How do we find out what retail promotions are on? I haven’t seen any since Cox Plate day.

The ones Vouris talks about at around the seven minute mark that Guerin pretends he doesn’t know about.

I don't bet retail but I think from what Vouris said, they are offered only on the retail pods when you use them. Has anyone who does bet retail seen them?

There was one about two or three weeks ago.  Not sure if it was Cup week.  From memory it was a bonus type cash promotion but they float around in one form or another all the time.  

Interesting that the oncourse % to Clubs is 25% higher if through a digital device.  Does that mean betting on you phone oncourse or using one of the pods that they put on course now?

Desperate?  Or making punting more accessible?

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🫣

ENTAIN has only been here for just over two years.  They inherited a broken retail model with equally broken and aged equipment.  They have been steadily upgrading all the equipment.  I don't think you can blame for that.  No point promoting something that was broken!!

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
