Racing Post has today announced it will resume publication and nationwide distribution of its print newspaper on June 1^st to coincide with the resumption of British racing closely followed by Irish racing on June 8^th.

Joining the daily publication on the return will be Racing Post weekly publications, Racing Post Weekender and the Racing and Football Outlook.

Production of the newspaper had to be temporarily suspended for the first time in its history in March after global sports, and particularly horseracing, had been halted due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the downtime, Racing Post has produced a reduced digital version of the newspaper online covering the fallout and resumption plans alongside reports on global racing and sports where it has been able to continue.

Horseracing in Britain is scheduled to return at Newcastle on Monday, June 1^st, according to the BHA’s initial schedule for the resumption of the sport, while Naas will host the comeback fixture in Ireland when the sport returns on June 8^th.

Top-quality racing will return with four British Classics and Royal Ascot taking centre stage in June in Britain, with the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas rescheduled for Friday, June 12^th and Saturday, June 13^th in Horse Racing Ireland’s revised schedule. All events will be behind closed doors and subject to strict government guidance around social distancing and hygiene requirements.

Racing Post will have coverage of every race at every meeting from the revised schedule as well as in-depth interviews with racing’s biggest names, tipping from renowned tipsters Paul Kealy and Tom Segal and features on the resumption spearheaded by award-winning writers Alastair Down and Lee Mottershead.

Commenting on the return of the Racing Post, editor Tom Kerr said: “It’s been an incredibly difficult two months for all those involved with racing on these shores. The temporary halt in production of the newspaper in March was something no one could have predicted earlier in the year but I’m delighted to say we are coming back better than ever. The team at Racing Post is prepared for the resumption of racing, and although it will be in a new world to the one we left behind we’re excited to be part of it.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with the talented team here on the plans for bringing the print newspaper back – no small task under the current circumstances – and I can’t wait to get my hands on that first print edition. We all love newspapers, and we know that for many of our customers there’s no substitute to the feel and experience of a print Racing Post as their daily guide to this great sport.”

DATA.BET, a leading sportsbook technology provider, is set to participate in SiGMA South America 2026, one of the most significant gaming industry events in Latin America.

The event will take place from April 6–9, 2026 in São Paulo, bringing together major players from the global betting and casino sectors.

At stand E140, DATA.BET will present its comprehensive sportsbook platform along with its advanced esports betting solutions, targeting operators across Latin America who are seeking scalable, high-performance betting products.

Expanding Presence in Latin America

Latin America continues to emerge as one of the fastest-growing regions for online sports betting and iGaming. Countries across the region are moving toward regulated frameworks, creating significant opportunities for sportsbook providers and technology companies.

DATA.BET’s presence at SiGMA South America highlights the company’s focus on supporting operators entering regulated markets, particularly in Brazil, where demand for advanced sportsbook infrastructure is rapidly increasing.

The company aims to demonstrate how its solutions can help operators integrate modern sportsbook technology quickly and efficiently while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Brazilian Certification Strengthens Market Entry

One of the key advantages DATA.BET brings to the Latin American market is its Brazilian GLI certification, obtained last year. This certification confirms that the platform meets recognized regulatory and technical standards required for operation in Brazil’s developing betting ecosystem.

Certification allows operators using DATA.BET’s solutions to streamline their market entry process. By integrating certified technology, betting companies can reduce the time required for regulatory approvals and technical validation.

This capability positions DATA.BET as a strategic partner for operators looking to establish or expand their presence in Brazil’s regulated sports betting market.

Advanced Sportsbook and Integration Capabilities

During the exhibition, DATA.BET will showcase the latest version of its complete sportsbook solution, which has recently undergone a significant redesign.

The platform includes advanced integration capabilities that allow operators to seamlessly incorporate sportsbook functionality into their existing online casino or betting platforms. This flexibility ensures that operators can deploy the solution efficiently while maintaining full control over branding and user experience.

By offering scalable technology and seamless integrations, DATA.BET aims to help operators maximize performance and revenue potential.

Enhanced Statistical Widgets for Deeper Insights

A major highlight of the company’s presentation will be the newly updated Statistical Widgets, designed to enhance user engagement and provide bettors with deeper insights into matches and competitions.

The widgets include several data-rich features such as:

Head-to-Head comparisons
Game Statistics
Team Statistics
Timeline Widget for esports events

These tools are designed to enrich the betting experience by providing real-time information that helps players make more informed decisions.

Enhanced data visualization has become an increasingly important component of modern sportsbook platforms, as bettors expect access to detailed statistics and analytics.

Expanded Coverage of Global and Regional Sports

DATA.BET’s sportsbook platform offers extensive coverage across a wide range of sporting events, including both global tournaments and regional competitions that are particularly popular among Latin American audiences.

Among the leagues featured in the platform are:

Brazil’s Campeonato Brasileiro Série A
Argentina’s Liga Profesional de Fútbol
Colombia’s Categoría Primera A

This regional focus ensures that operators can deliver localized content tailored to the preferences of Latin American bettors.

The platform also supports betting on major international tournaments, including preparations for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is expected to generate massive global betting activity.

Bet Builder Across Sports and Esports

Another key feature showcased at the event will be DATA.BET’s Bet Builder, which enables players to combine multiple betting selections within a single wager.

This functionality is available for both traditional sports and esports competitions, allowing bettors to create customized bets based on their predictions for different match events.

Bet Builder functionality has become a popular feature among sportsbook users because it increases engagement and provides additional betting flexibility.

Strong Focus on Esports Betting

Esports continues to experience rapid growth worldwide, particularly among younger audiences. Brazil and the broader Latin American region have developed strong esports communities, making this vertical a key focus for sportsbook providers.

DATA.BET has positioned itself as a long-standing leader in esports betting by offering extensive tournament coverage and specialized tools designed for esports audiences.

According to Otto Bonning, Head of Sales at DATA.BET, the company sees strong demand for esports betting products in Brazil and aims to support operators with comprehensive market coverage, including local competitions.

Supporting Operators Through Technology

DATA.BET continues to invest heavily in technological innovation to ensure its sportsbook platform remains reliable, scalable, and adaptable to regulated environments.

The company’s ongoing development efforts focus on:

Improving platform stability
Enhancing integration capabilities
Expanding market coverage
Supporting regulatory compliance

These improvements are designed to help operators maximize revenue opportunities while delivering a seamless betting experience to players.

Looking Ahead to SiGMA South America 2026

As one of the most influential iGaming gatherings in the region, SiGMA South America provides a valuable platform for industry stakeholders to explore new technologies, form partnerships, and discuss the future of regulated gaming markets.

DATA.BET’s participation underscores its commitment to strengthening relationships with Latin American operators and expanding its presence in one of the most dynamic betting markets in the world.
