Racecourse Media Group generates record streaming volumes at Cheltenham Festival using industry leading Phenix real-time streaming
RMG, Stats Perform and Phenix are setting the bar for scalable, real-time streaming
Last week’s Cheltenham Festival, the world’s premier Jumps racing fixture, enjoyed a record number of streams for a British horseracing event.
The record numbers were achieved using Phenix, the real-time streaming technology platform that delivers synchronized streams across all devices at broadcast scale.
Stats Perform, the sports tech leader in data and artificial intelligence, has worked with Racecourse Media Group (RMG) to integrate Phenix’s proprietary and patented technology to provide industry leading streaming services for RMG.
Phenix set records for scaling WebRTC streams, leveraging Oracle and Google cloud, throughout the week, helping RMG achieve concurrent streams approaching 500,000 on individual races and achieving over 60% YoY growth across the Festival. The biggest week in British Jumps racing saw multiple streaming records broken each day, including RMG’s highest ever race volume being broken nine times in four days to a peak of 478,000.
Ben Dowding, Director of Betting for Racecourse Media Group, states: “For the past 10 months, we have seen how Phenix’s real-time streaming technology has helped drive our relaunched streaming product. It has handled significantly higher volumes than normal, given retail betting shops have been closed for long periods due to Coronavirus. There is no question that Phenix’s real-time streaming has been a resounding success for RMG and is the foundation from which RMG will work on for in-play racing with our sportsbook partners.”
The collaboration with Phenix means RMG, the UK and Ireland’s largest manager of horse racing rights, now delivers real-time live streaming experiences from its 61 racetracks to sportsbooks. It was previously at circa eight seconds latency on bookmakers’ platforms when viewed on mobile devices.
Roy Reichbach, CEO of Phenix, said: “Our work alongside Stats Perform and Racecourse Media Group up to and including this year’s Cheltenham Festival exceeded our expectations. As an early adopter for real-time streaming, RMG is showing the rest of the sports industry that there is significant demand for real-time video.”
Alex Rice, Chief Rights Officer at Stats Perform, said: “We are proud to support RMG in their delivery of UK and Irish horse racing. Cheltenham race week provides an exceptional challenge in delivery, and we are delighted our platform, integrated with Phenix technology, delivered record breaking audiences for RMG and their betting operator clients. Phenix has been an excellent partner. The Phenix platform coped extremely well with the challenges the Cheltenham Festival brings.”

ACR POKER’S BLAZING HIGH FIVE TOURNAMENT SERIES RETURNS WITH $4 MILLION GUARANTEED THIS APRIL
New ‘Highest Five’ nosebleed events with buy-ins ranging from $5,200 to $25,500 mark the biggest stakes ever seen on ACR Poker

And the action doesn’t stop there. Players can blaze up the standings in the High Five Leaderboard Competition, where more than $25,000 in prizes are up for grabs, including $2,650 Venom seats, tourney tickets and The Golden Bong trophies. Simply by playing in High Five events, players will earn points towards either the High Leaderboard (buy-ins of $44 and over) or the Low Leaderboard (buy-ins of $33 or under).
The stakes are high and so are the names stepping in. ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker is locked in to play every Highest Five event, and so is CEO Phil Nagy. “The High Five Tournament Series has a fun vibe to it and I’m excited to be jumping into the new Highest Five tourneys,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “But what’s great about this series is that players of all bankrolls can get in on the action from small-stakes grinders to high-rollers.

Creedroomz has launched Road to El Dorado, a new live casino game show it calls its largest production to date. The title is built around a wheel-of-fortune mechanic and four bonus rounds, with a studio set designed around an Aztec theme.
The main wheel has 54 segments, with base numbers 1, 2, 5 and 10, plus four bonus spots. Creedroomz said each segment has its own payout multiplier, and that after bets close a random number or bonus segment may receive an added multiplier of up to x50.
Creedroomz said the game includes four bonus rounds: Marble Race, a physical marble race in-studio with payouts up to 6,250×; Boom Blast, a 3D bonus where players choose one of three cannons with multipliers up to x100 on low risk and up to x500 on high risk; Dice Fight, shown on an LED screen with random multipliers up to 10,000x and rerolls on ties; and Eldorado, a multi-level pick-and-reveal bonus where multipliers combine across four levels, with a fifth “Zenith” level unlocked by finding hidden diamonds.
“With Road to El Dorado, we didn’t just want to build a wheel; we wanted to build a world,” says Arturs Fjodorovs, CPO at Creedroomz. “By combining physical studio elements with RNG-driven 3D visuals, we’ve created a multi-layered experience that offers something for every type of player. It is a true spectacle for operators and a goldmine for engagement.”
