Handicapping Contests

Feed your competitive edge with handicapping contests nearly every week! Live money handicapping contests allow you to compete alongside contestants online through NYRA Bets. The contest includes Aqueduct races (at least 5 races of your choice). Follow along with the races on America's Day at the Races while keeping track of your leaderboard standings on NYRA Bets. After the contest, your bankroll and prize winnings are shifted back into your NYRA Bets account to start betting or to withdraw.

Pre-registration through NYRA Bets is required. Visit NYRA Bets for more details on participating online in NYRA Contests. NYRA Bets customers in Colorado, Montana and Washington cannot participate due to state law. For questions regarding the Contests, contact [email protected].
