Virgin Bet has been announced as the headline Easter Saturday Raceday sponsor at Musselburgh Racecourse – ahead of one of the biggest days of racing in the Scottish calendar.

Featuring the £100,000 Queen’s Cup and The Scottish Sprint Cup – regarded as Scotland’s fastest race – The Virgin Bet Easter Saturday Raceday will see some of the country’s top horses, trainers and jockeys converge on the East Lothian course on March 30.

Bill Farnsworth, Racecourse Director with Musselburgh Racecourse, said: “In Virgin Bet we have a headline sponsor that matches our ambitions, to continue growing our Easter event and building its reputation as the pinnacle of horse racing in Scotland.

“We have a packed programme for avid racing fans. The £100,000 Virgin Bet Queen’s Cup, a Heritage Handicap staged over 1m 6f, is the feature race. With total prize money nudging £300,000, there is also a superb supporting card boasting contests such as the Virgin Bet Scottish Sprint Cup and Virgin Bet Silver Arrow, which are run over five-furlongs and seven-furlongs, respectively.

“Last year’s winner of the Queen’s Cup, Wise Eagle, went on to finish second in a Group 3 contest at Ascot while the 2022 hero Enemy was a close runner-up in a race in Saudi Arabia worth a whopping £1.2 million.

“The Scottish Sprint Cup attracts some of the fastest horses in the country, and twelve months ago, was won in blistering style by Silky Wilkie, who, just four weeks later, was just pipped by a short-head at Epsom on Derby Day. He was also second twice in Listed grade at Beverley and York.

“Musselburgh’s five-furlong track record was set in this race by 2018 winner Caspian Prince, who stopped the clock at 56.77sec, and meant he was travelling quicker than the cars on the adjacent road!

“Top jockey Hollie Doyle landed the 2019 renewal with Saheeq, who, like Caspian Prince, was trained by Mick Appleby. Last year’s Silver Arrow winner, Gweedore, was successful for the second year running, and his Galashiels trainer, Katie Scott, reports that she is preparing her stable star for the hat-trick!”

Ric Leask, Marketing Director at Virgin Bet, said: “We are thrilled to announce Virgin Bet as the headline sponsor for Easter Saturday Raceday at Musselburgh Racecourse.

“We are passionate about delivering an unparalleled sports betting experience, and there’s no better way to showcase this commitment than by supporting one of the biggest days of racing in the Scottish calendar.

“Musselburgh holds a special place in the hearts of racing enthusiasts, and we are excited to be a part of the excitement and tradition that the Easter Saturday Raceday brings.

“This sponsorship reflects our dedication to being a leading player in the horseracing world, and we’re delighted to continue to be deeply embedded within the highlight moments of the sport.”

Aisling Johnston, Head of Marketing and Business Development with Musselburgh Racecourse, said: “Easter Saturday is one of our biggest annual events that has grown over the years, gaining the royal seal of approval along the way.

“Virgin Bet coming on board is helping us to be even more ambitious with our plans, so that we can put on the perfect holiday weekend event for all manner of racegoers.

Safe Use Of Cryptocurrency For E-gambling

Published

The e-sports are at a boom across the world. While people worldwide are getting to e-sports, many want to bet on these. E-sports betting is possible with cryptocurrencies as well! But how? Is it safe to use cryptocurrency for e-sports gambling? How can you avoid crypto wallet and transaction scams? Let’s explore the world of e-betting with cryptocurrency and help you with all your doubts.

Is cryptocurrency safe to use for e-betting?

You can refer to coingambling.info as a platform where you can find brands that use cryptocurrency for e-betting. Here are the reasons:

  • Security: Blockchain forms the foundation of cryptocurrency, providing top-notch transaction security. You can’t mess with crypto bets at all — blockchain’s see-through nature and spread-out structure ensure that! The transparent decentralized blockchain setup has a huge impact on keeping cryptocurrency wagers tamper-proof.
  • Privacy: Cryptocurrency gives users more privacy than regular money transfers and is quicker, too. When you bet online, crypto deposits and withdrawals beat old-school bank transfers hands down, they’re way faster. 
  • Faster transactions: Crypto transfers beat old-school bank methods hands down when it comes to speed. Players can deposit and cash out from betting sites much quicker using digital currencies. 

Cryptocurrency e-betting is a secure option due to its use of blockchain technology. You can place bets, move money in and out, and enjoy e-betting thrills without much worry. However, using crypto for e-betting does have some drawbacks too. Some of them are:

  • Volatility of the cryptocurrency: Crypto prices often fluctuate. Your bet’s value can shift fast, affecting how much you might win or lose. 
  • Security risks: While cryptocurrency itself is safe, if a secure wallet or exchange is not used, you might get scammed. 
  • Rules and regulations: Regions around the globe have different rules and regulations for cryptocurrencies. You have to ensure that you choose the legal cryptocurrency wallets and exchanges in your region.

While these cons can be daunting, there is a solution to everything. You can enjoy the excitement of online betting without stressing over crypto price swings and safety issues. Let’s explore how.

How Can You Safeguard Yourself Against Cryptocurrency Wallet And Exchange Scams?

Even though cryptocurrency is safe to use for e-betting, you still can land into a scam. Here’s how you can safeguard yourself from cryptocurrency wallet and exchange scams:

  • Stick to reliable crypto platforms for trading and storage. Avoid sketchy wallets that might turn out to be cons. Exodus, Coinbase, and CoPay rank among the top trusted options for buying, selling, and keeping your digital coins safe. These reputable services have a proven track record in handling cryptocurrency transactions. 
  • Use 2FA methods, such as a code sent to your phone or an authenticator app, to safeguard your wallet. This adds an extra layer of protection above the passwords. 
  • Keep your private keys private! Don’t share them with the wallet or exchange’s customer support. If someone asks you for the private key, it is potentially a scam.
  • Do not click on suspicious links or attachments sent via mail. They can be phishing attacks that the scammers use to scam you. 
  • Keep updating your software. Software updates also roll out security updates, which can provide extra protection for your account. 
  • There’s nothing like ‘Get Rick Quick’ in e-betting. If something is sounding too good, it’s too good to be true. Don’t fall for such traps. 

Cryptocurrency betting reshapes the betting world, and fraudsters push boundaries to break in. You must maximize your wagers and dodge the cons. The responsibility falls on you to make smart bets and protect yourself from tricksters. Scammers show they’ll do anything to cheat the system. It’s crucial to stay alert and get the most from your bets while avoiding scams. 

How To Protect Yourself From The Volatility Of Cryptocurrencies?

Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile! You can protect yourself from the volatility by diversifying your crypto portfolio. Also, every e-sports betting platform might not be accepting each cryptocurrency. Some might be accepting Bitcoin and Ether, while others might be expecting Litecoin and XRP. Having a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrency can help you have a chance to bet on multiple platforms. Additionally, you can choose the cryptocurrency which will return the best results for you. 

What are the types of e-sports available for betting?

People know Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as an e-sport game. However, many other e-sport games exist. Call of Duty, Apex Legends, and StarCraft are examples of popular e-sports. You can place bets on these games too. These games offer chances to gamble as traditional sports do. Fans of competitive gaming now bet on e-sports. Bettors can pick their favorite genre due to the wide range of games available. E-sports fans can bet on many game types, including first-person shooters and strategy games. Pro E-sports gambling resembles traditional gambling. Parents need to protect their children from potential risks. The growth of e-sports and e-betting will boost cryptocurrency usage for online betting transactions.
