Ladbrokes Coral continue to accelerate their print-to-digital transition with the introduction of the new interactive Racing Post Digital Betting Shop Display (BSD) in eight of their stores across the UK and Ireland. The installation of the state of the art screens outlines the business objective to create the betting shop of the future.

The Racing Post BSD 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. The product has advanced further in recent months with the addition of Racing Post Tipping Zone which includes top tips from Racing Post experts such as Paul Kealy and Tom Segal and a raceday live feed to keep up to date with all the action.

For more casual racing customers, the new interactive touchscreens contain key Racing Post content, including Verdicts and Spotlights so they can make informed betting decisions.

Racing Post parent group Spotlight Sports Group has been working on retail innovations across sport and racing to engage betting shop customers. Working with Ladbrokes Coral the group has been fine-tuning their expert editorial content to deliver snippets of information bettors can use to make their decisions.

Discussing the recent innovations and installation in new stores Spotlight Sports Group Retail Director, Alan Pepperell said:

‘With betting shops across the UK and Ireland closing for long periods of time this year, it’s vital that they now offer the best customer experience to welcome customers back. We are delighted that Ladbrokes Coral like most high-street bookmakers are relying on Racing Post and Spotlight Sports Group to produce the content that engages their visitors. The new digital BSD is like nothing else on the marketplace. With the latest releases, customers are getting key race information supplemented with tips from the biggest names in racing at the touch of a button. We’re excited to see bettors interact with our digital products over the coming months.’

Outlining how vital Racing Post is to the retail betting experience Entain Retail Product Manager, Toby Cook said:

‘We know customers expect and are constantly looking for Racing Post updates on the live racing. For years that has been through the newspaper and the betting shop display. Now we’re delighted to be moving with the business as we continue our digital journey. The new interactive screens have already been hugely successful in our shops in London and Dublin and we’re delighted to be installing them in more shops up and down the country.’

GGBET UA hosts Media Game – an open FC Dynamo Kyiv training session with journalists from sports publications

On 17 February in Kyiv, GGBET UA organized a media event for players of the legendary Ukrainian club and representatives of Ukraine’s top sports media. Journalists trained with footballers in Dynamo’s first team under the guidance of the team’s coaches, played a short match in mixed squads, and took part in a Q&A session.

As the team’s title sponsor, GGBET UA took a creative approach to the organization of the event and went beyond a regular media briefing. A joint training session for the journalists and star players, and a practice match in mixed squads, put both the journalists and players in good spirits, and created a cool, informal atmosphere. After the game, a Q&A session took place, where FC Dynamo’s winter training camp and preparation for the second half of the season in the Ukrainian Premier League, led by the team’s new coach, Ihor Kostyuk, were discussed.

In Ukraine, where football is one of the most popular sports, playing with the players of renowned clubs is a chance to go through your own unique experience: to live out your childhood dream, remember your sporting background, get up close to legends, and more. This is part of the cultural code that is close to GGBET UA and a reference to one of the brand’s values: creating events that blur the lines between beloved teams and their audiences.

The collaboration between GGBET UA and Dynamo started in 2024, when the Ukrainian bookmaker became the club’s official partner in European cup matches and the official sponsor of its winter training camp. In 2025, GGBET UA became the club’s title sponsor for three years.
