All NYRA Bets offers and terms: NYRA Bets NJ bonus code page.
New Jersey customers who sign up can earn up to $200 in new-member bonuses, structured as a deposit match.
A deposit match adds bonus funds in proportion to what you deposit, up to the cap, and usually has to be wagered before it becomes cash. On a $200 match that requires a single pass through the pools, pari-mutuel takeout of roughly 15% to 25% would leave you with about $150 to $170 of expected value. Higher rollover would cut that.
The practical difference from 4NJBets: NYRA Bets rewards your deposit, while 4NJBets refunds your first losing bet. If you plan to bet regularly, a match pays off whether or not your first bet wins.
Claiming steps are on our NYRA Bets promo code page.
Tracks and bet types
You can bet races from tracks across the country, with full coverage of every NYRA race at Saratoga, Belmont and Aqueduct. In New Jersey, that includes Monmouth Park, where NYRA Bets sponsors the Grade I, $1 million Haskell Stakes. The 2026 Haskell went to Baby Vino at 28-1.
Bets are pari-mutuel: win, place, show, exotics and multi-race wagers. Payouts come from the pools. For fixed-odds betting, use MonmouthBets.
App and streaming
The NYRA Bets app is built around a wager pad with a customizable race menu. Handicapping tools include analysis for all NYRA races, horse-by-horse replays and stats, and multiple video feeds, including live views of the paddock. Sign-up is instant.

NYRA Bets safety and support
NYRA Bets launched in New Jersey after approval from the Attorney General and the New Jersey Racing Commission. It’s also the state’s managing vendor for online and mobile pari-mutuel wagering, under an agreement with Darby Development, which runs Monmouth Park, and the NJ Sports and Exposition Authority. Any new racing app needs approval from NYRA Bets, Darby and the Commission.
Wagers are processed by United Tote, which set up a hub in Cherry Hill. To self-exclude from New Jersey horse racing, apply in person at a Racing Commission office. For help, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER.
How NYRA Bets compares
4NJBets has the longer NJ history, a highly rated app and TVG’s broad video, but charges fees on card deposits. NYRA Bets is fee-free and stronger on New York racing. Both bet into the same pari-mutuel pools, so the choice comes down to tools, fees and promotions.
