The answer to question 2 is yes.  Betting IS monitored. As for 3.  It is no different to Pokies where it is up to individual responsibility to restrict themsleves and there are processes to do that. You really are bitching for the sake of it.  What ENTAIN have in place os light years ahead of the old TAB.

Why not, has taken a sit behind leader recently and still won, doesnt have to lead. 

Goodness me…. you do know i stated that was the case with the safer betting section, but if you click further down to Responsible Gambling, you will be directed to Australian site. I might have to explain my post more simply for you…. 1- You said you can view statement on TAB, thats not a statement its a summary of betting transactions, Aussie operators supply monthly statement of all bets, as well as your win / loss monthly amount, totally different. 2-TAB, anyone ever been contacted about their betting habits?    3- Safer Betting, only options for punters to enforce, its a bloody cop out for Entain at a time they are enticing  younger punters.

I think that's about market rate as I said. Otaki are not compelled to take it. What did Otago Jockey Club pay Cromwell the other day or Winton pay Ascot Park earlier?

...and we all wonder why CD racing is in such a mess.  Levin run their Jumpouts with the minimum of facilities and ongoing maintenance costs.  Otaki on the other hand have considerably more racing infrastructure to maintain and to a higher level.  $10k to hire a fully functional event venue and core horse racing infrastructure up to raceday standard is well below cost. The reality is neither Club makes enough money to maintain either venue to a high standard.

I realise you look for anything you can to moan about but some of your comments are not correct regarding the Safer Betting options available on the TAB App.  Just click on the hamburger button bottom right titled more and you will see on the next menu a position 4 a tab through to a Safer Betting Menu. There you can find a plethora of options to limit your betting - glad you are worried about it just before Christmas and intend to limit your losses.  You can also view you statements.

Otaki have use of their track and facilities 365 days a year to earn revenue. 10k a day for 3 of those days doesn't sound too bad and from what I know is in line with what is commonly paid. Maybe a bit less for industry days. Why you would expect Levin to pass on more of the revenue they earn from those meetings is beyond me. I'm surprised you don't expect them to pay Otaki their oncourse turnover commission as well.
