Those in Alabama cannot use the FanDuel Racing website, at least for the time being.  There are plenty of alternatives however.

Alabama is unique, at least where FanDuel Racing is concerned.

While online horse racing betting is generally legal and websites are readily available in Alabama, the state lacks a regulatory framework for advance deposit wagering (ADW).  FanDuel Racing requires this legal framework in order to operate.  This absence of regulation means that FanDuel has not extended its services to Alabama residents.​

BetOnline

BetOnline isn't just a race book.  They are one of the biggest sportsbooks in the world.  You have the ability to place bets on sports, play in their live dealer casino and wager in the race book, all with a single betting account.

BetOnline will never ask you for a social security number.  They do not report your winnings (you still will want to self-report where applicable).

This sportsbook has been in business since 1999.  In fact, we visited their office the first week they opened shop.

BetOnline offers an 9 percent rebate, which works this way:

  • The following wager types are NOT eligible for rebates:
    • $2 to All wagers that pay $2.20 or less than $2
    • Tracks in categories D & E
    • Matchup bets
    • Fixed odds bets
    • Propositional bets
  • Internet wagers will receive a 9% daily rebate on exotic wagers and a 4% rebate for Win, Place Show wagers at category A, B and C racetracks.
  • Telephone wagers will receive a 5% daily rebate on exotics and a 2% rebate for Win Place Show. The only exceptions to this rule are that both online and phone wagers on NYRA tracks will receive a 4% rebate.
  • There is no limit to how much a player may earn as well as no minimum volume of wagers that need to be placed.
  • BetOnline reserves the right to discontinue or cancel rebates at their discretion.
  • BetOnline reserves the right to remove customers from our Rebate Program.
  • No rebates will be awarded on cancelled wagers or wagers that have been refunded due to a scratch.
