Reviews: What Users Say About NYRA Bets
Best app for NY racing! The integration at the track is amazing – I can use my phone balance at the windows. Saratoga meet is so much easier now. The Premier Rewards program has earned me free bets all season.
Jan 2026
Great for NY tracks and the replays are top-notch. Wish the interface was a bit more modern, but it works perfectly. The same-day payouts with Express Funding are clutch.
Dec 2025
The Fox Sports integration is clutch during big races. Love watching Saratoga Live on FS1 and betting right from the app. Expert picks have helped me hit some nice exactas.
Aug 2025
Solid app, same-day payouts are real. Customer service is responsive – called them at 11pm and got through immediately. Only dock for occasional streaming issues on Android.
Nov 2025
The $20 Wednesday Saratoga bonus is a no-brainer if you're betting anyway. Bankroll Builder during Travers week added $160 to my account. This is the only app I use for NY tracks.
