30 HOURS TO THE BIGGEST COCK UP BY TAB

At the moment it seems that you can only access relatively recent results - 21 Dec 2018 is the earliest date I can currently get results for. Hopefully, over time, we will see a longer range become available. 

Yes you are correct, should have double checked.

Data on the old site went back to the early 200's, so hopefully they will transfer it over

Slowly warming to the new TAB site, seems it is just slow way doing things. Also say the cost of 50 million, seems to be  about 30 million too much. Wonder if issues continue they will explore damages or have provisions in there service contract.

Are you crazy.???   Its $50 million too much. A workable tote betting site can be put up for $50K  That would exclude say Sports Betting and only one of tote betting or fixed odds. Also as historical horse data available on other sites no need for duplication.  Shopping around perhaps the $50K could be reduced as well. However conditional on the backend infrastructure.

I have posted this before but there is a way of accessing the NZ TAB from Australia. My son in Perth did it for me, and I'm sure Harewood on this site may have managed to do it as well. 

It was to technical for me but it can be done.

Be interesting to know as each time I try the system blocks the IP address. I can get to a lot of sites but not TAB. Something to do with legality of betting offshore from Australia.

Wow...what a thread....

...and what a giant balls up this has been....

Sad old Thaddeus Taylor praising John Boy as if he's the new messiah...as if he'd written the New Testament 

...wtf...protecting his job perhaps?

Earily then told Thad is was a 'dog' on the radio...to which Thad nearly choked on his wheeties...

" oh well...we're open to constructive criticism though Pete"

Holy f in underpants...

Something new...so much slower 

Incredible

I downloaded an app called Windscribe on to my ipad. I just use an address from outside of NZ, currently using Germany and I can access the NZ TAB. Only use it for checking results/times etc. Works a treat.

Thanks for that I'll try and see if I can do that. Its odd we can access Australian TAB from NZ but not NZ TAB from Australia. Wonder who negotiated that

Had to chuckle at the last paragraph - "people visiting Australia should place their bets before leaving" ir similar words to that - OK for a day trip but not much sense for a longer trip.  

Yeah I read that at the time and though it summed up how clueless a lot of their people are.

Hardly worth the NZ TAB applying for a license - "800 accounts generating $1 million in turnover."   Says a lot about competitiveness.

I'd imagine there is more than that over here - the address on my account is still my NZ one so I never received any notification of the change as a result of that....own fault there.  Anyone on holiday wouldn't change address either so in my opinion it is not an accurate statement they made. I move home at end of June so issue will go away.

There is also a number of sports betting options available on the website that are not available on the self service machines which seems a bit silly to me. Also on the site there are no option numbers so you can’t manually fill out a form while getting the option numbers off your phone.

Something that hasn't been noted because back in November we did not know what systen NZTAB was going to hit us with.

The OpenBet system with at least three bookmakers including Ladbrokes and Sportsbet crashed heavily in Australia before the Melbourne cup for about 1/2 hour causing chaos. The opposing bookmakers had a windfall signing up new customers at a frantic rate in that space of time.

I have a theory that OpenBet were developing a new system for New Zealand but because of problems and delays have reverted to their old system hence the lack of NZ customization.

Correct. How long before online is the only option?

I did an account withdrawal direct to my bank account. Initially yesterday it wouldn’t work however today it did and the money was in my account within an hour or two. 

Yes, i will say the withdraw system is working well, in fact, i probably will never have to walk into tab outlet again! I suppose that is what they want, get rid of more staff

It’s always sad when staff are impacted but it really was a much needed improvement. It was a massive advantage the competition had over them. Do they still charge to deposit?
