• "This is an awesome App, it gives you live track feeds and can run through Apple TV to watch races on my large screen TV, simply put, it's the best betting app in the game."
• "The App for iPhone is cool, as a developer we salute TVG's originality, betting solutions and seamless user-friendly experience."
• "The App is awesome. It streams every race you bet on! Plus you can set up direct deposit, you get your winnings in one day and it's totally secure."

The TVG App is free to download on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod devices. Wagering on the app requires a TVG advanced deposit wagering (ADW) account. It is available to customers residing in the 30 states where TVG wagering services are offered. For detailed information visit www.TVG.com.
