The Grand National, arguably Britain’s biggest betting event and the most important in the racing calendar, took place over the weekend, but horse racing is at a crossroads when it comes to securing its future sustainability and growth. 

The sport’s attendance numbers have been falling in recent years, the impact of COVID continues to bite into its finances, and stakeholders are concerned about how incoming affordability measures could affect its situation.

Meanwhile, another huge betting event is getting closer by the day - the UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany. But with the UK tightening the leash around betting advertising, what should bookmakers consider ahead of the tournament?

These will be the topics on today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, as Ted Orme-Claye, Editor of Insider Sport and Payment Expert, takes over hosting duties and is joined by his IS & PE team in Callum Williams and Kieran O'Connor.
