Florian Diederichsen , OpenBet's CTO, said “We continue to deliver record-breaking results at OpenBet, across some of the world’s major sporting events. This year, the Grand National continued to attract extraordinary levels of bettors. With an average win and each way stake being ￡5.42, any downtime would have risked ￡100,000s of lost turnover. However, our operator partners were able to deliver a seamless betting experience for the historical event with the support of our highly experienced team, and industry-leading technology. We look forward to delivering even more success during the summer of sport ahead.”
