I have an opportunity to possibly start playing through them (Youbet owns them but they are a licensed rebate shop, alot like Pinnacle). Hoping someone here has played through them or had the opportunity.

Scav-

I didn't see this before but I've been using them since July. The rebates are excellent but in efforts to bump up my handle, I know I've forced a number of wagers that I would never have bet otherwise.

International Racing Group (i think). An offshore bought up by Youbet that provides rebates to large customers. They took the whale business and did about $300. mil of youbets $750 mil business. I havenot been able to find out specifics of how much the minimum limits and /or rebates are, but they go like 8% i heard. They are US legal. I was just about to go with Pinnacle when they stopped their US business and am looking for a legal and trustworthy rebate shop.

THE REAL PG

The rebates range from between 7% all the way up to around 16%, depending on the track and wager type. There are a number of tracks that IRG does NOT take, including NYRA tracks, Oaklawn, Tampa Bay and Delaware. And all betting is done via telephone; not the internet. If you bet for fun, IRG is not for you. If you are a serious player and push big money thru day in day out, its worth considering.
FWIW, they may be more restrictive now, since Pinnacle quit. I'm sure they were bombarded with the new requests following that dark, January 11th announcement from Pinny.
