Sportsbet / Entain

[Newmarket]

Well, this is an interesting read.

No wonder Sportsbet have really cut down their promotions, seems like Star casino in big trouble in Australia also….

Seem there are numerous legal actions everywhere.

I can see Entain cutting their losses and exiting the NZ contract within 5 years. The good news is that new technology means bookmakers as we know them aren't necessary for racing. The quicker we can say "goodbye Entain" the better racing will be. 

Whilst at it have a look at the TAB website. Absolutely pathetic in so many ways. Slow to load, jumps about like a Trump supporter, if you click on something it beats you by a fraction of a second by going to say the 5th at Alice Springs dogs. Thats after when waiting for it to jump you've scrolled down only to have to scroll back up.

Well all the major share brokers are saying BUY BUY BUY.

I initially opened a Crown Bet account, which was transfered to Beteasy. Both were absolutely brilliant, not a big punter but had an account manager who would make contact several times a year, always gave me $100 bonus bets for my birthday. 

Once Sportsbet took over, was a step down. Initially promos were good but have gradually declined to a point where I get better promos with TAB and Betcha. So might close Sportsbet account, then if they do stop me from punting in Aus, won’t worry me.

Did everyone get the Exclusive offer from TAB this week? Deposit $100.00 and receive $100.00 worth bonus bets? Not bad at all..
