Entain holding government to ransom…they are stating they need to allow betting on Australian dogs….which they think will bring in $44m per year? Do you really see the Greens and the goody club allowing that? This is not going well for Entain… And just to add, I have not bet with tab or betcha all weekend, a first for me for a long while…. I’m gonna keep it up in protest and I hope others follow

Most are probably over your horse butt pics….

Oh dear, here we go again.. Well, it’s a joke that dog racing is going to be banned in NZ…. yet Entain can still allow gambling on Aussie dogs? Or are you happy with it. Be good if you actually give your views, rather than your normal one line questions, or copy and post, it’s your specialty, come on, surprise us😊

It is a complete joke the dog situation

Yeah there is a fine line to move with bets, I like the darts and a few yrs back used Betfair a bit…. But not even trying with Entain. Not had a bet today, I’m protesting from home🤣

Yeah, looking at some of the nonsense comments, I don’t think many on this site bet on live sport. Yes your right, it’s frustrating when betting on live sport the TAB suspends betting while they fluff around re setting odds, or sometimes they stop offering option. They also offer less options on sport, I was just looking at a golf option (Rocket Classic) TAB / Betcha offer betting on third round leader, but here is the issue, they only have half the cut to bet on…. leaders are on -14, and bottom of the cut was on -6, the lead has changed greatly first 2 rounds, so anything could happen. Just looked at Sportsbet, they allow betting, but of course have whole field available.

Yes but Entain suspend odds as soon as play changes. Aus operators don’t suspend options nowhere near as much, Betfair always keeps event open.

Seemed everyone else understood it.

Typical NZ racing shit…. so many things need fixing…. but priority is to piss off the poor NZ punters and tell them how and where they punt…..pricks. NO INVESTING FOR ME TODAY AT TAB….

Yeah, I thought I made sense…. Still not heard anything from Sportsbet, sent me some Saturday promos today…. ha, my account still open but I have withdrawn money out, won’t close just yet

Yes, he mentioned it is now blocked…my point not only went over Chiefs head…. It whacked him on the arse coming back😙

You do miss the point at times, who is comparing Betfair to a mainstream betting agency…. my point is he will no longer be able to bet at Betfair…. And I’m not sure if you have a reading problem or not…. so are you saying Betfair has only small pools on sport? Oh deary me…

Met a mate today for lunch, likes to punt but mainly on sport. While he bets with TAB & Betcha he also uses Betfair. He used the Golf this morning as an example, he likes to punt on first round leaders, TAB & Betcha had no live option this morning but luckily as the leaderboard changed frequently he was able to bet / lay on Betfair, made a very good profit. But now, he is looking to close both TAB & Betcha accounts, as without Betfair and other Aus accounts, he sees gambling without the certainty of live markets will limit his winnings, so getting out. Just another example of what punters see with these changes…

You sort of think Aus will start charging more for product, why not. Can’t have it both ways….

Asked Sportsbet what happens next 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s started already…. For the first time that I can remember, the Tab didn’t offer bet returns on first 2 races today at Riccarton….dont need to when your control nz

Haha, most gamble online so won’t be like the good old days…. 40 yrs ago TAB had real monopoly, before lotto only had Golden Kiwi. But things have changed now, we have pokies everywhere…. Online casinos, NZ casinos, lotteries world wide, Lotto, Keno….. and so it goes. Tab think it’s gonna be like the old days…. which it’s not,

90%, so that’s a big slice, and no doubt if your not betting this amount in NZ, you were getting better odds or better odds options, or something NZ can’t offer, so maybe you are with Betfair, as some of my mates are. I bet you get emailed from Betcha to join if your already not, they will need to try and get punters back. i had Betfair acc, but closed it couple years back when I could withdraw back on card easily, and also wasn’t using it too much. My split recently, 45% Betcha, 45% Sportsbet, 10% TAB, but not last few weeks. NZ won’t get Sportsbet’s 45%, I can state that

Depends on a few things…. Betcha have offered me a deposit bonus bet match of 50% up to $100, they offer this often, while the TAB have stopped any offers, and remember they used to offer 2nd, 3rd &4th bonus back races ….. but these have now declined and only offer 2nd & 3rd on less races. So I’m predicting there may be an increase of betting turnover initially…. but once offers decline turnover will decrease…… I have 20 mates on a watts app…. All gamblers, all made contact yesterday and all have overseas accounts….. none stated they will punt more with NZ Entain…..good

Why should NZ Entain expect to clip the ticket on my betting on Aussie racing? I don’t think people understand what has previously happened, for an example I will use Sportsbet… They give me many bet returns or other promo offers each day, Saturday the best is when I use the most on Aussie racing, also give me up to $50 any leg fail SGM on basketball, League, AFL, so I usually use these options, far better than tab / betcha offer. Why the hell do NZ think they deserve all of overseas betting, WTF. There’s a reason punters bet overseas, they might be restricted in NZ, bet types, better odds etc…. i for one…. WILL MAKE SURE I BET THE SAME IN NZ AS ALWAYS…. Or less, because we know what will happen, once Entain have the monopoly, TAB & Betcha will offer less & less promos and worse odds…. this will happen pretty quick, as soon as they do this, turnover will tumble….

Totally agree, hopefully this backfires bigtime….. otherwise Entain will make a bundle and bank it overseas. McAnulty was stupid teaming up with Entain, could have had far better opportunities if NZ teamed with Sportsbet…

What sport, you mean racing? Poor old punter expected to prop up racing is it, so while anyone can gamble on a casino overseas and buy anything they want overseas, NZ government now insists that they control where I gamble….. even worse 90% of my gambling is on overseas sports or Aus racing….. overseas operators could argue they provide the goods, so should get more from it? And what about the dogs…. so looks like they are going, but hang on, it seems Entain will still provide Aus greyhounds for NZ punters to gamble on….. FFS. I’m angry about this….

Nope, talking to Sportsbet today, it seems if it’s law in NZ they will not allow NZ punters to bet with them, they also stop some Aussie states from promotions.

What a crock of shit….. I’m really peeved off about this. How dare they tell me where I can gamble. Right, this is if for me, I will be betting less than ever. Seems they are counting on basketball punters to make it rich…

It’s another gambling site run by Entain and operated by Australians. Supposedly targeting younger punters who want to gamble on sports, but you can bet on horses also. No agencies, all online depositing and withdrawals
