TVG Promo Code & Sportsbook Review

Launching back in 1999, the Beaverton, Oregon-based TVG (Television Games Network) is one of the most well-known and well-respected horse racing gambling sites in the country. While not legal in all 50 states, it is still available in well over half.

Two states in particular—New Jersey and Pennsylvania—have their own dedicated sites, 4NJBets and PABets, respectively. TVG is also owned by the FanDuel Group and bettors have access to over 150 race tracks through TVG for both horse betting and live streaming.

With all of that said, what should you, the bettor, expect from the site?

TVG Sportsbook Mobile App Experience

The TVG app is clean, sleek and easy to use. It’s set up very similarly to the desktop version of the site. Available for both Android and iOS users, the login/register buttons are available at the top of the screen. Below, there is a slideshow of some of the promotional offerings, with an ad for the $300 risk-free bet just below that.

As you go further down the app, there is a section for the races that are close to going live at the time of viewing the app, then the popular races, top pools, top tracks, and talent picks.

At the very bottom of the app, there are a few static buttons. These include Home, Tracks, Bets, Picks and More.

Under More, you will find links to the TVG Picks, Live Streaming, Wager Rewards, Handicapping Store and many other important things associated with TVG.

The Tracks button is an excellent source of all the tracks offered, listed A-Z with race times.

Our Verdict of TVG

TVG, the online betting component of TVG Network, lives up to the hype. Not only is the desktop and mobile version of the site easy to use and navigate, but the software and functionality of both platforms is flawless. Additionally, this site has a plethora of promotional offerings. What really makes TVG shine, however, is the abundance of race tracks to choose from.
