Newmarket

Never said i didnt like CS….just that he is quick to judge and i am sure that stops a few from posting, needs to be less hostile

Hey Hesi, are you not involved with the other racing site now?

Yeah, true…. Funny that the site owner disagrees with the majority of posters on here…. not sure why he does not delete everyone, still post under our names, then comments would agree with everything he says…

At least all the other posters on this thread can see my point…. sadly you are quite ok for all of our kids and grandkids to be bombarded with these offers…. sad, but i see an issue with it

Totally agree…. Entain keep giving them free $1000 bonus bets to keep going

What a crazy question…. you know i love racing, especially harness. But come on, surely you can see enticing kids at 18yrs to constantly gamble with matched deposits is a dangerous thing…. and online Casinos are the worst.

Yes agree… it never happens, Entain know who is betting too much as most bet on accounts. The Safer Betting nonsense is Entain ticking a box. i would like to see more done, especially for younger punters.

Total BS…. I know of many punters at the Casino that have been approached regarding their gambling… even i was approached about 10 yrs ago playing Blackjack at the Christchurch Casino, reason being i arrived there at midnight and was still playing at 7am with a few mates, told me to take a break. Funny thing, since Casino first opened, only been there about 6 times, not been there for about 8 yrs. But nobody gets asked at TAB outlets or betting online, your dreaming. Once again your comments show somebody who has no idea about gambling, apart from your little syndicate on Melbourne Cup day at the retirement village. Would like to know, if anybody has ever been contacted by the TAB either at an outlet or online…. I have been punting 42yrs…. A BIG NO from me.

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.

Well Cup week over for another year, always enjoy catching up with mates not just in Christchurch, but all around NZ as well as some from overseas. Meeting for breakfast before races one day, the subject of Entains Safer Betting, or Responsible Gambling. Many didnt know much about offerings, so a quick look on the TAB App, and we tick on Responsible Gambling….well it directs you to Entain.com.au, so gives info on South Australian and Northern Territory code of practice for responsible gambling🤣🤣🤣 Can also click on Safer Betting, which is a real cop out, as really they are putting the onus back onto the punter…. how many punters with gambling problems will look at these options, very few i suggest. Also interesting is this statement….We have a team of dedicated staff well versed in providing advice and assistance. We regularly make contact with customers where we’ve identified there may be some element of risk??? WTF, none of the 20 or so punters that discussed this had ever had the TAB check in with them regarding their loses, and some were pretty big punters, in fact only contact that was ever made by the TAB was regarding account restrictions? Also mentioned by group, it seems most of Aussie operators email customers win/loss statements each month, i know Sportsbet & Betfair did, nothing from Betcha & TAB, in fact worse that that, they have set up Betcha to entice young people to bet, mostly on sport. I feel uneasy about this, youngsters have gambling at their fingertips 24/7, unlike people around my age, early 80s TAB only opened certain days of week, no casinos and no online betting. What are others views on this matter, it seems people are worried about greyhounds getting injured, but is enough getting done helping gamblers online?

Can confirm not Broadster…. a mate who doesnt bet much, but after a few beers offloads on a couple favs

Hope nobody took it🫣, Pinn rode a perfect race to get beaten… should have just taken sit when pressured…

No…. The TAB tote staff manager said it was the only way for my mate to get paid…. told him to place several, smaller bets with collects under $1000, so they can pay cash without questions 🤣 And, not sure if your drinking, but i never mentioned anything about the aged TAB equipment

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🫣
