TAB NZ

Big opportunity to make a big impact – we’re on the lookout for a CFO to help lead TAB NZ into the future. If you’re a proven financial leader ready to make an impact at a national level, we’d love to hear from you. https://lnkd.in/gcQ59bhv

Unanimous. There are a number of options available when it comes to gambling regulation, but lawmakers from the six parties in parliament voting unanimously in favour of the Racing Industry Amendment Act signals that from next week we’ll have it pretty right in New Zealand. * World-class customer experience - delivered by our strategic partners Entain Australia & New Zealand * A safe environment - tech investment in harm minimisation and the benefits that flow from reducing the number of operators (in this case to one) * Maximised returns to the community - which necessarily involves making sure policy settings channel punters into the regulated market and that commercial models are fit for purpose Congratulations to everyone who has played their part in today’s law change (there have been a heap of you). Kiwis are better for it. https://lnkd.in/gdhHmd9V NZ bans offshore betting, TAB gains monopoly with new law

Our establishment of this group demonstrates the criticality of a healthy racing industry to the performance of TAB NZ. We've built some great momentum through our landmark strategic partnership with Entain Australia & New Zealand and recently we've had unanimous parliamentary support for the Racing Industry Amendment Bill. However, there are still some key issues to resolve to ensure we unearth the racing industry's latent growth. So how did our first meeting with the newly-formed Advisory Committee go? Yes, there was lots of passion. However, it was the commercial skills and focus on solutions which demonstrated how valuable this group will be. These are serious people with a serious goal. They aren't donating their time to have their name in the paper... but it's still an article worth reading. https://lnkd.in/gi9UVCrT

NZTR, in collaboration with Entain Australia & New Zealand and TAB NZ, has confirmed the 2025–26 season calendar, featuring a total of 308 racemeetings - an increase on the previous year and a reflection of our strategic focus on growing engagement, maximising wagering opportunities, and supporting long-term industry sustainability. Key changes include a trial expansion of Sunday racedays, a significant uplift in Friday meetings, and improved scheduling alignment with the Australian market. These adjustments are designed to deliver stronger wagering outcomes and greater returns to the code.

The TAB Karaka Millions is now the annual showpiece event for the New Zealand racing industry - the marquee status punctuated by having both the PM and DPM on course Auckland Thoroughbred Racing Ellerslie Events | Ellerslie Racecourse. So why the picture of baked goods? Well, I’m lucky enough to have a small ownership share in Te Akau Racing - New Zealand | Australia’s filly Damask Rose who cruised to victory in the 3yo Karaka Millions and so I thought I better shout morning tea for the team! My local baker was pretty pumped about the unexpected Monday morning revenue boost, and his delight got me thinking about how TAB NZ’s direct funding to the industry stimulates the wider community in all sorts of different ways (after all, horse racing contributes $1.7billion to the NZ economy annually). It’s a big week for us and the industry, not just because of the 99th New Zealand Bloodstock national yearling sale happening at Karaka. Parliament returns and the Governance and Administration Committee will start considering the Racing Industry Amendment Bill which gives TAB NZ the exclusive rights to racing and sports betting in New Zealand. The Bill enables us - through our strategic partnership with Entain Australia & New Zealand - to maximise funding outcomes for the economically significant New Zealand racing industry and iconic sporting sector, all while making sure Kiwis are betting in the safest environment.

Big news and a huge outcome for racing and sport in New Zealand. Delighted that our financial support of the racing industry and sporting sector has been enabled through the Government's decision to reinstate TAB NZ with the sole racing and sports betting rights in New Zealand. https://lnkd.in/gerrSvMt
