Pros

The Harrington Raceway online casino is a legal and licensed gambling site in the state of Delaware. This is a preferable option to offshore casinos which offer no regulations for getting paid or making sure that each customer has a fair shot at winning. If there is an issue at Harrington Raceway, a customer can file a complaint to a United State regulatory body. Harrington Raceway also has an excellent mobile app. The app provides a much better gaming experience than the website. It is easy to navigate and provides great graphics. In fact, the graphics for the games on the website and the app are far superior to the overall layout of the site (see below in the “Cons” section).

Cons

One of the biggest cons with the Harrington Raceway online casino is the layout of its website. Aside from the actual gameplay, the graphics are outdated and the navigation is difficult to figure out. The site can sometimes have issues with lagging and does not appear to be upkept very well. A reason for this could be that the state of Delaware receives a large portion of the profits for all online gaming, so casinos don’t have as much incentive to push their online sites as they do their actual casinos.

The game selection for Harrington Raceway is very limited. The site has just 46 slots available and two table games, blackjack and American roulette. The mobile app has even fewer options with only 16 slots available but does still provide the table games. Another con on the Harrington Raceway site is that the webpage is not encrypted. Harrington Raceway is a reputable gaming provider and does not raise concerns in how they handle customer’s funds, but a non-encrypted site can be a concern for some players.

Poker

The online poker tables at Harrington Raceway Casino have a player sharing agreement with New Jersey and Nevada. They also share players with Delaware Downs and Delaware Park. This creates a larger traffic base for online games. However, it can still be difficult to find active games during off peak hours. If a player wants to play a game other than No Limit Holdem or Pot Limit Omaha, it can be difficult to find an open match at all. There is an average of a few hundred players online during the peak hours of game time. Much like the online casino, the poker site has poor design and functionality. This has been a major user complaint since the site launched in 2013. Harrington Raceway’s poker software is available only to PC users. It has no compatibility with Mac or mobile users.

How To Deposit

Before depositing, players can earn a $10 registration bonus just for signing up. The player is given 14 days to use the money before it disappears from the account. Harrington Raceway is unclear about when a player can withdraw the money won from games played with this deposit bonus. On one part of the site, it states that 2 status points must be earned per $1 in bonus money before withdrawal, but another part of the site states that 2.5 status points must be earned per $1 in bonus money. Furthermore, the website does not clearly state how to earn a bonus point. On the Dover Downs and Delaware Park sites, 1 status point is awarded per $16 wagered.

First time depositors to the casino can receive a 100% deposit bonus up to $100. This means that a $100 deposit will receive an extra $100 bonus. This bonus is not available for withdrawal until a player reaches a certain number of status points on the site. A status point is earned for every $16 wagered, and it takes 2.5 status points to clear $1 in bonus money. So, it would take wagering 40x the original deposit amount to receive the full bonus. For example, a player would need to wager $4,000 to receive their full $100 deposit bonus. This is not a good bonus and should not sway players one way or another on this site.

First time depositors to the poker site can receive a 100% deposit bonus up to $500. Much like the casino, this bonus will be released in increments the more a player is on the site. The first $20 of the bonus is released in $5 increments for every 40 status points earned. The rest of the bonus will be released in $10 increments for every 80 status points earned. Two status points are earned for every $1 contributed in rake or tournament fees.

All deposits can be made through Visa or Mastercard, a Neteller, or ACH Bank Transfer. Neteller is an e-wallet that is similar to PayPal. The minimum deposit amount on all methods is $10. All withdrawals can be made either through Neteller, ACH Bank Transfer, or a mailed check.

Conclusion

Overall, from software and graphics to game variety, the Harrington Raceway casino online could be a lot better. However, it is one of just three online options in the state of Delaware. So for accessibility and ease of access, it is a serviceable website for anyone looking to play slots or table games.
