15 commentsToday we have seen the only remaining truly independent racing industry publication "hang the bridle on the wall." The Informant has ceased to publish.
Why?
In my opinion the blame lies firmly at the feet of the NZRB. Over the next few days BOAY will be asking some very pertinent questions to those in charge.
For example:
How much is the NZRB funded Best Bets costing the industry? Does it make a profit? What is its circulation? 800? Or more? Does the Best Bets pay for its form feeds? Was The Informant given the same deal?
How much does the industry fund the NZ Racing Desk for its banal follow the corporate line journalism?
Why were the "manager's at the door" when Dennis Ryan was talking to Peter Early?
Where are the NZ TAB turnover figures?
The Informant may be gone for the moment but the industry must continue to ask the hard questions.

Sorry I don't get the Manawatu Standard delivered so can't comment. -

ENTAIN has only been here for just over two years. They inherited a broken retail model with equally broken and aged equipment. They have been steadily upgrading all the equipment. I don't think you can blame for that. No point promoting something that was broken!! Who is bloody stupid? You "laundered the money" so you will be the first contact! -

What does the front page article in the Manawatu Standard today tell you about that club? Should it be sold to prop up the likes of RACE? -
So for the last few years the TAB / Entain have made it as hard as possible to bet at Pubs, TABs, Self Service hubs, then surprisingly they offer promotions to those instore, after refusing the same punters promos for yrs? A mate from Aussie had a $2k collect at Riccarton, went to collect but as he was from Aus didnt have TAB account to withdraw…. So funny thing, he got me to put in my TAB acc details with operator, before she paid him cash…. how bloody stupid, so they know my details but gave mate money with no questions asked… this money laundering shit os working well🫣 -

I doubt they ever dropped them completely even when data storage was significantly more expensive than it is today. I image they also had AML requirements to retain all the details of an account. They may after a certain time flag them inactive. The data is useful as you pointed out for future promotions. Also the data is useful if someone is playing the system. An account can be open but inactive. I remember always keeping a $1 in my account so I could stream the races!!! -
Was only last 4 - 6 weeks they were offered, desperate for figures…
-
I always thought previous TAB accounts dropped off after 12 months non activity…. maybe they dont now, send punters a free bet instead every 6 months, so accounts still stay open, looks better on their balance sheet
-
Yes signing up to Betcha if you already have verified TAB account was easy. But if you dont have Drivers Licence, or if you have never used Realmein… will still need to go to TAB to verify
