TwinSpires Horse Race Betting Reviews

by Spaceh0gg

The night before the NFL season kicks off, and he app is down for maintenance! I opened an account, deposited money, and was all ready to place a wager to take advantage of the very generous NFL Kickoff sign up offer for the TB-DAL Thursday night opener when, all of a sudden, TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting no longer works. 🙄 Unfortunately for me, I had to leave a state that offers sports betting to go to one that does not have sports betting for the day, and I can't use that offer. What a joke! I guess I'll be withdrawing my money and sticking with Draftkings, BetMGM, Fanduel, Pointsbet, theScore Bet, Caesar's and Unibet. Then I'll give it a bad review and delete TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting . Also, where's the back button in TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting so a user can go back to the previous page.

I had to change the address on a check that was sent to me, contacted customer service literally right after. I was reassured they’d take care of it. Two weeks pass, apparently they didn’t send the check to the correct address. They reassure me again and send out a check to the correct address but screw up again, send a third check and stop payment on the second one even though I received and cashed it because they overnighted it. Now I’m stuck paying fees on my account because of the screw up, they refuse to do anything to remedy the situation of their screw up of sending me multiple checks I didn’t ask for.

I downloaded their app and made a $50 deposit to get on the Kentucky Derby using their link. Turns out it was a link to their sports book which doesn’t include horse racing. They have a separate app for that (not mentioned in the ad I used the link on). The horse racing app requires a whole new account t and log in but here’s the kicker. The original link I used promised a “Risk free bet and deposit bonus”. Guess what - you don’t get that on the racing app. As a matter of fact, they actually charge you $5 to make a deposit on their race betting app. Yeah, they charge you $5 to gamble with them. ALL THE OTHER GAMBLING SITES PAY YOU TO MAKE A DEPOSIT. THIS ONE CHARGES YOU TO DO SO. YES THEY MAKE YOU PAY THEM TO DEPOSIT MONEY ON THEIR SITE. Long story short, now I have to wait 3-5 days to get my money back from the original deposit I made at the link TwinSpires provided to bet on horses, because they are frauds and the link didn’t allow horse betting. I needed a separate account not eligible for any of the promised bonuses to bet on horses. Wild that they are getting away with obvious consumer deception.

Joined 6wks ago & nothing but issues. If your address doesn’t match their database when you join, instead of telling you that, it gives you an error and tells you to try again. Of course you do that, until you get locked out & have to call them. On two big racing weekends, TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting didn’t display correct odds. Sometimes favorite showing 99-1. You could not view bets made or balance. You could place bets, but of course, you could not cancel them. Both times it took 24hrs to fix. Think you hit that promotion? Think again. Myself & an employee read rules and came to same conclusion. But no, we were both wrong because “promotion is poorly worded, but nothing can be done since you didn’t satisfy terms”. If your own employees can’t decipher promotion terms, how do you expect us to? I know, it’s not your money being wasted. They also own BetAmerica, so beware unless you like major headaches. I closed my account & will wager elsewhere.

I placed a single $4 wager and my account was debited for a total of $18. (2 separate $9 charges). When I contact customer service, I was initially told that they only saw a transaction of $4 on my account. They then tried to tell me that my bank must have charged me fees to deposit $ in the first place. When I challenged this infuriation as incorrect, all of a sudden I was told that TwinSpires had a $5 fee per deposit. I explained that I never approved the hidden fee once let alone twice. She proceeded to say that she could now see a $1 debit on her end to which there was no explanation. She said she asked her supervisor what to do but I was never allowed to speak with a supervisor despite specifically asking to speak to one. Ultimately, she offered to send me a check for $4 that I would receive in 10 days. I was told there was nothing she could do to refund me the $10 in hidden fees. This is a SCAM. Beware of similar fault. I will be notifying NBC to re-evaluate their relationship with this company since NBC advertised for them. I also advised customer service that TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting developers needed to improve their app. They took $14 of my money for a single $4 wager placed.

I used TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting to bet on the Ky Derby, super easy to upload money to your account and place bets. However, after winning money on the Derby I tried to withdraw my winnings. This is where they get you! It wouldn’t let me withdraw my money or request a check which I figured they were waiting for my funds to clear from my deposit that morning. A week later, still won’t allow me to withdraw my funds. Therefore, I messaged the assistant through TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting and he proceeded to tell me I have to call the office to speak with them?! What a hassle just to get my money back even though it was super easy for them to take my money!!!! I wouldn’t recommend TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting unless you plan on never winning or getting your money back after winning!!!

Do not give them any of your information. This is not legit. They exist not for betting but solely to steal your information. They say there is no way to delete your account info. They only disable your account.

The Twin Spires app was advertised during the Kentucky Derby about 5 years ago, 2017 or 2018? I thought this was legit place. I was unable to use it to bet in the Kentucky Derby, luckily. My credit card declined the transaction because it would have been sending cash.

