Don't know how NYRA software works when out of their service area but I know for my NJ TVG account my APP will not accept a bet outside of NEW Jersey... Not sure what NYRA does. That would be your hurdle in my mind not CD blocking WIFI to certain URL's

What can you do if out of NJ ? Can you get another ADW for betting outside NJ only, ?

This will be my 2nd derby. Last year I was surprised how empty the windows were up to the Derby. For the undercard you could make a wager easily with 5 minutes to post. They were touting a betting app that I believe was separate from Twin Spires to make bets. My partner went online with his phone and was able to make bets all day. I'll always remember that I was amazed that so many of the tellers seemed to be on the job for the first day. Ask for a part wheel or something not too complicated and they gave you a look like you were speaking a foreign language. I assumed that they would staff the windows with their most experienced people but I was wrong. That said even with the non stop rain and minor inconveniences I had a ball and this year I hope to add to the good times and stay dry.

The NYRA Bets app uses geo location and is blocked in many states but you can still access on your phone using your internet browser. I do it frequently.

Can’t provide any insight on ability to access WiFi or LTE, etc while there.
