Let me offer you something very important to the *horse racing* industry : Xpressbet, TVG, and DRFBets are all "middle men" taking a portion of the rake as their profit. While this will not be popular to say, these platforms do not need to exist.
However, NYRABets directly feeds the NYRA pools which is the best benefit to New York racing in general.
Now, if you live in a state where NYRABets is still not permitted, I can understand looking at other platforms, but as a bettor, I want to think primarily about my platform provider being directly linked to the racing operation. Also, if you want to play specific tracks not covered on NYRABets (for example, if you like playing the Meadowlands for harness racing), you would need a second provider.
As for initial matches on deposits, whether it be $100, $200, or whatever, that money will be long forgottem a year from now - so I am not sure that U would decide solely based on that come-aboard rate.
