I have an account with them.. A few points:
1) It is a separate pool, so you will get different odds than at the track
2) The tracks they take vary by day and the list is by no means 'extensive'
3) I will say, however, that I have never once had a problem with getting withdrawals from them..

I agree with Sq764. Never have had a problem. Another plus for a Texan, would be the fact that you could have $1 triactor ticket that pays $30,000 in the Canadian pool and NO TAXES. But I believe I read on their site, or somewhere, that you must have an address in Canada to open an account with them. Possibly a post office box would suffice?
Good luck,
Skanoochies.

I live in Delaware and had no problem opening an account with them. I know many US people who have accounts with them.

This is for US tracks, not WO or FE ( you knew that  ).

Right. There is a PDF file created every month that lists the tracks in play each day during that month.

Agreed, they are very accomodating.

The address issue is strictly for Canadians. It's a provincial turf war (so to speak). Depending on the province you live in, there are seperate pools to bet into.
Also, there are a number of harness tracks available if that turns your crank at all.
