What is Premier Turf Club?
Premier Turf Club (PTC) is a fully licensed and regulated off-track wagering facility located in Fargo, North Dakota. PTC is not a bookmaking operation. All wagers placed by our customers are automatically transmitted into the actual track pools through the Amtote hub in Portland, Oregon.

PTC has contractual relationships with all tracks at which wagers are accepted. Placing a wager with PTC is the same as placing that wager at the track. PTC will accept most wagers that the host track offers on each race and pay full track odds on every winning wager. PTC provides a real-time wagering environment. Account balances are updated as race results become official.

How can I sign up for an account?
You can sign up for an account by completing the on-line application form. Once you have submitted the completed application, and your personal information has been verified, you will be contacted by an employee of Premier Turf Club who will explain the service in detail.

Connecticut customers may not wager though our internet platform. Some otherwise eligible residents will be excluded from playing certain tracks.

Will my winnings be reported to the IRS? Will there be withholdings on certain winning tickets?
In accordance with IRS laws, any wager resulting in winnings of $600.00 or more must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service, if the amount of winnings is at least 300 times the amount wagered. In addition any wager resulting in winnings over $5,000.00, is subject to reporting and withholding if the amount of winnings is at least 300 times the amount wagered. All winnings subject to reporting and/or withholding shall be reported and/or withheld by PTC and a copy of the W2-G Form summarizing the information shall be sent to the account holder for tax purposes.

How can I find out specific information about customer cash rewards?
Cash reward schedules will be based upon your average monthly wagering volume. You will be assigned a rewards schedule upon PTC's acceptance of your account application. The customer service representative that contacts you upon acceptance will communicate that information to you directly.

When will my rewards be credited?
Rewards are credited automatically at the end of each business day (or very early the next morning). You can expect to see your credited rewards by 10 AM (Eastern) on the next day. While wagering balances are updated in real-time, rewards are not.

How can I keep track of my play and my rewards?
The technology team at PTC has created a state-of-the art player tracking system that allows customers to generate reports about their play and rewards. The reports can be stratified by day, track, pool, and race for any period of time. The wagering report is available for viewing on-screen or in pdf format report. We expect to have exporting capabilities for this information as well in the near future.
