I still cannot understand why it is differnet among the different ADW's. I can understand not being able to bet Turf Paradise, which could potentially take money out of the state, but it is completely different between the others.
TVG will not open an account period in Arizona.
Youbet will take accounts here, but no wagering over the internet, just over the phone.
America Tab/Xpressbet will take accounts here, allow wagering over the phone and over the internet.
Why the differences? If someone can explain, please do...

It is extremely frustrating and ridiculous. I switched to AmericaTab after my state racing commission put the kabosh on ExpressBet. So now, because of their further bickering, after May 3rd, none of the tracks that love betting on this time of year will be carried by AmericaTab, so I essentially have nothing.
I cannot join YouBet because they are not Mac compatible. I cannot join TVG because they do not allow accounts from Colorado. Argh!
I am a die hard fan, and watch racing for the joy of it, more than the gambling aspect, but I still like to place a well timed bet on a fairly regular basis. I wont stop watching horse racing, I grew up on the track, and it is in my blood, but I can really see how this situation will be driving others away from the sport. This is a consequence horse racing can ill afford to happen. They really need to wake up and come to some kind of mutual agreements, before it's too late.
