A method and device are provided that allow a wagering consumer to place wagers on pari-mutuel events without being at the originating facility or at another licensed pari-mutuel betting facility. A betting kiosk is placed in a location open to the public with a high speed communication link to the betting kiosk. Instructions for setting up and maintaining an advance deposit wagering account are provided at the wagering consumer's kiosk. A wagering consumer deposits funds into the advance deposit wagering account and then places bets and has his account credited or debited depending on the success of the bets placed. The betting kiosk sends the wagering consumer's information securely to an advance deposit wagering company, and receives information from the advance wagering company regarding authorization to make a bet. The betting kiosk has video and audio display capability and receives video and audio feeds from facilities allowing wagering consumers to see and hear the pari-mutuel event upon which the bet was placed. A video and audio archive is also available to allow wagering consumers to review prior pari-mutuel events before placing their bets.
