You go to a teller and buy a "day account", and you're given a slip of paper with an account number and PIN. Use that to log into the app (or in most cases, a mobile site with no download needed) and bet throughout the day. When finished, you either take that slip of paper to a teller to cash it out, or put it into a self-serve where it's automatically turned into a voucher.
Tracks generally don't market it much because it does peanuts in handle (even on big days), but it is available. Current patrons simply don't want to use it for whatever reason, but maybe that will change with an influx of younger bettors.

Its unpopular because they don't advertise it. And I'm telling you Sports Betting is going to be huge for Horse Racing. Trust me. Its going to inject a new audience that is badly needed into the sport.
