Everi Enters Seven-Year Strategic Relationship with CDI for Financial Technology Related Services

Everi, an IGT brand, announced a seven-year agreement with Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) to utilize Everi’s CashClub services and additional FinTech solutions. CDI will roll out a wide range of Everi FinTech products across their live and historical racing entertainment venues and regional gaming properties. This includes ATM, debit, credit, and check services, as well as Everi Compliance anti-money laundering (AML) technology, and a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to optimize back-end gaming operations.

Bill Mudd, President and COO of CDI, said: “The FinTech agreement with Everi represents a tremendous opportunity for our customers. In addition to advancing our financial technology capabilities, the partnership enhances Title 31 compliance and strengthens our operational excellence. Everi’s technology, scale, and expertise align seamlessly with our growth strategy and will help us deliver the innovative, secure, and seamless experiences our customers expect and deserve.”

Darren Simmons, IGT CEO FinTech, said: “As an iconic brand across gaming and sports and entertainment, Churchill Downs aligns with our philosophy of providing unique patron experiences. We are pleased to enhance their customer journeys and gaming operations with our robust FinTech solutions that offer more diversity in transaction types, process more transactions, and drive more value to the floor than any other supplier in the industry.”

The agreement also builds upon the existing relationship between IGT, Everi and CDI, as Everi’s BeOn Venue Platform powers the Churchill Downs Racetrack mobile app, and IGT provides historical horse racing games and hardware.

By combining Everi’s FinTech innovation with IGT’s global infrastructure, operators can benefit from a flexible, modular foundation that delivers smarter data, stronger compliance, and personalized engagement at every touchpoint. Together, IGT and Everi are reimagining how payments, loyalty, and compliance come together — helping operators move faster, serve smarter, and lead the next era of connected gaming.