There is no way to delete your account and your info like your phone number and birthdate. Yes now I know never to give that info and should have given a fake. The whole reason of this “company” is to steal our info probably to sell the info, to where the dark web?

by Tucktownbetdown

I like most of the stats that TwinSpires has to offer. I am not oblivious to the fact that this is a gambling platform, with that being said, I’m aware that the more information immediately available the greater the chances the player has of winning. How ever it would be nice to be able to see a symbol referencing horses that have matched each other in prior races. Maybe an asterisk symbol next to the name, informing the program viewer that horses within that field have faced each other before. Let’s be honest, it is up to the player to review prior races to said race to see race times and watch the race to the how the horse and jockey performed, which is what I do.
Thanks

Twin Spires tries to do everything first class, and for the most part they succeed. I was very disappointed to see their best wagering feature omitted from TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting. The LEGACY CLASSIC WAGERING INTERFACE has no peer on planet Earth.
It was designed for large screens as in pc or MAc. So to get it to really rock on an ipad you need to flip your screen to landscape mode.
Still, TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting is likely the best thing for iphone users. Those of us too old or too physically challenged to be part of the on the go crowd anymore will always prefer the clarity and ease of the legacy classic. But for the 95% of the betting public this is an outstanding piece of work!

Thank you for finally updating TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting!
The last version wasn’t too bad, but it really stunk that you didn’t have face recognition for the longest time. (I don’t have the home button in my iPhone anymore) it was always frustrating when I wanted to make a quick bet, but couldn’t because I had to put my password in manually and I would miss the opportunity to bet because the race was closed.

I also love how much easier it is to make a bet now.

by Bob Biggs

on iphone 10 ios 12 TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting crashes which is frustrating. video doesn’t function with ipad also with ios 12. I simply do not understand why someone can’t enhance video replay to only use the normal replay mode and not head on replays. You don’t even know which horse you are trying to watch because it doesn’t give #’s on the mini running line. Another frustrating thing is face ID is a waste because app still asks for password and gives you the message that PW is required. Please fix this!

by JosephCourter

There is no better feeling than seeing your winning bet hit the board. TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting is great because it lets that happen anywhere any time there is a live race. It allows you to watch almost any race in the country and multiple International races. Deposits and withdrawals are very simple. I have never had an issue with either the whole time I have been using TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting (2+ years). Research for any part of any race is effortless. With just a few taps you can see and compare anything you could see on a daily racing form, but it’s in an easier to read format here. You also have the ability to watch replays of a horse’s previous races. And so many other great features. Very convenient and simple to use. Even when at the track or OTB facility I still use TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting. Using TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting I have been able to cut time in half while handicapping races. Highly recommend. 5/5 stars!

The completely revised version is awesome. I’ve been using TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting for a few years and this new version is incredible. It’s so different it did take a little getting used to after using the old version, but it’s so much better once you get used to it. The navigation improvements are huge as well as the display changes. It’s also much faster in response time. I’m a long time developer of business apps and appreciate a vastly improved user experience (UX). Well done, architects and developers. Give that team a huge bonus.

by HopingOnHorses

The new redesign is absolutely horrendous. I’ve been a user for over four years and have logged in at least three times a week even if just to watch horse racing with no money invested. However, I’ve also spent and won thousands over that time period as well. The old experience was user friendly, intuitive, fun and NEVER had any issues.

This new design is obviously the brainchild of some over zealous “experience designer” who prioritizes flash over function. As someone who works in digital development, I can wholeheartedly say this one of the crappiest updates I’ve ever seen to a previously seamless experience.

My usage has dropped off the map and I find it visually revolting enough that I can’t even bring myself to work through the neon barf that is this new experience.

Shame on you TwinSpires for innovating yourself out of a working and highly enjoyable solution.

Change it back and fire whatever idiot convinced you this would improve your engagement and revenue generation.

So frustrating.

I’ve tried all the online horse betting apps, and twinspires is by far the best. The new iPhone app is soeasy to use. TVG is a safe and sensible way to bet when you can’t be there in person. Deposits are easy and your money is always safe. Want to cash out? It’s no problem at TVG. Direct deposits, bank wires: Your winnings are easy to withdraw at TVG. This is not possible at other sites-apparently. They are always figuring out ways to take more of your money. TVG has money back promotions and wager rewards that get money back to the player. Always loved the website -till TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting came along-I’m hooked! TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting is great!

BEST BETTING APP AROUND!! In recent races the odds have been better than ever. As a result of this I have won a lot of money and I could not be happier. I am now planning to go to the Kentucky Derby in May cause I have won a lot! The expert picks feature really helps me out when I am trying to decide between two horses. The customer service for TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting is great and very helpful. I feel as if my deposited money is very safe with them and I have not experienced any major problems with TwinSpires as of yet. I would recommend this horse race betting app to anyone that is looking for one or is interested in starting up. It is a great app for people of all levels of horse racing knowledge

by VentrisJ

TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting has all of the core features people look for in a horse racing app. Fantastic promotions and welcomes offers, watch the races live on TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting without any buffering and safe and secure withdrawals. I first got into horse racing when I was young and deliberated for a while going with an app rather than going into a shop or betting on the internet. I have to say it was one of the best decisions I have made recently, the welcome offer give you more than enough money to play with and I have been rather fortunate this racing season. I won the UK grand national, the US Preakness stakes and more recently the Traves Stakes. I have had no issues withdrawing my money and I recommend TwinSpires to all of my family and friends.

