FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

WatchandWager secures agreement with Monarch Content Management

WatchandWager players gain access to major racetracks and Preakness Stakes

 

The board of Webis, the Group specialising in pool wagering and the operators
of WatchandWager Cal Expo, the Californian harness track, is pleased to
announce that its Advanced Deposit Wagering ("ADW") business,
WatchandWager.com LLC ("WatchandWager") signed an agreement with Monarch
Content Management Group to accept wagers on all Monarch-operated racetracks
in 2023. Monarch Content Management Group is fully owned by the Stronach
Group, a leading racetrack and technology operator in North America.

 

The agreement with Monarch Content Management Group allows WatchandWager
players to wager on races at Golden Gate Fields, Gulfstream Park, Laurel Park,
Pimlico, and Santa Anita Park plus many others.  The additions of Gulfstream
Park and Pimlico are important additions to the WatchandWager menu of
available tracks.  Based near Miami, Florida, Gulfstream Park is a major
center of US horse racing, especially during the winter and spring when it
hosts the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup, as well as the Grade 1 Florida Derby and
Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes for Kentucky Derby hopefuls.  Pimlico is
located in Baltimore, Maryland, and is one of the oldest racetracks in the
United States.  The track is famous for hosting the second leg of the US
Triple Crown, the Grade 1 Preakness Stakes in May.

 

The additions of Gulfstream Park, Laurel Park, and Pimlico are the result of
efforts by the WatchandWager management team to obtain wagering access to
these tracks.  The agreement with Monarch means that WatchandWager players
have full access to all of the top tracks in the United States, as well as
wagering on all three legs of the US Triple Crown.

 

 Ed Comins, President of WatchandWager, commented:

 

"We are pleased to have secured this agreement with our partners at Monarch
Content Management for 2023.  WatchandWager takes pride in offering the best
racetracks to its players, and this contract fulfills that commitment to
them.  We believe that this agreement will be mutually-beneficial for both
companies, and our players will be delighted to wager on top class racing from
coast-to-coast."

 

The first day of racing at Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park is on Monday,
26(th) December.
