BetDSI.com is one of a handful of reputable online racebooks where you will be able to bet this year’s Breeders Cup Classic from the great state of Texas.
Websites such as Xpressbet and TwinSpires.com prohibit betting from the state of Texas due to regulatory conditions placed on them. BetDSI.com, which has been in business since 1997, allows those in Texas to place bets on its website and, unlike Xpressbet and TwinSpires, does not require you provide a social security number.
Hundreds of thousands of bets on Saturday’s race will be placed with the few dozen offshore racebooks that do accept customers from these states, which are otherwise prohibited by Xpressbet and TwinSpires:
Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands.
Most offshore online books do accept residents of these jurisdictions.
A number of these states either do not allow gambling (i.e. Utah, Hawaii) or do not have horse racing.
