I have a NYRA Rewards account but can't find where you can wager on-line.

I called NYRA and they said it was not available yet. Hopefully in a couple of days. He said they would post it on NYRA.com when available.

Thanks. I have a BrisBet account and they no longer take NY. Not surprised that it was not ready on the day they said it would be.

Youbet takes NY tracks, I have had an account with them for years and they are very good but they don't take CDI or MEC tracks so I opened an NYRA account last week so I could bet Churchill.

OTBs, casinos, phone accounts for OTB, lottery, etc is all available in CT but Blumenthal wants to stop this?? I guess he has nothing better to do.

Does Youbet allow a link to a checking acocunt to wire money back and forth for funding?

Yes.

The deposits are instantaneous and the withdrawls take 2-3 business days.

I use Youbet and live in CT. I fund it through a Citibank checking account. This whole thing doesn't make any sense to me.

CT has some pretty stupid laws. You cannot buy a scalped ticket on eBay or any other online service at more that the face value of the ticket plus handling charges if the event is in the state of CT and you and/or the seller is a resident of CT. Crazy.

I live in CT and use Winticket (AmericaTab). I wanted to set up an account with NYRA since Winticket had to drop the TVG tracks. Thanks Blumenthal for protecting me! I can drive to a casino or an OTB, that's fine, but not the internet?

He claims that he's protecting children and compulsive gamblers. What a guy.
