The Kisero Group has announced the launch of The Caribbean Pool with the signing of Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Ltd (SVREL) and the Arima Race Club in Trinidad, the two largest race tracks in the English-speaking Caribbean.
The Caribbean Pool is a Caribbean inter-island commingling platform that allows for Caribbean Tote operators to bet into each other, thereby creating bigger pools, bigger profits for its member partners, and most important, bigger payouts to its punters. The Caribbean Pool will also facilitate greater cooperation and participation between the Caribbean Pool Operators with the aim of growing local racing both regionally and internationally.
Founder of The Caribbean Pool, Kimani Robinson of the Kisero Group, explained: “Our vision was to create a new and exciting regional simulcast portal that would generate greater awareness for the sport as well as greater returns for the Caribbean track and pool operators and their punters.”
Chairman of SVREL, Gary Peart, said: “As we have been able to do for many of our other SVREL brands, our goal for SVREL in 2022 is to continue our revenue growth through local, regional, and international expansion. The Caribbean Pool aligns perfectly with our vision for the company, and as such, we are happy to participate as lead partner.”
With the two largest regional race tracks on board and an expectation that the Barbados Turf Club will sign on as early as January 2022 and the Royal St Lucia Turf Club joining in as soon as they resume racing in 2022, the Caribbean Pool is set to delight Caribbean racing fans with more racing opportunities and bigger winnings.
The Caribbean Pool has also formed an alliance with SportsMax, which has agreed to become the home of all things Caribbean Pool and Caribbean Horse Racing.
SportsMax CEO Nicolas Matthews confirmed the partnership thus:
“Given our regional strength, especially in the participating Caribbean Pool countries being contemplated and our ambition to provide our audiences with more of what they want, the Caribbean Pool is a perfect fit for us.”
Along with coverage on their linear channels SportsMax and SportsMax2, SportsMax will include a dedicated channel within the SportsMax App called “SportsMax Racing”, which will provide most of the Caribbean Pool’s racing content.
