On Thursday, June 9, the Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) announced a five-year extension to its contract with Teletheatre BC (TBC), Flamboro Downs and Georgian Downs for HorsePlayer Interactive (HPI)
, Canada's online account wagering services for horse racing.
"We look forward to working closely with WEG over the next five years," said Bill McNeill, TBC's chief operating officer and general manager, "to continue to evolve the HPI product for our customers, as well as work on new initiatives to increase the interest of the public to watch and wager on horseracing."
The new arrangement will also include more promotions related to the Great Canadian Gaming stable of tracks, which include Hastings Racecourse and Fraser Downs in British Columbia and Flamboro Downs and Georgian Downs in Ontario.
"We have enjoyed a great partnership over the years in this business," said Sean Pinsonneault, WEG's chief operating officer. "Together we have experienced significant growth in the online account wagering segment by listening to customers and tailoring the services to meet or exceed their needs. We are very proud to be a part of that success, now and in the future with this new extension to our agreement."
