Wagering

Tabcorp’s decision to abandon its pre-raceday service for betting markets on non-metropolitan meetings has provided a window of opportunity for another bookmaker.

Dean Shannon has resigned as chief executive of Entain's Australasian arm and he will depart the global wagering firm at the end of June.

Tabcorp has confirmed it is investigating ways to return a low latency Sky Racing feed on its website after removing it due to technical issues.

As wagering on Australian racing continues to plummet, some of those who make a living through betting on it are urging a major change to how it is being promoted.

Will Tabcorp’s renewed focus on retail deliver the wagering revival they are hoping for? Bren O’Brien dives into how it intends to reinvent the in-venue betting experience.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club conceded an issue with its betting pools late in Sunday’s Sha Tin meeting cost around HK$350 million in turnover, while Australian punters were shut out of betting on commingled pools.

The early betting landscape of Australian racing changed significantly when Tabcorp altered its approach to publishing odds for certain meetings. One rival bookmaker believes the move lifts the lid on a bigger industry issue.
