ACCOUNT PROCEDURES: WAGERING, DEPOSITS, WITHDRAWALS
WAGERING
Go to www.WatchandWager.com and sign in using your unique username and password. WatchandWager.com Players may also use the following phone number to place wagers, check on account status or access customer services at anytime between 9:00am to 12:00am Eastern.
WatchandWager.com employs strict privacy and protection methods in order to ensure the highest level of wagering security and integrity. WatchandWager.com accounts may only be accessed by the registered account holder using their unique, valid login information (username, password, etc.)
The maximum wagering amount allowed is $2,500 (US) per transaction. The maximum show wager amount is $5,000 (US). The wagering amounts are also dependent on the host racetrack and WatchandWager.com rules. All wagers are commingled with wagering pools at the host racetrack and will be subject to host racetrack restrictions. In the case of multiple wagers such as a daily double or an exacta box, the base wager is multiplied by the number of combinations to determine the amount of the total wager. Wagers will only be accepted that do not exceed the current balance of players' respective wagering account. All approved wagers will be withdrawn from the account holder's wagering account prior to submission of the wager. Winning wagers will be credited to the account holder's WatchandWager.com account upon posting of official results by the respective host racetrack.
WatchandWager.com reserves the right to refuse any wagering transaction for any reason. Any and all wagers placed from non-wagering jurisdictions will not be accepted.
Under certain circumstances WatchandWager.com may operate separate wagering pools from the host racetrack. Separate pools will be subject to rules and regulations of the Oregon Racing Commission.
Once a wager is submitted, confirmed and accepted, refunds and/or cancellations are NOT permitted. Once confirmed by the WatchandWager.com wagering system, ALL WAGERS ARE FINAL. If for some reason we are unable to commingle your wager with the host racetrack wagering pool, your wager will be refunded to your account.
Requested wagers that are unsuccessful, ineffective or non-permissible for any reason (including any and all track errors, tote malfunction, communications failures, etc.) will be canceled and the full wagered amount will be refunded to your account.
