### 1/5 — Advertised code DOES NOT WORK

*2026-08-12, version 2.6.1*

Deposit match does not work and the app makes it purposefully difficult to cash out after depositing

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2026-08-08, version 2.6.1*

Misleading advertisements - do not download. Also getting paid is near impossible. They’re so behind the times!

### 1/5 — Disgusting scammy app

*2026-08-01, version 2.6.1*

Doesnt let you pull your money out at all

### 1/5 — Dep & WD

*2026-07-27, version 2.6.1*

No problem taking Apple Pay but better make sure you have an idea of how to withdraw. Will take about 2 weeks from what I’m seeing

### 5/5 — NYRA

*2026-07-19, version 2.6.1*

Top for horse gambling

### 3/5 — Know What You’re Getting

*2026-07-17, version 2.6.1*

The service in itself seems passable.  The poor video quality on the iPad is disappointing, and the video has a “hitch” on my Mac.  The video on the phone seems smoothest.

### 1/5 — Not working on IPADS

*2026-06-30, version 2.6.1*

Video does not open or enlarge using iPad. Reported for weeks and not fixed. Poor programming and customer service. Track changes not working anymore. Broken and refuse to fix. Moved on to Fan Dual.

### 5/5 — Happy with this site

*2026-06-14, version 2.6.1*

This site has made horse race wagering simple and convenient. Great site!

### 1/5 — Withdrawing Money is a pain

*2026-06-09, version 2.6.1*

Deposit with Apple Pay and you can gamble instantly. Want to get your winnings out. Well to bad you now need to deposit a min of $20 with a bank account. Wait 7 days for $20 to clear. Then you withdraw. What a ridiculous process. Seems deliberately slow to encourage gambling. No surprise there. Probably marketed as a way to prevent fraud but who is buying that when you every other gambling app allows withdraws in such an easier way. No thanks I’ll still with DK or FD.

### 1/5 — Withdraw sucks

*2026-06-09, version 2.6.1*

So hard to withdrawal don’t even bother putting money in
