PlayUp Racebook App Launches Ahead of Kentucky Derby

A new horse racing betting app is set to take on the likes of TwinSpires and TVG.  PlayUp announced its launch this weekend ahead of May's Kentucky Derby.

A number of friends of the Gambling911 website are involved with the new app.

PlayUp promises to offer a top-notch betting platform featuring racetracks from all around the world.   It claims to be the  best, most horseplayer friendly Racebook in the industry!  Not an overreaching claim considering what is out there right now.

PlayUp is a licensed and legal U.S. based pari-mutuel wagering that will feature a wagering program with great bonuses and promotions.  International racing includes Hong Kong, Australia, Japan, UK, Ireland and France.  The one negative going for PlayUp is that they intend to offer greyhound racing, which over the years has drawn scrutiny from animal rights organizations.

Fixed odds wagering is coming soon.

PlayUp is only available in US 26 states: Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
