TABtouch

TABtouch, formerly known as ‘Ozbet’ or ‘WA TAB’ (Western Australian TAB), has managed to capture a large part of the betting market across Australia. Evidence of this can be seen in the more than 300 shops across the Western region. Currently based in Darwin, the company hosts over 25,000 active users, in addition to a substantial annual revenue. Despite some shortcomings, notably its restriction to many countries, the major advantages of TABtouch lie in the quality of its services, its odds margins and the efficiency of its customer service.

Bonuses and promotions

Until further notice, TABtouch is not allowed to offer any welcome or deposit bonuses, and the reason for this is the introduction of new laws in the Australian gaming market.

The bookmaker limits the bet amount to $100 but can give you an extra 15% in winnings if you are successful.
