    Don't see how you know from that there was any increase in active accounts.
  2. curious
    Where was that? I only saw where 7000 existing customers had their first bet on racing. Vouris said that in the Guerin interview. Never saw mention of increased new account numbers.
  3. curious
    Did they? We don't have customer number data for November yet do we?
  4. curious
    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.

    Quite likely be the highest rated G1 in Australasia this year.
  7. curious
    Not sure where you get that from.
  8. curious
    Seems pretty clear to me if it's reported accurately' overall active customers in October increasing from 105,600 in 2024 to 117,400 this year.
  9. curious
    No it's not is it? The guidelines are that it a G1 must not be restricted. And I'd say entry depends on whether or not you have a good enough horse, not how much money you have.
  10. curious
    Well if KYR wins it. It's G1 quality for sure. And it's not a restricted race. It's a sweepstake.
  11. curious
    Better POT.
  12. curious
    Way less than that. At the mo, NZTAB is getting 10% of it. Next year, I'll either not bet at all or solely in another jurisdiction again.
  13. curious
    About 80% in recent years. 100% for a decade or more prior to that.
  14. curious
    If it were going to happen, what would delay it?
  15. curious
    Well Entain predicted that amount and Vouris certainly sounded surprised that it hadn't happened quickly. Vouris said the previous ‘grey market’ occupied by overseas operators was worth around $180 million, but that hadn’t just disappeared overnight.
  16. curious
    Why not? Would you not expect if the monopoly were going to recapture revenue lost to overseas operators, that would be evident pretty much immediately?
  17. curious
    I doubt that would happen here. There is no takeout on sports betting here. It's all fixed odds. There is also no tax on it. I think if one were imposed on sports betting and not racing, it would be cried down. More likely to me that sports will claim a fairer share of the revenue that sports betting generates.
  18. curious
    And that's 5 months into the effects of the monopoly legislation? You'd expect that to be generating additional revenue of $10m a month by now wouldn't you?
  19. curious
    What soil? As far as I can see, they tried to build a sand track in a swamp.
  20. curious
    Yes. Programming and handicapping are the two keys to field sizes, aside from track quality. Stakes distribution/allocation may also be a factor. NZTR have shown little interest in addressing any of these in the last two decades.
  21. curious
    I wouldn't give much credence to BS's assessment of that either.
  22. curious
    Well they've certainly laid it on the line now that if NZTR don't pull finger and get tracks and field sizes sorted, we won't make sustainable code payments at current levels at the end of the 5 year deal. That said, Entain don't need the racing codes to have a viable NZ business. As Vouris kept saying, our core business is selling bets. Plenty of other things to sell those on.
  23. curious
    To say nothing of Entain.
  24. curious
    Why? I'd say they are missing quite a few. There are over 4,900 licensed online betting sites worldwide as of 2025. This includes sportsbooks offering sports and racing bets online. When considering both online and offline operators (including retail bookmakers), estimates suggest around 30,000 licensed bookmakers globally.
  25. curious
    Do you think that Entain's desire to pull that lever a bit harder as Vouris described it, might be because margins are higher on racing?
