They told me that I need to reactivate my account (ok, I understand this) and that for the first three months, I won't be able to withdrawal via electronic check until I become a VIP member (1,000 wagered a month, um that is like 5 wagers for me). She had to put me on hold three times until she could tell me if they had a reward program.

DOWN GOES THE AWD industry......

I would probably have to re-activate mine too, it's been years. I signed up when they first started to check out their software, deposited $100 and when it was gone, I was back to Youbet.

NYRA gets Internet go-ahead
By MATT HEGARTY
The New York State Racing and Wagering Board on Thursday approved an in-home betting license for the New York Racing Association, allowing the association to take wagers over the Internet and "other communications devices," according to a spokesman for the board, Dan Toomey.

NYRA had been seeking the license since the New York legislature authorized Internet wagering operations last year. Although NYRA officials were not immediately available for comment, the association's officials have said that an Internet platform would be launched shortly after the board gave its approval to the program.

Under the law, only New York racetracks and off-track betting corporations can take Internet wagers from New York residents. NYRA has advertised that it will tie in its NYRA rewards program to the Internet platform. The program allows players to receive rebates on handle provided wagering hits certain thresholds each month.

Seems like just an add-on to the already in place NYRA wagering system for NY residents. I love those cheap TV commercials they have on the cable channels in Saratoga every summer. Classic.

But it seems like you can only do it if you're a NY resident.
