This is going to be big.
Youbet & TwinSpires now offer online wagering's biggest and best features all in one site.
Youbet is now TwinSpires
Youbet.com is now TwinSpires
Earlier this year Churchill Downs Incorporated completed its merger with Youbet.com. As a result of the merger, we are combining the best features of both services into one platform at TwinSpires.com.
When you visit Youbet.com on, or soon after, Tuesday, November 16th you will be redirected to TwinSpires.com and will be able to access your account using your current Youbet.com user name and password. Your Youbet.com account balance will be immediately available in your TwinSpires.com account. Also, as part of the transition your Youbet Advantage account balance will be converted to an equal value of Twin Spires Club reward points.
TwinSpires.com offers many of the same deposit and withdrawal options as Youbet.com including direct transfers to and from your bank account. If you used this ACH feature with Youbet.com then your banking information will be transferred over for you to make EZmoney (ACH) deposits and withdrawals with TwinSpires.com. We also offer deposits via Green Dot MoneyPak, credit cards, check, money order, wire transfer and in person at Churchill Downs Incorporated tracks and OTBs.
In order to help make your transition to TwinSpires.com as smooth as possible, we have introduced several popular Youbet.com features on TwinSpires.com.
TwinSpires Express
Youbet Program Layout
Both the basic and advanced program layouts from Youbet.com are available with the new TwinSpires Express product. With TwinSpires Express you will find a familiar program layout, multiple video options, including two live video streams, and TwinSpiresTV. From TwinSpires Express you will be able to launch a familiar basic wager pad and a feature very similar to WagerPadPro called TwinSpiresPro.
TwinSpiresPro
WagerPadPro / TwinSpiresPro
If you enjoyed using the lightning-fast WagerPadPro then you will find a very comparable product in TwinSpiresPro. Delivering the fastest online betting process available, TwinSpiresPro allows you to build wagers quickly and efficiently. Avoid time-consuming repetitive drop down lists by using our single-pane betting layout. You can even turn off wager confirmation for a faster experience and use the “copy bet” functionality to save time when you are building multiple exotic wagers.
The great features above are just the start of the products from Youbet.com that will be available on TwinSpires.com. We are constantly striving to improve your online wagering experience and we want your feedback about how to improve our services.
