They say that you're required to use your youbet points after 2 years from receiving them, if not they expire. Which leads me to another reason why i like twinspires, youbet offered ZERO players rewards points for BC plays this past weekend, yet if you bet delta downs on a thursday you get double points, or something awful like that.

as far as the "insider information" goes, i had none with this. It makes sense in the fact that Churchill downs is a bigger company, they've already made efforts to acquire similar assest/competition and take a bigger chunk of the pie. And though ubet has had a good run stock wise, they were really no match for the bigger churchill downs in the long term IMO. I think its a great deal for all involved

Haven't ever been to twinspires site, so can't make comparison, will take your word their tv is great...Tv at the otb not a whole lot better than what i get at YB, on good days at least....Forgot about the two year rule, my points don't linger..I cash in for vouchers when i tap out avoiding deposits when i can...year or so ago they cut out points at all the major tracks or only offer 10 or so....I play mostly 'smaller' tracks that i like...2-3 months ago they reduced points at ALL tracks...tracks that offered 140 exotic points dropped to 80...ticked me off....I wasn't aware of this merger till i read this post...'
