I'm not suggesting that they are are BSing about the contractual obligations. What I am saying is that rather than forcing the bettors to dig into their pockets to pay for the PPs, OTB would be better served by paying its contractual partners for the right to redistribute them to its patrons. The lost percentage of handle (and keep in mind that OTB gets in excess of 10 cents of every dollar wagered) is likely to far outweigh the cost to OTB of providing the PPs to its best players free of charge.
