Stickney, IL – Hawthorne Race Course has introduced a multi-tier benefits package which at its highest level will become the best rebate program at any track in America.

The four-level rebate begins with “Member” status, where any Club Hawthorne member will receive one percent back on all wagers; moves to “Silver Player” when rebates can reach two percent if the player wagers $1,000 during a 30-day period; it then escalates to “Gold Player” distinction, with three percent* rebates attached to all players who wager $5,000 during a 30-day period; and finally the “Platinum Player” maximizes their rebate at four percent* by wagering $15,000 during a 30-day period.

FYI Charlie, you can get a 3% rebate at eHorse right off the bat. And you don't have to be a big bettor. $2 bets qualify. Heck, even $1 win bets probably qualify.

I've been betting with rebates for years. Frankly, I feel like a sucker when I go to the track and bet without rebates. So much so in fact that I'll generally make a big bet at home if I see something I like, then go to the track and hang out with my friends and watch the races.

For me going to the track is strictly a social event. I can't concentrate as well there as I can at home anyway. And without rebates, well...