For decades live cameras have paid more attention to the horse that wins rather than those of us who support the races through our wagers: Simply watch any race and you will witness the camera follow the winner for almost up to 3 furlongs after the finish line and then another 4 furlongs back to the winners circle. The point I’m making is how about focusing on who came in 2nd, 3rd , and 4th so we bettors who support horse racing know immediately if we won the exacta, trifecta, superfecta, or pick 5 and even place and show wagers. In case you race track owners haven’t figuered it out yet not everyone bets win only . Why make us wait at least 2 minutes after each race to see if we are winners or losers. Bettors deserve more respect than owners. Without us racing would not be able to supply purse money for owners . Alan,

TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting is really good and is very simple to use. However, it recently has started crashing every single time it is opened up. Stays open for about 20-30 seconds and then crashes and shuts down. If/when they fix this issue, TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting will be back to the top as the best one for track betting

Update to the above: as it turns out the issues I was having had nothing to do with TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting itself and it was an Apple issue. Once I updated my phone that app began working great again without any crashing! Back to being the king of betting apps

by Lanceob

Yikes. The new speed/class/pace tabs are terrible compared to the old speed tab. I always thought that's what set you guys apart from the other racing apps but now it's just like them. It actually keeps getting worse. What happened to the horse info? Past races, jockey, trainer, sire, etc?

I still can't get over how much I hate this update. I've never seen something so great go to complete crap so fast. Its taken the joy away of betting and watching races when not at the track. Please put it back the way it was. Why try to fix something that wasn't broken!??

by The Silverfox

Did NOT use TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting! You will find fees that you are not told about. When I signed up and charged my credit card for my account I was told of a five dollar fee to use a credit card. What was the not Mentioned at all was TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting bills the credit card as a cash advance. You are then charged a cash advance fee in addition to the fee to charge your credit card. Granted the cash advance fee is from the bank. But I would never have used TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting to bet on the Kentucky Derby knowing that I was paying two fees to sign up. After I get back the money still on the posit with a app I won’t be using it ever again.

by BFergy11

The last couple weeks - maybe since ios update- performance has been awful. Crashes frequently, usually after watching a race go back to races screen and it crashes.
Also if you click watch but havent signed in yet, once you sign in and watch the results never appear once the race is over. Also during this case you cannot see the “will pays” in the next race unless you close out TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting completely and re-log in.
It is time for an upgrade Twin Spires!!!!
these frequent crashes are not found on other ADW apps which have been receiving more of my action lately

by Omega Cron

TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting is great sometimes. It lets you watch live and bet right up until the last minute that’s cool. But there is a cancel limit! That they never tell you about till you hit it. Why would they do this when TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting regularly crashes during the betting process and often doubles places my bets and they won’t allow you to cancel the second one. They really don’t care about customers. Just the profit. Also listen to the live odds not the apps they lie and the star in the angels normally means the horse will lose not win like they say.

by Jjkchb

Simple, intuitive, fast way to place your turf wagers with a few extremely aggravating little problems. Maybe it’s me or my IPhone 6s but TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting seems to freeze up about once every couple of weeks requiring the de-install/re-install dance. And I wish it was easier to navigate around particularly from one track to another. All in all, I far prefer it to competitors and I’ve tried most.

by J123df

Have been betting with TwinSpires for years and TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting has continued to get better over time but I'm finding it annoying that with the new update TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting opens and you can see races etc but doesn't prompt you to log in until your trying to submit a bet. I don't know about anyone else but when I'm in the middle of a last minute bet having to take time out to login is stressful, please go back to logging in as soon as you open TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting .

by Mareyroo

I’ve been using the Twin Spires app for years now and it’s one of the simplest, fun, consistent apps out there! If you want to know the truth about apps, Apple should add how long the person has had TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting on their review. Because those are the ones I would pay more attention to, good or bad. I’ve had TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting at least 3-4 years and I have not had one problem. Also, it’s the quickest app to figure out and use properly because it’s in the style of how you make your bets at the track!

by Bigman1972

This really does the trick.
Trustworthy company with decent functioning app.
Make sure you sign up and fund before you want to start betting. 5 minutes to post is not the time to start messing about with registration and bank details.
TwinSpiresHorseRaceBetting keeps improving with time so looking forward to some good weekends in the stands, not having to go down and queuing at the betting window!

When trying to place bets on concurrent races need to login in again after watching the previous race. The extra time needed does not allow me to place on the new race in time. Need to fix this bug to allow one touch login or stay logged in until I sign out. Find much lag time with the website.
