Title: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: Molesap on May 25, 2017, 10:02:56 AM
Just got the announcement in my inbox and it looks great. How does it work with those already having NYRA accounts? When I went to the link it was not obvious. Thanks.

Any idea when you may have approval in Iowa? We have many ADW\'s already allowing sign up but would love to take advantage of this generous offer.

TG Jeff,  Will there be free TG ball caps sent to the VIP customers?

is this available in california?
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: TGJB on May 25, 2017, 06:23:45 PM
Yes in California. Jeff will have to answer about Iowa.

Dennis, you can either have rebates or your 50th cap. Your choice.
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: TG Jeff on May 26, 2017, 04:39:07 AM
Yes in Iowa, and as Jerry posted, Yes in California.
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: TG Jeff on May 26, 2017, 04:41:05 AM
Yes in California, for sure. Great response from our Californians already.

How about Jersey?

Sadly, no Jersey at this time.

Where is a list of the states where it is available?
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: jerry on May 26, 2017, 09:39:28 AM
Do you accept wagers from South Carolina?
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: TG Jeff on May 26, 2017, 09:58:32 AM
Jim,

The most accurate approach is to go to the (blue button) SIGN UP form and then enter any state that you wish. If a state is not currently accepted, it will tell you immediately (for example, Hawaii, Georgia, etc.) with a red error message. Otherwise, you are good to go.

This list of accepted states (over 30) is expanding pretty frequently, so we encourage players to check back if your home state is currently not on the list.

Thanks,

TG Jeff

Jerry,

Sorry SC residents are not accepted at this time. Please check back, as the list of \'green\' states is expanding frequently.

Thanks,

TG Jeff

I never saw an email.

Do you need link to the site for the perks??
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: TGJB on May 26, 2017, 10:40:33 AM
We split the emails into two bunches, second is going out now.

You have to sign up to get the perks. Some people have been signing up directly with NYRA, that won\'t do it.
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: TG Jeff on May 26, 2017, 12:06:36 PM
P-Dub,

Easiest thing to do is to go to thorograph.com, log on, and then click on the TGPS banner in the center of the page. You can then sign up via the blue SIGN UP button in the upper right of the page. Your TG account and NYRA Bets accounts are linked when you sign up in this manner, and you\'ll automatically get all of your benefits.

Per NYRA this offer is only good for NEW account sign-ups. Now I get being excluded from any \"New\" account offers, but it would be nice to be able to participate in any earned benefits. Is that in the works?
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: wrongway on May 26, 2017, 01:34:07 PM
Already have NYRABETS acct--tried what you said & NYRA wouldn\'t allow sign up due to duplicate SocSec #.
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: TGJB on May 26, 2017, 01:44:52 PM
They should be. Working on this.
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)

Takes a minute to get used to the look and feel, but after you know where to find stuff I like it.
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: TG Jeff on May 26, 2017, 06:32:43 PM
Thanks P Dub.
There are a number of significant changes already in the works pertaining to ROI and wagering reporting, and some bet building enhancements.

Appreciate the input.

I got the same message when I tried to sign up. Called the VIP Direct Line that TG Jeff posted and spoke with a fellow named Andrew who resolved the issue immediately and set me right up with TGPS.

If anyone else is having this problem, don\'t let it dissuade you from signing up - great group of guys over there and very helpful.

So, the test to see whether I\'ve done this correctly -- I signed in through a tab I clicked on while on Thorograph -- is to see whether I get a $25 TG credit after my first $25 wager?

Post by: TG Jeff on June 05, 2017, 06:29:59 PM
All,

We\'ve uncovered a few issues with NYRA Bets Key Account Desk not getting emails correctly, which had to do with some outages they they experienced at Belmont. Please give it another try; they really are doing their best to respond quickly and work creatively to find solutions for sign up, funding, rebate, and concierge questions.

Apologize for some of the deflected emails, we believe that they\'ll all get through now. For the record, I am cc\'d on all incoming emails sent to the KAD, and I\'ll be working with them to ensure that all of our guys are given the personalized attention they has been promised.

Again, their contact info:

Deadrock,

That won\'t be necessary. If you care to email me with your name or log in, I can see if you\'ve been correctly flagged as a TGPS player.

Please send to my TG email: jeff@thorograph.com. If for some reason there was an issue, we\'ll get it resolved for you tomorrow.

Thanks,

TG Jeff

Has anyone had their existing NYRA account flagged as a TGPS account? I have been informed by the KAD that this is not possible.
Title: Re: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS)
Post by: TG Jeff on June 07, 2017, 11:05:18 AM
Hi Niall,

There have been a great number of accounts that have been flagged as TGPS account after the players contacted the NYRA Bets Key Account Desk, and there are plans to broaden the program quickly as we work with NYB to develop more player-centric benefits. What\'s been rolled out so far is simply the first step.

I\'ve reached out to you via personal email to hear more about your specific situation, but would encourage anyone else with questions to contact the Key Account Desk as follows:

Title: Thoro-Graph Player Services (TGPS) = Excellent Customer Service
Post by: Niall on June 07, 2017, 01:21:19 PM
Dear TG posters and lurkers ...

When something isnt right it sure is easy to be critical and its hard to defend NYRA as they have made themselves an easy target. While my attempt to get my existing NYRABETS account converted to a TGPS account was unsuccessful, I truly believe that the consideration I have been shown by Thorograph and The NYRA Key Accounts team provides much hope that the horseplayer is finally being looked after. If you dont wager through NYRA, I would strongly consider doing so using the TG link. Posting in this manner is not usually my style, but sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due. I might as well add that wherever you wager, download and checkout the NYRA Now app, especially if you use streaming media (Roku). Its worth it!

Finally, 4-1 on Epicharis? That alone will attract $$ and hopefully offset the scratch of Classic Empire. Enjoy the races and good luck to all.

Just signed up. Had an existing account - as Mathcapper said they were very
helpful.

Took less than 5 minutes.
