![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() SuperTAB (later S-TAB) for Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, and Western Australia (and previously Tasmania before its acquisition by Tatts Group).Current betting provision Īlthough the state TABs are now all owned by Tabcorp except in Western Australia, due to legislative and other reasons three separate totalisator pools continue to exist in Australia, running mostly along historic operator lines: The Western Australia TAB was established in 1961 and is still state run, currently through state racing regulator Racing and Wagering Western Australia. UBET outlets were rebranded back to "TAB" in 2019, using the then-current Tabcorp style branding, in the wake of the merger of Tatts Group with Tabcorp. TABs in Queensland, South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania were re-branded as UBET in 2015, as part of a rebranding of the UniTAB division of Tatts Group - replacing both the TAB brand at retail outlets, and a TattsBet brand introduced online. Tabcorp and Tab Limited later merged in 2004, followed by UniTAB merging with lotteries operator Tattersall's (to become Tatts Group) in 2006. Originally having been run as state government agencies, most Australian TABs have been progressively privatised, beginning with Victoria in 1994 (becoming Tabcorp), and following with New South Wales in 1998 (becoming Tab Limited) and Queensland in 1999 (becoming TAB Queensland Limited, later UniTAB Limited when it merged with the South Australian TAB). RWWA’s pari-mutuel and fixed odds offering is now one of the best in Australia, complemented by its new age ‘Phoenix’ betting system, ‘TABozbet’ online and ‘Tabtouch’ / ‘Playeronline’ mobile platforms and retail wagering infrastructure” Burt said.Australia History and development This cements our position as a significant long term player in Australia’s premier betting pool. The benefits of the new pooling agreement will also apply to all WA (TAB) race clubs. Customers will have access to stable competitive dividends and consistency in the display on SKY Channel. RWWA is focused on improving its customer service and offering bigger pools is a key part of this commitment. ![]() With the new agreement we can deliver on this. In announcing the new pooling agreement RWWA CEO Richard Burt said “our customers have been keen to see combined pools for some time. With almost all WA’s pari-mutuel turnover combined with SuperTAB, Western Australian TAB customers will benefit significantly from the biggest pools in the country. As and when Tabcorp enters into further international arrangements, RWWA will also have the option of applying to participate thereby providing its customers with the biggest international betting pools. Under the new agreement, RWWA also has the option to apply to participate in international combined pools hosted by foreign wagering operators such as Singapore and South Africa, rather than operating WA only pools. In line with the new pooling arrangement, Quartet will be rebranded ‘First 4’, consistent with the SuperTAB naming convention. Quartet will combine with Super TAB in late August, whilst Doubles, Exacta and Quinella will follow in September. RWWA has successfully combined betting pools on Win, Place, Trifecta and Quaddie with Super TAB since 1992. The increased pool size will provide up to ten times the current level of investments, particularly on Eastern States thoroughbreds, harness and greyhounds. The new agreement provides access to the Super TAB betting pools hosted by Tabcorp in Victoria.
