BetMGM UK Sponsors County Hurdle to Kick Off Exciting New Partnership with the Jockey Club
BetMGM UK has announced as the new sponsor of the County Hurdle, the £100,000 Premier Handicap staged over an extended two miles on the fourth and final day of The Cheltenham Festival next week (Gold Cup Day, Friday 15th March).
The first County Hurdle was run in 1920 and won by Trespasser. Willie Mullins, The Cheltenham Festival’s most successful trainer with 94 winners, landed the contest for a record sixth time in 2022 with State Man. Last year saw trainer Dan Skelton enjoy his fourth County Hurdle triumph courtesy of 33-1 chance Faivoir. It is a race which frequently attracts a maximum field (currently 26 runners).
In an exciting new partnership, BetMGM, the premium online betting and gaming brand, will be an Official Betting Partner of The Jockey Club and have its name attached to a number of flagship races and racedays at Jockey Club Racecourses.
In addition to the BetMGM County Hurdle, these will also include the Grade Two Haldon Gold Cup (Exeter) and Grade Two Elite Hurdle (Wincanton), which both take place during The West Country Weekend in November, as well as races during Cheltenham’s Christmas Meeting in December.
In BetMGM’s brilliant new Cheltenham Festival TV advert, Hollywood star Chris Rock says: “At BetMGM we know how to put on a show. Welcome to Fabulous Cheltenham – this is the greatest show on earth, Vegas style. Get ready to roar. Bet £10 and get £60 in free bets. This is the golden era of the Cheltenham Festival. BetMGM – It’s Showtime!”
Commenting ahead of the Cheltenham Festival, Sam Behar, UK Director at BetMGM, said: “We are thrilled to sponsor the County Hurdle. This is the brand’s first Festival and we’ve marked it in the best possible way. We’re dedicated to providing an entertaining betting experience for racing fans across the country, and have undoubtedly gone the extra mile in giving customers market leading offers.”
Acting Director of Partnerships at The Jockey Club, Matt Powell, said: “We are delighted to announce this new partnership and what better way to start it off than with the BetMGM County Hurdle, one of the most competitive contests staged during The Cheltenham Festival. This is very much the start of what we expect to be a strong and enduring partnership between BetMGM and The Jockey Club.”
Online casino brand Slot Games has officially launched its latest player engagement feature, the Daily Wheel. The new feature allows registered users to claim one free spin every 24 hours, providing an opportunity to win free spins on a selection of popular slot titles.
The Daily Wheel is designed as a simple, engaging mechanic that adds excitement to the regular Slot Games experience. By giving players one daily free spin at no cost, it introduces a sense of anticipation and routine that rewards players for returning to the brand. Each spin of the wheel may unlock free spins on exciting titles.
Unlike many promotions that require a deposit to participate, the Daily Wheel is completely free to access. Players need only log in, spin the wheel once per day, and see whether they win free spins to use on the specified slot titles. Free spins are credited as bonus funds, with a 65x wagering requirement, and maximum conversion equal to lifetime deposits up to £250. Full terms and conditions apply.
The management team at Slot Games said:
“The launch of the Daily Wheel reflects our commitment to creating fun, rewarding features that enhance the player experience. Offering one free spin each day is a small but meaningful way to reward our community. It keeps players engaged, gives them a reason to return daily, and strengthens our overall retention strategy. We believe this feature will be well-received and will be something our players are fond of.”
Daily rewards have become an increasingly popular feature in the online gaming sector. They not only encourage consistent activity but also create moments of excitement that fit seamlessly into a player’s routine. The Slot Games team has aligned the Daily Wheel with this trend, ensuring that the reward mechanism is straightforward, accessible, and appealing to all players.
In addition to the new feature, Slot Games continues to expand its offering of slot titles and table games. The platform is licensed and regulated in the UK, operating under strict guidelines to ensure fairness, security, and responsible play. The introduction of the Daily Wheel further demonstrates Slot Games’ approach to combining compliance with creativity, giving players engaging promotions that remain within regulatory frameworks.
The Daily Wheel is available to all registered players, and spins reset every 24 hours. Whether a player logs in first thing in the morning or later in the evening, they will always have a chance to use their daily free spin within that period. This accessibility makes the promotion easy to understand and participate in, while maintaining an element of anticipation that encourages daily engagement.
Slot Games encourages both new and existing players to explore the Daily Wheel and take advantage of the free spin opportunity. With no deposit required, it’s a great way to discover some of the site’s most popular slot games while enjoying an extra layer of entertainment.
The Daily Wheel is live now and can be accessed via the promotions section on SlotGames.co.uk. Players are invited to log in today and give it a spin.

“Fruitferno 40” went live, a new 5×4 slot from Hölle Games. It comes just a few weeks after the Dragon’s Diamonds launch, a cluster-style title with an equally hot theme! Following up to that 6×5 scatter-pays smasher, the Hölle team have taken a short detour to drop a 40-payline sequel to Fruitferno 20, for all those slot purists out there.
In addition to the de rigeur Fruits ensemble of Cherries, Oranges, Lemons etc, it also has stacked 7 Wilds on all reels, which if hit will pay out a tasty 3300x stake. Star Scatters award Bonus Spins when they land, and there is of course the accompanying Card and Ladder Gambles to heat things up. Refined graphics and audio complete the experience and medium-high volatility keeps it on the spicy side of the street.
