Can’t Bet on Xpressbet From Pennsylvania? Limits Encompass Philadelphia, Erie

While Xpressbet seemingly allows customers to bet on the Preakness Stakes, Kentucky Derby, Breeders Cup and other big horse racing events from the state of Pennsylvania, most living there can’t take advantage.

That’s because anyone living within a certain distance from specified tracks are prohibited and that includes the entire Philadelphia area.

Have no fear, websites the likes of BetOnline, which has been in business since 1999 and offers a 7 percent track rebate plus a risk-free $25 free bet, welcome all customers from the Keystone State even if you happen to live right next store to the race track.

Best of all, you won’t have to provide your social security number or fill out any tax forms at BetOnline, unlike the requirements at XpressBet.com.

Residents located within 35 miles of Parx, Penn National, Pocono Downs, Harrahs Philly, or Presque Isle Downs are prohibited from opening Xpressbet accounts.

All wagers made by Pennsylvania residents at Xpressbet, regardless of the minimum bet amount established by the host track or its regulators, must have a minimum ticket cost of $2.00.  This does not apply at BetOnline or similar international-based race books.
