All Activity

Brilliant - they inflate dividends and help fund racing at the same time! By the way you have to authenticate your account to get the bonus cash so I think you might be a bit confused. Depends what you define as "ACTIVE". I know people who are seasonal with their wagering. They don't bet late autumn through to early spring. Be through Spring until about now end of November. Stop -t hen start again late Summer through to mid autumn. That aside I would consider an acount active that bet during the OZ and NZ spring carnivals but not at any other time.

I know of 5 friends and family members that used the deposit and sign up cash…. but wont go to TAB to get authentication sorted as all lost on Mel Cup,

Oooops, here they are

Yeah, i know of a few😙 Attached below are screenshots of some of the promos i got Cup Week from Betcha, other mates received too… had a few more deposit deals too Oct & Nov, didnt get text or email with some, just appeared in acc, example deposit $200 get $200 Bonus Bets… makes sense with timing now, Entain would be trying to get as many non gambling account holders to punt, and getting us much cash out of us all….then publish these numbers😂. None of us have had any offers since Cup week

It was mentioned in an article where ENTAIN said there were so many thousand new accounts from people who hadn't bet before.

There was one about two or three weeks ago. Not sure if it was Cup week. From memory it was a bonus type cash promotion but they float around in one form or another all the time. Interesting that the oncourse % to Clubs is 25% higher if through a digital device. Does that mean betting on you phone oncourse or using one of the pods that they put on course now?

@Huey believes there is a relatively small group of owners, trainers and breeders that control every aspect of NZ Thoroughbred Racing. He has at various times labelled them the Old Boys Club, the Mafia and the Cartel amongst other things even though the labels he uses are not that interchangeable. Basically anything wrong in Racing is the Cartel/OBC/Mafia's fault and if you don't have have any success it is because they are stopping you from doing so. Quite frankly it is conspiratorial BS.

Did they? We don't have customer number data for November yet do we?

Well you don't need to be a Chartered Accountant to read and interpret a set of accounts.

I know many people who open accounts on Melbourne cup day…they deposit and get the free bonus cash…. spend on Cup, maybe with family members or syndicates, do their cash but dont bother to authenticate account, so closes. Also, ACTIVE accounts is a joke. Talked to many people cup week, most got huge giveaways or free bets in accounts, some never used for months, surprise, surprise the heavens opened in Nov….😆

Yeh sure you are a self-appointed expert on everything

I don't bet retail but I think from what Vouris said, they are offered only on the retail pods when you use them. Has anyone who does bet retail seen them?

It's a critical KPI. We know that you can't significantly increase punter spend from existing customers, and the advertising spend as you say, along with the new platform, improved product etc. has to work, especially since to date, the online monopoly doesn't appear to have had much impact.

sigh, numbers and then the reality behind them... Here in Dunedin , via ODT, there must have been 30/50 full page advs. asking people to open accounts, etc. I presume some of the update was via that sort of thing! It would be interesting actual #'s that the 'new' accounts bet?

please share on this...

The ones Vouris talks about at around the seven minute mark that Guerin pretends he doesn’t know about.

You've clearly never ever been anywhere near a racing club committee.

What do you call a "retail promotion"?

How do we find out what retail promotions are on? I haven’t seen any since Cox Plate day.

A grateful Keagan De Melo will wave goodbye to Hong Kong racing on Sunday and is hoping to end his stint on a high when he rides Shanwah and Baby Crystal at Sha Tin. The South African will have his final rides in the city at the behind-closed-doors fixture and he is hoping to add to his tally of 33 winners gained over the last two seasons. Although it has been a tough end to his stint, with the 32-year-old yet to get off the mark this campaign, he looks back fondly on a year that saw him secure...View the full article

what a silly reply. Misinformation.Having an opinion is misinformation to you and enough for you to say i'm anti greyhound racing.Just a silly reply. You clearly haven't bothered to read what former chief vet for grnsw,alex brittan,said about the greyhound industry during his time in their employment. he alledged many things,including greyhound nsw welfare and integrity commission(gwic) was deliberately obfuscating and under reporting the facts. Have you even read the very detailed 54 page submisiion he made to the the drake commion hearing,a hearing which in effect was investigating itself.I have. you gave figures in an earlier post. brittan explained many things,including how figures were being manipulated. i suggest you go read his 54 page letter or have a read of the evidence related to that from the months long public hearing. You may have no interest in how the commisioners report addresses his concerns,but those who aren't blinkered,would like to know whats in that report. your blinkered approach has contributed to the demise of your industry. And still you practice it and you wonder why your being shut down.It needn't have been that way,but in your mind you can blame the anti greyhound racing people or winston peters. It wasn't them that gave them the ammunition to fire. Also you must be aware some of the issues which he says are major contibutors to greyhound injuries are still applicable in nz greyhound racing.

Well there is a story in their accounts too.

LOL!!! Are you saying the published financial statements are false?
