Bigger rewards for NYRA Rewards members in April

Posted

The New York Racing Association, Inc. is offering 50 percent more points to NYRA Rewards members who wager online throughout April. All NYRA Rewards members are eligible for the online and on-track promotion, and can wager through www.nyrarewards.com, or on-track at Aqueduct Racetrack or the Belmont Café. Bets made by phone or mobile device do not qualify for extra points.

  NYRA Rewards, for which it is free to sign up, and which returns the largest rebates among all account wagering platforms based in the United States, allows horseplayers to earn cash back for wagers made on-track, through the NYRA Rewards telephone service, on mobile devices, and online through www.nyrarewards.com. Customers receive their rebate on the first of each month, with the payment based on their level of wagering activity over the previous month.

   NYRA Rewards is open seven days a week. Those interested in NYRA Rewards can sign up online, or at the customer service booths at Aqueduct Racetrack and the Belmont Café.
