rdytdy 5,341 Report post Posted June 1, 2019 It basically gives you a free throw at the stumps up to $30.00 especially when smaller fields get placed in the first couple of races at meetings ie Auckland the last two weeks, Trentham last week, Waikato the week before etc. Baz (NZ) and Basil brush 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puha 2,177 Report post Posted June 2, 2019 The Cricket one with the free $6 bets for each 6 your team hits is easy money also . Well it has the first 4 games . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz (NZ) 1,722 Report post Posted June 3, 2019 I'd like to see this promotion used more often...say at all meetings and maybe add the last two races as well. This may get punters investing all day! Currently an online only maximum $30 Win bet cashback is refunded if your selection finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th on the first two nominated races of a meeting selected by the TAB. Maybe increase this to $50.? This I'm sure can only increase turnover for the TAB. I for one know this promo has increased my turnover! I have never placed as many bets in a 6 week period ever as I have this past month and half! Well Done TAB I'm guessing this was your intention. Good to see a TAB initiative working for once!

rdytdy 5,341 Report post Posted June 4, 2019 I'm not clear on what you are saying Puha. Are you saying you are betting on the first two races at each meeting? ie 2 meetings then betting on four races? I believe you only get one shot at it Puha and that being the first particular race that qualifies that you have a bet on. If for example your first bet placed was Ellerslie R2 then that is the race that is applied to your account. After that bet any other bets placed on the bonus races named don't qualify for a refund of up to $30.00. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. It clearly stated in the advert the word "and", when mentioning race 1 AND 2 on selected meetings. Great concept (although nothing new) and pretty generous for this lot! Just have to be careful, as it goes on your first win bet (tote or FF) placed, for each dedicated race. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. I had listened to it being discussed on one of Des's Sunday shows and callers were saying they were only getting one refund. Hence I have been pretty particular which race to place my first bet in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
premixer 105 Report post Posted June 4, 2019 Yip all races advertised, have been paid out on multiples, my turnover at the TAB had gone up tenfold. Usually take any winnings and reinvest as well, so a winner for the TAB. Although i reckon I might have hit a record this past weekend, in the 8 available races, i only got one horse in the top 4. puha 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an Account Holder is eligible for a Promotion Refund (because their Qualifying Bet has finished 2nd, 3rd or 4th in a Qualifying Race), TAB will pay the Promotion Refund in the amount of the Qualifying Bet or in the amount of the Maximum Amount, whichever is the lower. No Promotion Refund will exceed the Maximum Amount. Promotion Refunds will be paid to the Account Holder’s TAB account within 24 hours of the completion of the Qualifying Race. TAB may, without limitation, withdraw an Account Holder's eligibility for this Promotion at any time, cancel this Promotion without notice, or amend these terms and conditions without notice. An excluded customer of the NZRB (being a customer who has self-excluded from the NZRB’s products, as well as any customer who has been excluded by the NZRB) is also not eligible for this Promotion. All Qualifying Bets, and bets made with Promotion Refunds, are subject to TAB betting rules. Promotion only available on Thursday 6 June, Friday 7 June and Saturday 8 June 2019.

Baz (NZ) 1,722 Report post Posted June 4, 2019 Your very first online bet in each of these races is considered your qualifying refund bet. Subsequent bets in the same events are not eligible for a refund. So this week we have 16 Races to invest on...in my case $30 win x 16 = $480 minimum chelseacol 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacko 123 Report post Posted June 6, 2019 I wonder how much effect these promotions have on TABs. I usually don't bet online as I rather go into the TAB and bet in there. But last couple of weeks I have been betting online instead. I wonder how many others have done the same. Also been enjoying being able to withdraw winnings straight into bank account. Maybe this is what they want, TAB's to close. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slam dunk 1,317 Report post Posted June 6, 2019 I am a bit interested how these promotions are treated accounting wise. Do they impact on the sports profits, racing profits or overall profits. Speaking of accounting is it reasonable to assume the delay in website corrections has something to do with the accounting period these expenses are charged to?
