I currently use:

• Fanduel (almost exclusively),
• DraftKings - I stopped using when they started requiring that you have to upload your drivers license, and I believe one other form of identification),
• Xpressbet - (I don't use often enough).  One of the biggest differentiators with this app / website is that they offer past performance programs.  There is a fee, but it's rebated if you place any bet at that track.  If memory serves me correctly, International past performance programs are free right up front.

I am not sure the sign-up bonuses now, but when I initially signed up they were generous enough to entice me.  And, I'm proud to say that I have never had to add any moeny to my DraftKings account.  When I did have to add to my Fanduel account, I was later able to withdraw those additional funds.

On Xpressbet I keep a nominal amount in the account ($10.00), so I can purchase a program if I want.

Which app gets your hard earned money?

I'm fortunate to have the luxury of conducting all my business from the desktop and large screen.  Having big fingers, and small screens I try to avoid, whomever the ADW, and I have several I'm appreciative and have used the APPs.  Unfortunately my go to ADW NYRABets app has along with others had issues so there is a feature where you can log into the website as well from the smart phone too.

Being a Florida resident there seems to be perks at the time of registration enjoyed by me and others not in NYS where they a located (NYC) based on various rules, laws.  Not sure if that is still the case.  On a nominal week I'm picking up 6.5% on VIP rewards weekly sometimes over 10%.  Great contests and perks.  When their flagship track, Saratoga opened this year they had one bonus where any member can deposit in ACH Express Funding and get a 25% bonus on that deposit up to $50 rewarded on up to $200 deposited.

One contest was pick the winner of every race at a NYRA track that day and split $10k or so with all that did it successfully too, it rained lots of scratches so I just bet $1 win on everyone in every race, the next day I nearly tripled my investment with that bonus.  Duh, math lol!

I prefer not to have a hold on any withdrawal amount (hold time until deposits clear bank account), and ACH Express they advance you the money to wager instantly (be careful there) unlike simple ACH it's deposited when it clears - I pay no fees for debit card deposits and use ACH withdrawals which are as fast as lightening, about 1 business day, sometimes next biz day.

The NYRABets VP of marketing / VIP Rewards boss, Donnie Nelson is a friend.  I get incredible, exclusive invites to the tracks, VIP access, I have old doggies at home needing care so I'm going nowhere lol.  We text when he's on track, great times, great info too - and he's a harness horse owner!  I'm not a high roller by any means more so at the bottom level of that category, I just have a long, very good relationship with people like these.  At the BigM Jeff Gural, Jason Settlemore too, I have a question, issue, I get an immediate response and attentive dialogue.
