General Horse Racing Betting Rules
When betting at the BetUS online racebook, all wagers follow industry-standard horse racing rules. Once a bet is placed and confirmed, it cannot be changed or canceled. Bets placed after the official post time are considered No Action. All wagers are booked by saddlecloth/gate number, not horse name. In the event of a mismatch, the number prevails. Key rules for horse racing betting include:
- Wager Limits: Bets above posted limits will only be honored up to the maximum.
- Scratched Horses: Win/Place/Show bets on scratched horses are refunded. Exotics follow track rules (refunds or substitutions with the track favorite).
- Entries: Betting on an entry includes all coupled horses. As long as one runs, the wager has action.
- Matchups: Both horses must start. Your selection only needs to finish ahead of the other horse, not win. Dead-heat rules apply.
- Futures & Props: All Triple Crown, Breeders’ Cup, and international horse racing futures are action, regardless of whether your horse runs.
BetUS enforces strict anti-pool manipulation policies. Accounts attempting to hedge pools negatively or exploit track odds may be suspended.
Payouts, Maximums, and Track Categories
- BetUS applies payout limits by track category to maintain fairness and integrity across all horse racing online betting markets.
- Maximum daily winnings: $50,000 per customer.
- Fixed odds wagering: Capped at $15,000 per U.S. race and $2,000 per international race.
Track Categories:
Exotic wagers (Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta, Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 6) are graded according to host track payouts. Refunds or substitutions apply when scratched horses affect multi-race wagers.
This system ensures that BetUS delivers a safe, transparent, and exciting horse racing betting experience online.
