TAB Review
If there’s one Australian betting brand you’re going to already be familiar with, it’s TAB.
Founded on Australian soil back in 1964, has a long history to back it up, and its 300,000+ customers can vouch for it as well.
Tabcorp, which owns the brand along with numerous other betting companies, has been running the site in its present form since 2012 (though it was definitely functioning well before that).
So, we review TAB, Australia's most recognisable bookmaker. From the referral codes to horse racing features and live streams, we run you through everything you need to know about betting online with TAB.com.au.

Reasons to Bet at TAB
Prior to our analysis of dedicated sections, we look at the elements that the betting sites claim to be their strongest points.
Here are some of the main reasons to bet at Tab.com.au over any other Australian bookie:
Same Game Multis
The TAB Same-Game Multis feature lets you really put your sports knowledge to the test by adding multiple markets to the same bet and multiplying the odds.
For example, within the same soccer match, you could have Scoreline, Goalscorer and To Be Carded markets under the same bet.
Deposit Limits
TAB Australia gives its customers the option to set limits on how much money they can deposit into their account within a specified period of time. For example, you could set a $100 limit every 24 hours.
This responsible gambling tool can be a valuable asset, preventing you from chasing losses beyond the threshold you set.
Play Central
The Play Central live racing feature includes all three Sky Racing channels, allowing you to witness the action as it unfolds as you place your bets.
TAB Bonus Bets & Promo Codes
After a recent change in Australian gambling legislation, bookies down under are no longer allowed to use promo codes to offer incentives to prospective customers.
Codes can still be found, though, and will instead simply iron out the signup process, speed things up and ensure you get started the right way.
TAB, and ourselves, cannot describe the promotions and bonus bets that are available to existing customers, either - you will need to register and take a look for yourself to see what’s going on in this department.
Horse Racing Bets at TAB
Horse racing is under the spotlight at TAB, with harnesses and dogs just behind on the undercard. When it comes to the racing markets you can bet on, it doesn’t really get much better.
You can choose from Win, Place, Quinella, Trifecta, First 4, Exacta, Duet, Trio, Bundle Bet, Parlay, R Double and E Quaddie bets.
To help you make your decisions, there are plenty of tools on standby, including runner details, track details, weather information, tips, speed maps, forms and flucs.
Sports Betting at TAB
For those of you who have come for regular and alternative sports, there’s a lot to admire about the offerings on this betting site.
Compared to many other Australian betting sites, there is a feast of options in terms of categories, with all of the most popular betting sports covered in addition to some lesser-wagered alternatives.
Here’s the list of categories that can be found in the sportsbook section of the site:
- AFL
- American Football
- Athletics
- Badminton
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Boxing
- Cricket
- Cycling
- Entertainment
- Esports
- Field Hockey
- Golf
- Handball
- Ice Hockey
- Motor Sport
- NRL FootyTAB
- Novelties
- Politics
- Rugby League
- Rugby Union
- Snooker
- Soccer
- Surfing
- Table Tennis
- Tennis
- Todays Offers
- UFC
- Volleyball
As you can see, there is plenty to choose from and it’s unlikely that your favourites are missing.
TAB Bet Types
We’ve already looked at the markets that are available for Australian racing, but how do things look when we dive deeper into what is available in the sportsbook?
Well, one thing’s for sure - TAB doesn’t limit how much you can put your sporting knowledge to the test. For Premier League soccer matches, as an example, around 200 betting markets can be found.
In some smaller sports, there obviously isn’t quite as much choice, but this is standard throughout the industry with some sports simply just not having as many possible outcomes.
TAB Mobile Betting App
The TAB mobile app is available for Android and Apple devices through their respective app stores. Whether you prefer to wager on your smartphone or tablet, and whether you prefer to wager during your bus commute or your downtime, this app can be quite valuable.
You'll never lose out on any features by betting on the go thanks to the app's parity with the main desktop site.
TAB Payment Details
It’s nice to see that TAB is keeping up to date with its payment options, which can’t be said for too many of its competitors. They’ve chosen to include some modern payment systems alongside the “traditional” options.
When you’re looking to make a deposit into your TAB betting account, you can choose from any of the following options:
- Credit card
- Debit card
- PayPal
- Apple Pay
- BPay
- Cash (retail outlets)
TAB Customer Service
Although there is no Live Chat feature to help make contact as easy as it should be, the customer service from TAB is pretty good overall.
The optimal contact method is email since the telephone number is intended for phone betting.
Even the email form isn’t as easy as it should be to find. You need to head to the Help Centre via the main menu, click “Contact Us” in the top right-hand corner of the page and then scroll right to the bottom where you’ll see the “Email Us” box.
- “Email Us” contact form.
