Yonkers Raceway has issued a notice regarding EmpireCityBets.com, its new advance deposit wagering (ADW) platform.

While the website (EmpireCityBets.com) is up and fully functional -- complete with deposit match-play offer -- Yonkers Raceway has advised that the wagering rewards program has been put on hold for the time being, pending final approval from the New York State Gaming Commission.

Yonkers Raceway apologizes for any inconvenience and shall send updates as soon as they become available.
