Some of the biggest names in the sports betting industry joined forces recently to pass it forward.
Several members of the Betting and Gaming Council in Britain decided to donate the profits from the Britannia Stakes horse race that was run during the Royal Ascot week recently.
A total of $1.5 million was distributed to several worthy charities.
Those who were part of the scheme included:
– William Hill
– 888 Holdings
– Kindred
– Rank Group
– Bet with Ascot
– Bet365
– BetVictor
– Betway
– Rank Group
– The Tote
– Virgin Bet
– Flutter Entertainment (with its brands Betfair, Sky Bet brands and Paddy Power)
– Entain (with its brands Ladbrokes and Coral)
Betting and Gambling Council Members Continue to Donate
According to BGC chief executive Michael Dugher: “It’s great news that BGC members have once again made such a big donation to a number of brilliant charities. BGC members support the jobs of nearly 120,000 people and we are proud to back so many good causes in so many local communities all year round.”
“We are also equally proud of the close relationship we have with the great British sport of horse racing. But with crowds back, with millions more watching it live on ITV, and with this year being Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee, Royal Ascot 2022 was extra special.”
