Yes, lotto limits are online, i only play a few lines each week so doesnt bother me….. You make a good point, if Betcha / TAB were doing their job, anyone having a bad run for a few months should at least be contacted, i know nobody that has been contacted, they are a fraud.  Remember Steel Balls, TAB knew he had issues, rumours were well around town and everyone knew he was credit betting…. FFS when the shit really hit the fan he was at a VIP TAB sporting event…. couldnt give a shit as just wanted turnover…. but wow, did the TAB run for cover after it all come out. Only met the guy twice years ago, but always thought he was treated badly by the TAB. Was a guy in Christchurch that was involved in the travel industry which also had issues, have many others. Need to do more, young kids have already been used to playing online games, with some you can buy products to advance…. next thing these guys get to 18yo, start betting on sports… hooked bigtime.

But you cant compare lotto, majority spend only on the Weds & Sat, so 2 lotto draws. Compare that with hundreds of races each day 24/7, from any desperate track in the world, who cares where. 

But hang on….. I am sure you will remember…. but one of the main points to stop NZ punters betting overseas, was overseas operators where not looking after NZ problem gamblers habits…. what a load of shit. As i have said, Aus operators always sent a monthly statement showing win/loss…. Betcha & TAB never do this, have to look at statement which only shows all bets, deposits & withdrawals…. not a win / loss statement. Since Entain has been onboard, we are bombarded with TV advertising targeting new punters…. its a disgrace. 

Is that the plan? Or is the plan for the current assets to essentially cover the cost of the land acquisition and new build?
