LUXBET.COM PARTNERS WITH NSWROA

Ray McDowell, President of NSW Racehorse Owners Association (NSWROA) today announced that Tabcorp’s corporate bookmaking arm Luxbet.com will become a major partner with the Association in a one-year sponsorship deal. In addition to being NSWROA’s Exclusive Wagering Partner, Luxbet.com has also secured the Principal Awards Sponsorship for this year’s NSWROA Racing’s Night of Champions with the Luxbet.com NSW Racehorse Of The Year award.

Luxbet.com General Manager of Marketing and Media Stephen Brassel said: “The partnership between Luxbet and NSWROA is an extremely important alliance which we see as being beneficial to the overall health of the racing industry in NSW.

“When launched late last year Luxbet made a firm commitment to pay all race fields fees levied by the racing industry and we also currently intend making a discretionary payment of net profit back into the racing industries of both NSW and Victoria.

“Through this partnership with NSWROA we will reinforce the message that Luxbet is committed to those who are so integral to putting on the show, the owners. The Night of Champions is a major event for the NSW racing industry and it is an honour for Luxbet to be so heavily involved as a major partner by sponsoring the NSW Racehorse of the Year Award."

NSWROA President Ray McDowell outlined the many benefits the partnership will immediately bring to members by commenting “NSWROA welcomes Luxbet.com as our Exclusive Wagering Partner and supporter of racing’s Night of Nights, the NSWROA Racing’s Night of Champions. The Association is of the view that it is essential that all racing participants work together for the greater good of the industry. Luxbet are committed to supporting the industry by paying all race fields fees levied. They are putting “their hands in their pockets” to support the NSW racing industry and we applaud that stance.”
