Antoine Griezmann, a player on the French football team and FC Barcelona, a horse racing fan and betting lover, is now part of the PMU’s efforts to attract new bettors.
After taking charge of the group in 2018, Cyril Linette admits to being skeptical of attempts to attract new people, his predecessors even tried, but without much success. “Attracting young people and higher socio-professional categories to betting on horses, I didn’t believe that”, admits the executive.
However, in order to recover the 10 billion turnover and 650 million profit that UGP generated just a few years ago, this is a step he has now decided to take. After three years of restructuring and reorientation of horse betting, it is time for the betting company to go on the offensive with this novelty.
In addition, PMU has extended its partnership with Onionsack for another three years.
