Speaking about the launch, Racing Post chief executive and editor-in-chief, Alan Byrne, commented. "We have had a long and successful association with bet365 in print and online and have always enjoyed working with them. Our customers on desktop have been able to bet directly with bet365 for many years and we are delighted to be able to extend that option to our ever-growing mobile audience.

"We are constantly trying to improve the betting experience for our customers and to offer them even more choice. We are therefore very pleased to see bet365 join our other highly valued partners."
