UK horse racing fans set to see a transformation in the way they take part.

London, England, United Kingdom - August 26, 2023 /PR Fire/ —

The World Pool, in an exclusive partnership with Tote, gives UK horse racing punters the chance to bet with fans worldwide in one place, creating a multi-million pound pool betting experience that brings everyone together.

In pursuit of its goal of supporting and expanding horse racing, World Pool has announced the addition of four new race days (from 21 to 25), with new additions in Australia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Ireland.
