We provide legal telephone and online betting services from our facility in Oregon. Since we began in 2007, we have safely and securely handled over $250 million in wagers through our online platform. In 2011 we added phone wagering to our member services, along with expanded hours of customer service. In late 2012 we debuted a completely re-designed interface that has been well received by our loyal customer base. Unlike the non-pari-mutuel off-shore bookmakers, we pay the tracks for the right to accept simulcast wagers on their races and co-mingle those wagers with the on-track pari-mutuel pools. Unlike the off-shore ADWs, a portion of all monies wagered through Premier Turf Club go to the horsemen and the local racetracks. It's these payments that allow horsemen to run meets at Portland Meadows, country fairs and various racetracks throughout the United States. The partners in Premier Turf Club are bettors first and foremost. We include owners and breeders, trainers, high-tech handicappers, professional speed figure makers and racing software developers. We opened this ADW because this is our passion, and we felt that there wasn't one online wagering site that truly met the needs of horseplayers like us. We have developed a business model that benefits the players, the horsemen and the race tracks, while offering an extensive racing menu where you can wager on over 100 Thoroughbred, harness and greyhound race tracks. Premier Turf Club never charges a wagering fee and offers the best in cash-back rewards, regardless of your wagering level.
