The most comprehensive racing app announces US Racing coverage roll-out

Published

Continuing its promise to offer racing fans the most extensive, user-friendly and unrestricted racing coverage unlike anything else on the market, The Racing App – created by Quantum Leap Solutions in partnership with premium UK bookmaker Fitzdares – has bolstered its product offering with a best-in-class roll-out of US racing coverage.

US racing fans can now enjoy a premium level of content and insights to provide them with a large suite of information including full form details with past performance ratings, in-house horse-by-horse comments, market charts, value prices, form visualisers and tips. Another exciting feature is Compute, a simple-to-use unique tool offering punters a meaningful way of solving the puzzle of horse racing by quantifying at-a-glance the key factors likely to determine the outcome of a race to generate a set of “true” prices based on the data.

All this alongside some of the finest expert insight in the US racing sphere including access to The Nick Luck Daily Podcast, to which The Racing App is a proud sponsor of its US Racing segment in its quest to help UK punters make more informed decisions ahead of key US meetings. Regular analysis from respected broadcaster Cornelius Lysaght is also included.

Unlike any other known content provider in the UK and in the US, The Racing App also offers a video form guide for each upcoming US race, as well as access to live US race streams and replays.

Users can also take advantage of the app’s innovative interactive analysis tools including Speedform and unique visual Draw Charts. Through cutting-edge race simulation graphics, Speedform allows users to gain a greater understanding of how horses are expected to run not just in general but at specific sections of each race, based on speed ratings adapted from par times and conditions allowances.

In development for release later this year, users will also soon be able to select specific previous runs to feature in Speedform visuals and delve deeper into Draw Charts to see how different riding tactics affect the impact of the draw – with The Racing App showing no signs of pulling up.

Ian Heaney, CEO of Quantum Leap Solutions, said: “We’ve crammed top quality content and unique insight into one best-in-class app, something that shows how The Racing App really is the pinnacle of products for racing fans. There’s more to come too, including some even better upgrades to Speedform we’re excited to launch later this year.”

“Our benchmark for making a race interesting is the level of content and insight we offer for

British and Irish racing and we have now delivered that and more for US racing fans.”

Will Woodhams, Fitzdares CEO, said: “The concept that US racing is complicated to follow is now a myth with what The Racing App is capable of providing. Many racing fans feel they’ve never had enough data – now they have a full suite of it. In fact, with the insight and new interactive elements combined with the conformity of US racing, it’s actually a simpler puzzle to solve than UK racing and you could not ask for a more complete tool to aid your racing experience.

“To racing fans I say enjoy – and take advantage of the best racing service at your fingertips to back US winner after US winner.”

Relaunched in November 2023, The Racing App already gives racing fans a free, unrivalled one-stop-shop for their racing needs including live race streaming and all UK and Irish replays, cutting-edge data analytics, unique predictor algorithms, and world-class integrated race cards to provide racing fans with the latest and greatest data in seconds. The app also provides access to an integrated betting platform through Fitzdares.

The Racing App is available to download for free in the iOS and Android App Store. Search ‘The Racing App’ to download now.

US Racing content is available to all users with the exception of those based in the US due to local data rights.

Bragg Gaming Group, a leading online gaming technology provider, has confirmed a major cybersecurity incident that compromised its internal IT infrastructure in the early hours of Saturday, August 16, 2025.

The company detected unauthorized intrusion attempts that successfully breached its internal network, triggering an immediate and comprehensive incident response.

Key Takeaways

  • Bragg Gaming Group experienced a cybersecurity breach involving access to internal IT systems.

  • No customer personal data or payment information appears to have been compromised.

  • The company has enacted full containment and investigation protocols.

Details of the Breach

According to a preliminary forensic analysis by Bragg’s internal security team, the attack was a targeted breach aimed at the company’s internal computer environment. While the exact method of intrusion is still under investigation, early indicators suggest a sophisticated exploit of internal network vulnerabilities.

Fortunately, the company’s customer-facing systems, including sensitive user data and financial information, appear to have been unaffected. Bragg’s existing encryption protocols and access control systems successfully prevented the attackers from accessing customer information.

