Virgin Bet becomes presenting partner at Goodwood Racecourse
Virgin Bet has become Presenting Partner for all six remaining racedays at Goodwood Racecourse in the 2025 season.
The partnership includes the August Bank Holiday meeting from 22–24th August, two September fixtures on 2nd and 24th September, and the Season Finale on 12th October.
As part of the agreement, Virgin Bet has received branding, ticketing, and digital content rights, as well as hospitality activations. The August Bank Holiday meeting, regarded as one of Goodwood’s most attended fixtures, has opened with a Friday evening programme followed by two days of racing and entertainment.
Virgin Bet has also promoted its partnership with WalkSafe, a personal safety app launched in 2020, which provides users with tools to plan safe routes home and other safety features. WalkSafe has been highlighted during the race meetings as part of Virgin Bet’s commitment to racegoer wellbeing.
Goodwood Racecourse, located in West Sussex, stages 19 days of racing each year, including the Qatar Goodwood Festival in late July. Virgin Bet, an online betting operator in the UK, has been active in horse racing sponsorships and extended its involvement in the sport through this partnership.
Tony Langanegger, Sponsorship Sales Director, Goodwood, said, “We’re thrilled to have Virgin Bet on board as Presenting Partner for our August Bank Holiday and autumn race meetings.
“Their commitment to creating positive change through their ‘A Good Bet’ purpose aligns well with our vision for Goodwood as a place that welcomes and inspires a diverse range of racegoers. We look forward to working closely with Virgin Bet to deliver unforgettable moments across the season.”
