Why we rate AmWager
AmWager is a horseplayer’s racebook. It carries the most advanced wagering toolkit of any US ADW — faster odds and pool updates, ABC/conditional/Dutch wagering, exchange pools and Colossus Jackpots — plus 500+ tracks, live streaming and a simple 2–5% cashback rewards program. Its customer support is widely considered the best in the industry. The one real gap: AmWager does not carry Churchill Downs tracks, so it can’t offer Kentucky Derby or Kentucky Oaks wagering (it’s working to secure a Churchill Downs contract). It does cover the Preakness, the Breeders’ Cup and most other US and international racing.
What we like
- The most advanced wagering toolkit of any US ADW (ABC, conditional & Dutch wagering, exchange pools)
- 500+ tracks worldwide, plus greyhounds, with live streaming and replays
- Simple, generous 2–5% cashback rewards (no complex points)
- Industry‑best customer support and fast payouts
- AmWager Plus (casual) and AmWager Pro (advanced handicapping)
What to know
- No Churchill Downs tracks — cannot offer Kentucky Derby or Kentucky Oaks wagering
- Less brand recognition than TwinSpires or TVG
- Internal policy requires 21+ to bet online
- Some states impose track restrictions or source‑market fees

Where AmWager is legal
AmWager is available in roughly 27 states that regulate online horse racing, holding ADW licenses in most major racing jurisdictions. Some states impose track restrictions or source‑market fees (e.g. New Mexico residents can’t bet in‑state tracks), so eligible tracks and rewards vary by state — verify availability in‑app.
