Brisbet/Winticket
 

is this old news but am I the only one extremely irritated that in a week no Hollywood, no Belmont, no Calder for people who use Ameritab wagering platforms?????

TVG is making lots of friends

yep sucks. Guess i will actually have to drive the 6 miles to the OTB for my NYRA bets.

I am keeping hope that they will have this cleared up before Saratoga starts. Not sure if they are exclusive to TVG or not.

I am happy to be reassured that i will be able to continue to play AP and their new poly from the comfort of...well my anywhere...

That will probably change, I would think Bris doesn't want that negativity, especially with this new platform coming......

I don't get what you guys are talking about.

is there an article on this? those tracks show up in the bris schedule.

Bris signed with Churchill/Magna today and it thus makes them not get the other contracts I guess.

but that article does not say that brisbet will not be getting Belmont, Calder, Holly.

They edited it, it must have been incorrect.

This is what the email from Bris said:

Dear Customer,

We want to let you know about recent developments that may affect the services that we are able to offer you through your BrisBET.com account.

Despite our best efforts to retain the most comprehensive racing content possible, recent developments in the account wagering environment have forced some business decisions that will soon affect your ability to wager on certain racetracks.

Effective Thursday, May 3, there will be changes to the AmericaTab racetrack lineup. These changes are due to a recent decision to enter into an agreement with the newly-formed TrackNet Media Group LLC, a joint-venture between Churchill Downs, Inc., and Magna Entertainment Corp. AmericaTab recently became the first account wagering company to sign a content agreement with TrackNet Media, making it a preferred TrackNet partner and giving our customers access to wagering on all Churchill Downs and Magna racetracks.

In tandem with this decision, AmericaTab elected not to renew its sub-licensing agreement with Television Games Network (TVG). Because of this decision, AmericaTab will be unable to offer wagering on racetracks that are designated as "exclusive" TVG racetracks, due to contractual obligations that, in the end, hurt the customer.

This is a fluid situation, and one that could change significantly in the coming weeks and months. But as of the time of this writing, effective on May 3, the following racetracks will not be available for wagering through AmericaTab for the month of May:

Through May 31, 2007:
Domestic: International:
Calder Race Course Japan Racing
Emerald Downs
Hollywood Park
Arlington Park (until early Aug.)
Los Alamitos
New Jersey (Med, Mth)
New York Racing Association ( Belmont Park )
Prairie Meadows

It is possible that some of these tracks may soon become available through your wagering account. We will endeavor to inform you quickly of any changes to the product lineup, including additional tracks that AmericaTab may not be able to carry beyond the month of May. We will do this primarily via e-mail and on our websites.

Our goal remains to offer our customers more racing product than any other account wagering company, along with maintaining the best customer service in the industry.

We regret that these business developments and decisions will affect you, and AmericaTab continues to explore all possible means to regaining content as quickly as possible.

Also, keep in mind that we have an upcoming promotion during Kentucky Derby week. For all active customers, we are giving away a commemorative Mint Julep Derby glass during April 29 - May 5. Simply make an EZMoney deposit of $250 during that timeframe, or wager $499 or more on the Churchill Downs signal to qualify.

Should you have any questions regarding the upcoming schedule changes, please feel free to contact our Customer Service department at 1-800-597-5661. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Ted Mudge
President

Okay, now I understand, I didn't see that email before.

I like how they stress customer service, and after saying that several top line tracks will not be on the menu, they have the nerve to remind everyone that they have a Mint Julep Glass promotion. Deposit $250, get a glass. BFD, keep your glasses idiots.

TVG is getting squeezed big time, trust me, it will change. Youbet JUST got Meadowlands/Monmouth back starting tomorrow.

Quite honestly, I wish their was just one of these f'n AWD's that carried ALL TRACKS. a novel idea

TVG is getting worked. Love it.
