Deposits, Withdrawals, and Wagering
Deposits to your Account may be made by some or all of the following methods: credit card, debit card, check, electronic check, money order, cashiers check, wire transfer, cash or through third party e-wallet providers offered at BetAmerica.
Electronic checks may be used to make deposits to your Account ("ACH Deposits"), which are electronically debited from your authorized bank account. ACH Deposits are generally credited immediately upon authorization from our ACH processor. For your first ACH Deposits, however, we may only immediately credit a portion of your deposits to your Account, with the balance of your deposits credited to your Account when funds are received from your bank. After all funds from your initial ACH Deposit are received, the ACH deposit limits applicable to you will be displayed on the deposit page. Please contact Customer Service if you would like to increase the amount that you may deposit in any period. Please note that additional restrictions and regulations may apply for certain jurisdictions. BetAmerica reserves the right to enforce additional restrictions and limitations at its sole discretion at any time.
In the event we are unable to collect funds from your bank for an ACH Deposit, we may re-submit any and all such failed deposits for reprocessing by your bank, subject only to applicable regulations and policies. In addition, your account may be charged a $25.00 returned item service charge, provided that we will not impose such fee in connection with a return of any re-submittal of an ACH Deposit.
BetAmerica accepts personal checks by mail. All personal checks are typically subject to a hold period to enable check clearance (generally 1-5 business days hold). In the event of a return of any check used to fund your Account, your account may be charged a $25.00 returned item service charge.
BetAmerica accepts money orders and cashiers checks by mail. All money orders and cashiers check are given immediate credit after confirmation of validity.
Wire transfers must be drawn on an account for which the Account Holder is an owner. All wire transfers are funded immediately upon receipt of confirmation. Account Holders may be held liable for any transfer fees imposed by the transmitting or receiving entity and the charges shall be deducted from the Account Holders Account.
In order to fund your account through third-party e-wallet providers, the rules and charges of such providers will apply. In addition, such deposits may be subject to a hold period.
In the event any deposit to your Account is returned, refused or reversed, we will deduct the deposited amount from your Account and suspend your Account. BetAmerica reserves the right to impose such conditions and restrictions as it may determine in its sole discretion prior to re-opening your Account.
Withdrawals
All withdrawal requests must be made by using this web site. Withdrawals can be made by electronic transfer to the Account Holder's U.S. bank account. All such withdrawal requests are processed within one business day of request and should be received in the Account Holder's U.S. bank account within an additional 3-5 business days (provided your funds have cleared - see below). For Account Holders without a U.S. bank account, or, upon request, withdrawal requests will be made by check, drafted in the Account Holders legal name, and sent to the Account Holders residence address on file. Withdrawals processed by check will be mailed within three business days of the request, and will be sent by first class regular mail. For a fee of $30, upon request, delivery of checks to continental U.S. addresses will be expedited and sent within one business day (provided request is made Mon-Fri, prior to mail cutoff) for next business day delivery using a national overnight delivery service.
Typically, no withdrawals will be processed unless all deposited funds have cleared and verified by our financial institution. This normally takes 4-5 business days after a deposit is made. However, when you have a sufficient history with us of collected deposits, at our discretion, your withdrawal request will be processed on the next business day, and you should expect to see funds in your account within 3-5 business days after the withdrawal request is processed.
Please note: The 3-5 day delay for withdrawals is dependent upon bank transfer times. Each bank is different, and therefore the transfer time will vary from bank to bank.
Wagering on Racing
Account Holders may place wagers on racing with BetAmerica through the internet, or via mobile device. Account Holders may only wager up to the balance of their Accounts. All approved wagers are withdrawn from the Account Holder's Account prior to submission of wager. Credits for winning wagers are deposited into the Account Holder's Account after official results have been posted by the respective track. BetAmerica reserves the right to reject any wager for any reason in its sole discretion. All wagers on racing placed by Account Holders that are residents of a state (1) from where advance deposit wagering on racing is not permitted, or (2) which requires that BetAmerica restrict the acceptance of wagers on tracks from such state and the wager is placed on such track, is not allowed. For a current listing of state-by-state restrictions, please contact Customer Service.
All ineffective wager requests due to tote error, track error, communications complications, and merge failure, or any other technical difficulties shall be cancelled, and the wagering amount refunded to the Account Holders Account. BetAmerica reserves the right to cancel any wager and refund the wager amount to the Account Holder Account.
Tax Reportings and Withholdings
In accordance with IRS laws, any wager resulting in winnings of $600.00 or more must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service, if the amount of winnings is at least 300 times the amount wagered. In addition any wager resulting in winnings over $5,000.00, is subject to reporting and withholding if the amount of winnings is at least 300 times the amount wagered. All winnings subject to reporting and/or withholding shall be reported and/or withheld by BetAmerica and a copy of the W2-G Form summarizing the information shall be sent to the Account Holder for tax purposes.

Account holders shall pay for past performances and other handicapping products, per track, per day, in accordance with listed rates. Account Holders incurring charges for purchasing handicapping products will be deducted from the Account Holders Wagering Account.
All deposits are guaranteed by the Account Holder to be collectable. In the event BetAmerica is not able to recover payment from you for any deposits to your Wagering Account, we may impose penalties for dishonored payments and negative accounts. In the event we commence collection efforts, the Account Holder will also pay upon demand for all attorney and collection fees incurred by BetAmerica in attempting to collect uncollected deposits and/or to recover negative account balances. Delinquent accounts may be suspended or canceled at BetAmerica's sole discretion, and will continue to incur fees and penalties until such account is terminated by you or by BetAmerica in accordance with this Agreement. If your account incurs charges, which are declined by your credit card company or financial institution, you authorize BetAmerica to re-bill you for those charges, regardless of your account status or purchase date.
If you believe that BetAmerica has billed you in error, you must contact Player Services within 60 days of the date the charge posted to your account. Refunds or adjustments will not be given for any charges that are more than 60 days old.
If you do not use your account for pari-mutuel wagering or entering fantasy games contests for a period of three hundred and sixty six (366) consecutive days, then it will be deemed a Dormant Account. All Dormant Accounts will incur a Monthly Account Maintenance Fee (“MAMF”). The MAMF will be charged upon becoming a Dormant Account and for each month thereafter so long as it remains a Dormant Account. The MAMF is Five Percent (5%) of the account balance or a charge of USD $5.00, whichever is the greater. If your account balance is less than the MAMF to be deducted, the charge will not exceed the available balance in your account. If and when your account balance is zero, the account will no longer be charged a MAMF.
