TAB: one brand, several state licences

Licence records by state

One brand, several licences. The table lists each licence holder and its authority exactly as the snapshot gave them.

Check summary: seven licence holders appear in the snapshot; each needs its own ABN check.

The twelve checks

2 found (register snapshot) · 0 not found on the page checked · 10 not confirmed (C01 and C02 cover all seven records in the snapshot)

Check summary: two items found in the snapshot, ten waiting for page reads.

Regulator record

ACMA has published several releases about Tabcorp, the group behind TAB. Each is a fact from the release and not our rating.

• 29 January 2026: BetStop breaches. The figure in our notes is A$112,680 plus an undertaking, to be re-checked against the ACMA release.
• 12 February 2026: A$158,400 paid for taking 426 online in-play bets on tennis, February 2024 to June 2025, and an enforceable undertaking (release).
• 22 July 2026: more than A$2.7 million for telemarketing and Spam Act breaches (release).

What assistants say and what we could verify

One assistant called TAB the regulated national tote operator and a reference tote. The register does not use the word national. It lists seven state and territory licence holders, shown in the table above.

How TAB describes its tote products is read from its own tote and rules pages and recorded as the operator's words. Until those pages are read, the cells stay Not confirmed on 2026-11-13.

Not checked

Dividends, prices and racing coverage are not compared. Nor do we say whether the seven licences add up to one national service, because that is a legal reading and not a register fact.

Where TAB pages describe products such as a tote bet, we record the words used and the date. We do not test them. The pages of other operators are covered on their own profiles, for example Sportsbet and Ladbrokes and Neds.

Read the entries yourself

Search the ACMA register for tab.com.au. Expect more than one row, because each state or territory authority issues its own licence.

Write down every licence holder and its authority. Then look up each holder in ABN Lookup, because each company has its own ABN.

A profile that checked only one of the rows would say less than the register does. The seven-row table above is the whole of what the snapshot listed.

What would change this page

A row added or removed for any of the seven holders changes the page the same day. So does a new ACMA release about Tabcorp. Our notes record three releases for 2026, listed above, and the list is searched again at each re-check.

Tote and rules pages are read every 30 days.