Immediate Response Measures

In response to the breach, Bragg launched a multi-tiered containment strategy, including:

  • Network Segmentation to isolate affected systems

  • Enhanced Monitoring of data flows across its Remote Games Server (RGS) platform

  • Security Audits of critical infrastructure, including the Bragg Hub and PAM systems

  • Engagement of Independent Cybersecurity Experts to assist in incident analysis and system hardening

Bragg’s Security Operations Center has also elevated its alert level, initiating 24/7 monitoring across all server clusters and network endpoints. In addition, company-wide penetration testing is now underway to proactively identify any residual vulnerabilities.

Business Continuity Maintained

Despite the severity of the breach, Bragg reports that its operations remain unaffected. All gaming services, including iCasino and sportsbook offerings across regulated markets, continue to function without disruption.

“While this incident is deeply concerning, we are confident in the rapid and thorough response initiated by our team,” a company spokesperson stated. “We remain committed to protecting our infrastructure, our partners, and most importantly, our players.”

Looking Ahead

As part of its response, Bragg has also launched mandatory security awareness training for all employees to reinforce best practices and prevent future incidents.

Cybersecurity analysts will continue working with Bragg to determine the full scope of the attack, improve system resilience, and maintain the trust of its users and stakeholders.

Bragg’s handling of the incident highlights both the evolving nature of cybersecurity threats and the importance of robust, responsive defense systems in the digital gaming sector.

Slovakia Publishes Groundbreaking Report on Illegal Online Gambling

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Institute for Gambling Regulation in Slovakia (IPRHH) has published the country’s first comprehensive report dedicated to illegal gambling. The study, titled The Black Book of Illegal Gambling, was officially presented at Bratislava’s Einpark and is now publicly available online.

The landmark publication explores the structure, mechanisms, and social impact of illegal gambling operations in Slovakia, with a particular focus on unlicensed online platforms. According to the report, these operators bypass national regulations, exploit vulnerable groups, and deprive the state of hundreds of millions of euros annually in lost tax revenue.

Key Findings From the Report

The study is based on a nationally representative survey conducted by IPRHH in cooperation with the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Among the most striking results:

  • 23.7% of players – nearly 296,000 Slovaks – admitted to gambling on unlicensed platforms.

  • 24.1% of players could not determine whether the sites they used were legal.

  • Younger users and those with lower levels of education were the most likely to engage in illegal gambling.

  • 13.1% of users admitted to gambling illegally because they were listed in the national Register of Excluded Persons (RVO), which should block them from licensed gambling.

“These sites ignore every safeguard that licensed operators must follow,” explained Dávid Lenčéš, Executive Director of IPRHH. “There are no limits, no identity checks, and no protection against addiction. And if you lose money, you have no legal recourse.”

Why Players Choose Illegal Platforms

Survey respondents highlighted several reasons for using unlicensed gambling sites:

  • Higher bonuses (32.5%)

  • Better odds (29.5%)

  • Easier registration (29.1%)

  • Wider game selection (27.4%)

Shockingly, only 42.2% of players actively check for a Slovak license, while 43.2% cannot distinguish between legal and illegal gambling advertisements.

Policy Recommendations

The IPRHH warns that illegal gambling costs Slovakia hundreds of millions of euros each year, money that could otherwise support healthcare, education, and addiction prevention programs.

The institute recommends a multi-pronged strategy to combat illegal operators, including:

  • More effective blocking of unlicensed websites

  • Stronger cooperation with banks and payment providers to block transactions

  • A national public awareness campaign

  • Stable conditions for licensed operators who contribute to the economy

Lenčéš also cautioned against excessive taxation of legal operators:
“If governments dramatically increase taxes on licensed operators, they risk pushing players further into the illegal market. Regulation should protect the public, not unintentionally support criminal ecosystems.”

About IPRHH

The Institute for Gambling Regulation (IPRHH) was founded in 2024 to promote effective, transparent, and responsible gambling regulation in Slovakia. Led by Executive Director Dávid Lenčéš, former Chairman of the Slovak Gambling Regulatory Authority, the organization works to address modern challenges such as digitalization, illegal gambling, and player protection.
