GiddyUp is a parimutuel-powered gaming platform. Think of it as a digital offspring of a horse race and a casino game.

Instead of a computer chip picking a random number, your game results are determined by the actual performance of thoroughbreds on the track. When you spin a reel or click a button, you are technically placing a micro-bet on a live race. You get the excitement of big wins and bright lights, but the math is influenced by actual thoroughbreds. It is a smart way to keep things legal and exciting in states where traditional online slots remain a “no-go.”

A new spin on slot favorites

The site has teased debut titles including Derby of FortuneStallion Fantasy, and Marshmallow Bonanza.

While these games feel like the online slots you know and love, they feature a unique mechanical twist tied to the racing world. Although some features remain in a “wait and see” phase, early screenshots suggest a high-fidelity, engaging user experience.

How to sign up and play

Users 21 or older can access the platform via the GiddyUp app or desktop site. At launch, the platform is available in 17 states, including Alabama, California, Connecticut, Kansas, Michigan, Nevada and New York.

Getting started is a breeze:

  • Sign up: Create an account and complete a quick identity verification.
  • Claim your goods: New players are currently greeted with $5 in free-play credit just for joining. Additionally, the platform offers a one-time 20% credit bonus on a $50 purchase. GiddyUp is also promising daily quests, cashback, and deposit bonuses now that the party has started.
  • Pick a game: Choose from a library of horse-themed titles tailored to your style.
  • Get rewarded: For every friend you refer to GiddyUp, you will receive a $10 reward.

Ready for the winner’s circle?

The gates are officially open for players to experience a new era of parimutuel gaming. To learn more about the vision behind the platform, check out our previous coverage featuring an exclusive interview with the GiddyUp CEO.
