NYRA REWARDS MEMBERS TO RECEIVE 50 PERCENT MORE POINTS FOR WAGERING ONLINE AND ON-TRACK IN APRIL

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) is offering 50 percent more points to NYRA Rewards members who wager online through www.nyrarewards.com or on-track at Aqueduct Racetrack or the Belmont Café during the month of April.

All NYRA Rewards members are eligible for the online and on-track promotion. Bets made by phone or mobile device do not qualify for extra points under the terms of this promotion.

NYRA Rewards, which is free to sign up for and 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 has simplified the online sign-up process for its account wagering service, allowing individuals to instantly open, fund, and bet from NYRA Rewards accounts set up at www.nyrarewards.com, all with 10 minutes to post.

Sign-ups are also available at the customer service booth at Aqueduct and the Belmont Cafe.

NYRA Rewards is open seven days a week, has free live online streaming available, offers customers the convenience of express funding and electronic withdrawals to their checking accounts, does not require members to maintain a minimum account balance, and does not charge any wagering transaction fees.
