Horse racing can seem daunting for new bettors or even sportsbook bettors looking to place their first horse racing wager. It’s often found on different apps from traditional sports betting sites and the layout including odds and types of wagers will look different from normal sports betting.
We’ll walk you through two of the top platforms for online horse racing, how the odds work and different types of bets just in time for the 2024 Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 8.
1. What apps can I bet the Belmont on?
Luckily, online horse racing is widely-available in over 40 states but sometimes it can be a bit tricky to find the right platform. Our two preferred platforms are TwinSpires and FanDuel Racing.
TwinSpires is an official platform of Churchill Downs and the promo code HANDLERACING provides a $100 bonus for every $400 wagering. You’ll have 30 days to accrue cash bets up to a maximum $400 bonus possible with $1,600 wagered in that time frame.
