And there are ways to get around the "provisions". Sure you can't use a credit card or Paypal, but Western Union is an option.

Completely understand your point and cant blame you for maximizing your dollar; there will always be ways around the rules. Tracks should try and make an effort to offer rebates and rewards for regular players (I think NYRA has started to or is in the process of doing), but its not a good trend when the offshore companies are making plenty of money off of a product and then not putting any back into it. Thats a cycle that will eventually lead to a diminished product long after me.
