Virgin Bet has been announced as the headline Easter Saturday Raceday sponsor at Musselburgh Racecourse – ahead of one of the biggest days of racing in the Scottish calendar.

Featuring the £100,000 Queen’s Cup and The Scottish Sprint Cup – regarded as Scotland’s fastest race – The Virgin Bet Easter Saturday Raceday will see some of the country’s top horses, trainers and jockeys converge on the East Lothian course on March 30.

Bill Farnsworth, Racecourse Director with Musselburgh Racecourse, said: “In Virgin Bet we have a headline sponsor that matches our ambitions, to continue growing our Easter event and building its reputation as the pinnacle of horse racing in Scotland.

“We have a packed programme for avid racing fans. The £100,000 Virgin Bet Queen’s Cup, a Heritage Handicap staged over 1m 6f, is the feature race. With total prize money nudging £300,000, there is also a superb supporting card boasting contests such as the Virgin Bet Scottish Sprint Cup and Virgin Bet Silver Arrow, which are run over five-furlongs and seven-furlongs, respectively.

“Last year’s winner of the Queen’s Cup, Wise Eagle, went on to finish second in a Group 3 contest at Ascot while the 2022 hero Enemy was a close runner-up in a race in Saudi Arabia worth a whopping £1.2 million.

“The Scottish Sprint Cup attracts some of the fastest horses in the country, and twelve months ago, was won in blistering style by Silky Wilkie, who, just four weeks later, was just pipped by a short-head at Epsom on Derby Day. He was also second twice in Listed grade at Beverley and York.

“Musselburgh’s five-furlong track record was set in this race by 2018 winner Caspian Prince, who stopped the clock at 56.77sec, and meant he was travelling quicker than the cars on the adjacent road!

“Top jockey Hollie Doyle landed the 2019 renewal with Saheeq, who, like Caspian Prince, was trained by Mick Appleby. Last year’s Silver Arrow winner, Gweedore, was successful for the second year running, and his Galashiels trainer, Katie Scott, reports that she is preparing her stable star for the hat-trick!”

Ric Leask, Marketing Director at Virgin Bet, said: “We are thrilled to announce Virgin Bet as the headline sponsor for Easter Saturday Raceday at Musselburgh Racecourse.

“We are passionate about delivering an unparalleled sports betting experience, and there’s no better way to showcase this commitment than by supporting one of the biggest days of racing in the Scottish calendar.

“Musselburgh holds a special place in the hearts of racing enthusiasts, and we are excited to be a part of the excitement and tradition that the Easter Saturday Raceday brings.

“This sponsorship reflects our dedication to being a leading player in the horseracing world, and we’re delighted to continue to be deeply embedded within the highlight moments of the sport.”

Aisling Johnston, Head of Marketing and Business Development with Musselburgh Racecourse, said: “Easter Saturday is one of our biggest annual events that has grown over the years, gaining the royal seal of approval along the way.

“Virgin Bet coming on board is helping us to be even more ambitious with our plans, so that we can put on the perfect holiday weekend event for all manner of racegoers.

“This includes us expanding the off-track entertainment and hospitality offering. We believe it will be our best easter raceday to date.”

MrQ.com, the UK’s fastest growing online casino, has seen a dramatic increase in the number of players willing to submit financial data for affordability and source of funds checks after implementing ClearStake’s industry tailored smart financial data request solution.

Through the integration of ClearStake, MrQ enables its players to quickly, easily and securely share data via their banking app in under 30 seconds, rather than having to manually supply physical documents.

55% of MrQ’s players are now seamlessly submitting their financial data, laying rest to the long-held market belief that players are unwilling or unable to share the financial data required for affordability and AML checks.

The adoption of ClearStake was part of a larger review by MrQ of its processes, designed to solve issues surrounding the cumbersome process of manually requesting and analysing documents which had historically seen poor uptake from players.

ClearStake has also enabled MrQ to reduce affordability and AML case review times by 46% through seamless follow up requests and reliable data verified directly from the bank, in contrast to requesting physical documents which are prone to fraud, error and unreliable OCR extraction.

MrQ’s remarkable results will no doubt give comfort to other operators who need to navigate the challenges of an increasing number of checks as the UKGC sets to fulfil the recommendations of the white paper.

Savvas Fellas, Founder & CEO at MrQ.com, said: “At MrQ.com we are committed to our mission of offering ‘value-entertainment’. In today’s regulatory landscape this goes hand-in-hand with the security and wellbeing of our players without negatively impacting their entertainment experience or worse, discouraging them to seek their entertainment from within the regulated space.

“We are constantly looking into new ways of navigating our regulatory obligations by embracing new and up and coming technology services. We share ClearStake’s vision on the utilisation of open banking technology and leveraging this to keep our learning curve ahead of those around us.

“ClearStake offers MrQ a strong route towards achieving seamless affordability and AML checks. ClearStake’s feature-rich platform, player-centric design and speed of integration made them the clear supplier of choice, and we look forward to furthering the capability of the technology around thresholds like Standard Due Diligence and our Enhanced Due Diligence checks.”

Martin Burt, Founder of ClearStake, said: “We are delighted to be working with such a forward-thinking market leader who share our vision of how new technology can transform an industry.

“This partnership with MrQ demonstrates that ClearStake’s technology is trusted by the industry’s leading brands and is a fantastic testament to the strength of our product.

“We are thrilled with the results to date which unequivocally demonstrate players’ willingness to share data when required. Furthermore, we are excited by the opportunity to fully automate once resource intensive compliance processes and continuing to delight both players and operators alike.”
