TAB Australia Review

TAB are the pioneers of Australian sport and racing gambling and one of the world’s largest publicly listed gaming companies. Nearly every Aussie punter will be familiar with the famous TAB/UBET machines in venues scattered around Australia and their competitive online agency. We take a look at TAB’s history and the features of their website and app in our full TAB review below.

About TAB

Owned and operated by parent company Tabcorp Holdings, the conglomerate is responsible for a large portion of the Australian gambling industry including the TAB retail outlets, Sky Racing, Sky Sports Radio, UBET and Keno. As of 2018, TAB boast over 300,000 active customers betting through the internet and phone, not to mention the massive amount of punters who place cash wagers in machines at TAB live venues throughout the country.

TAB was established in Victoria in 1964 and after 30 years of trading they announced their first major public offering in 1994 and was listed on the ASX. Since then, Tabcorp has gone on to purchase a number of different gambling companies in various states as well as their licenses such as Star City Holdings, Jupiters Limited, Tab Limited and Keno to make them the largest gaming company in Australia.

TAB Betting Markets

When it comes to sheer range of markets, there aren’t many bookmakers in the game that compare with TAB. Outside of probably Bet365 and Sportsbet, TAB offer markets on more sports than any other bookmaker. This alone is reason enough to join TAB if you haven't already.

As well as the major sports like AFL, NRL, NBA, NFL, Cricket and Tennis, you can also find a bunch of obscure sports in the TAB offerings as well as entertainment and politics novelties. TAB have some of the most competitive odds in the industry and will usually be prepared to take a decent bet.

TAB Features

One of the key features why punters choose TAB over their competitors is of course, Sky Racing. While other online bookmakers have acquired the license to the Sky Racing product over the last few years, no one does it quite like TAB. TAB users only need to have an account to take advantage of the live video and audio and can also stream a large number of sports straight through the website and mobile app.

One of the great features of the TAB homepage is the search bar. It too can be found in the top menu bar of the page and allows customers to type in any key word of a jockey, trainer, horse, greyhound, sport or team and quickly find all the upcoming markets relating to that keyword! This is a great feature if you’ve forgotten to place a bet and you only have a few minutes until your event kicks off.

TAB is largely no frills-based betting, however, day-to-day promotions and personalised offers are a big part of their product. Promotions can be found in the menu and are always evolving. Note that promotions are not available to all customers, and not available in all states, so please login to your TAB account to find out more.

TAB Website

The TAB website itself underwent a major overhaul in 2012 and has since been updated regularly. It offers one of the smoother and more seamless betting experiences in the Australian market, utilising the flash-based website and a different layout to most other sites. Chances are you’ll be able to find what you need on the homepage of the TAB site. The detailed page features the upcoming races, featured sporting events of the day and upcoming week and the top menu panel is where you’ll find links to your account, in play betting Sky Racing video and Sky Racing audio.

If you can’t find what you are looking for on the homepage or just want to browse the markets in general, then the full menu is what you’ll be looking for. Located in the top left-hand corner of the homepage, the menu is where you can find links to the full racing schedule of the day both in Australia and abroad, a full list of A-Z sports on offer as well as in play markets, multi builder, racing extras, results, my account, promotions, blog and help.

TAB Mobile App

In late 2022, TAB announced the launch of their new mobile app which has made a big impact. The new mobile app is impressive. It's developed on Google's Flutter open source software which means that regular updates and integration with the website and other products will be simple. The new app provides improved usability and a faster betting experience for customers. The app also includes access to the live streaming platforms so you'll never miss a minute of the action!

Expect to see more great products and features added to the TAB mobile app soon!
