Racing was spared direct addition in increases to remote video gaming duty and remote betting task in in 2015's budget, but it has not been spared the consequences of bookmakers doing something about it to safeguard their earnings.

Sponsorships


The most noticeable action bookmakers have actually begun to take is not renewing their race sponsorships.


Coral dropped their backing of the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, which they had actually backed since its beginning in 1993, while bet365 did not restore their sponsorship of the Craven meeting at Newmarket, or long-standing associations with the Lancashire Oaks and the July meeting.


In both cases, the bookmakers blamed the imposition of greater taxes and the need to handle their discretionary spend.


BetMGM dropped their sponsorship of the Fighting Fifth Hurdle, although they did take control of the race Coral had backed at Cheltenham, while uncertainty continues about whether other contests may be looking for new sponsors in the future, including the Classics, which are all backed by Betfred.


The withdrawal of funding has likewise hit locations away from race sponsorship.

Concessions


Punters are likely to feel the effect of the additional tax bookmakers are paying through restrictions, or withdrawal, of concessions such as best chances ensured.


The similarity best odds guaranteed - where if the starting price of a horse is larger than when you positioned the bet you are paid at the bigger chances - cost boosts, additional places and refund uses have actually been used by bookies to drive volume and as a marketing tool.


However, the expense of racing to bookmakers has actually already led to concessions being withdrawn before the tax boosts have actually entered force. Both Betfred and Flutter have likewise been involved in with Arena Racing Company over the expense of media rights payments, indicating punters have actually been able to wager at SP just at specific fixtures.

While it is unlikely that bookmakers will present SP-only wagering more commonly as a result of the higher tax rates, the previous action does show the lengths they are prepared to go to ensure the products they are providing are not unprofitable, with punters eventually losing.


Prices


Another method bookies have the ability to reduce the influence on their earnings is to be sharper with their pricing.


This is shown in the overround, in effect how much extra is developed in a rate by a bookmaker, which theoretically supplies them with a revenue on each runner in a race, for example.


Independent assessment of the overround has recently been carried out by the Horseracing Bettors Forum, with member Steve Tilley concluding the overround per horse (OPH) had actually increased from 0.019 per runner to 0.022 per runner on UK races considering that July 2025.


He stated: "When OPH rises, it becomes harder for bettors to win cash. If this pattern continues, it might dissuade people from wagering on horseracing. They may select to bank on other sports where they feel they get better worth."
