Yonkers Raceway to offer "Big Triple" of bonuses to players who wager through Empire City Bets

• January 18, 2025

Players who wager through the Empire City Bets platform will be privy to some great bonuses courtesy of Yonkers Raceway and the SOA of NY.

With the 2025 racing meet scheduled to begin on Monday, January 20th, Yonkers Raceway (which already offers the highest overnight purses in the industry) will be offering an outstanding “BIG TRIPLE” of bonuses to PLAYERS that wager through the Empire City Bets platform! 

 

In an attempt to shine the spotlight on the terrific racing at Yonkers, the following incentives will be made available:

 

1) Courtesy of the SOA of New York, new account holders that wager a minimum of $100 on Yonkers races between 1/20/2025 and 1/31/2025 (excluding place and show wagers) will be eligible for matching bonus funds, with a maximum of $100 being deposited into their accounts (which then must be wagered on Yonkers races before any withdrawals can be made). This is in addition to the $100 bonus currently in effect. 

 

2) Empire City Bets remains THE place to wager on Yonkers races, with a lucrative 8% reward being offered on all wagers (excluding place and show) made on Yonkers races – and rewards of anywhere from 1-5% on over 100 other racetracks.

 

3) An incredible and exciting new bonus (again courtesy of the SOA of NY) will add an ADDITIONAL 10% on ALL winning bets (minus the base wager), on all Yonkers wagers (except for place and show). In other words, if you place a $2 wager through Empire City Bets and hit a Yonkers trifecta that pays $1500, you would be credited with an additional $149.80 in your account ($1500 – $2 = $1498 X 10% = $149.80 bonus)! Combine this with the lucrative 8% rebate, and it’s a deal that simply can’t be beat!

 

Full details (and rules) will be available shortly at www.empirecitybets.com.
