its gaming-related supplier application by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).
With the AGCO licensing process being recognised in the industry for its rigorous standards and thorough due diligence, the new certification confirms Playnetic was able to meet the high levels of integrity and regulatory compliance needed to legally distribute its content within the province.
As a result of the approval, Playnetic has now secured its first Canadian market entry and will be able to provide its library of innovative games to licensed operators in the Ontario region – with this starting point paving the way for further expansion into other regulated provinces in future.
Given signs of change emerging within the Canadian market and Alberta making progress toward a regulated online model – likely drawing from Ontario’s framework – this license positions Playnetic strongly to expand its footprint in the country and further solidifies the company’s ambitious growth plans.
In the meantime, Playnetic has already begun making groundwork with key operators in the Ontario region and is looking forward to going live with some exciting brands over the coming months. The company will also be attending SBC’s Canadian Gaming Summit from June 17-19, where both existing and new potential partners alike are welcome to stop by and meet the team.
Dan Phillips, Chief Executive Officer at Playnetic, said: “Acquiring AGCO approval for our gaming-related supplier application is undoubtedly a big step for Playnetic. The new license not only secures our first Canadian market entry, but also reaffirms Playnetic’s position as a trusted provider in iGaming and underlines our commitment to compliance and operational excellence.”
Julian Borg-Barthet, Chief Commercial Officer at Playnetic, said: “We’re very excited to now be in a position to offer our library of innovative gaming content in Ontario, and the groundwork to do that with some of the region’s biggest licensed operators is already underway. Over time, we’re confident this license will also help us expand further into current markets and emerging regulated provinces, such as Alberta.”
