The New York Racing Association is pleased to announce that NYRA Bets is now available in Kentucky, and will become available in Virginia on New Year's Day, January 1 for residents 18-years-and older. 

"NYRA Bets is proud to expand into Kentucky, the thoroughbred capital of the world, and bring our services to the passionate followers of our sport in Virginia. We're thrilled that horseplayers in both states will soon have access to the most advanced wagering platform available," said Tony Allevato, President of NYRA Bets and Executive Producer for NYRA TV. "We thank our loyal customers, and look forward to reaching new fans going forward."

NYRA Bets offers lucrative rewards, instant signup, free funding options, no wagering transactions fees and three convenient ways to wager: on-track, online or via a mobile device.

New users who sign up for NYRA Bets are eligible to earn up to $150 in bonuses. To earn the bonus, new sign-ups must wager $150 within 14 days of opening a new account. New users that do not meet this requirement still have a chance to earn a $100 bonus as long as they wager $100 within 30 days of account registration.

Since launching in early August during the 2016 Saratoga meet, NYRA Bets has provided horseplayers with on-demand analysis for NYRA races, horse-specific replays and stats, the ability to view multiple video feeds and the ability to copy tickets quickly and easily, among other exciting options.
