Punters Competition – Frequently Asked Questions

Do we use our own nominated TAB account?
Yes. Each team will use their own nominated TAB account for the competition.

Do you need our TAB account number?
Yes. TAB account numbers will be required at the time of entry. If you're unsure how to find this, our team will be on hand to assist on the day.

How are live bets treated? (e.g. futures bets, sports bets, or any bets that don’t settle within the competition time)?
Only bets that settle within the competition timeframe will be counted. Any futures, sports, or other live bets that do not conclude during the competition day will be excluded from the final audit — as will any associated collects.

Can punters run more than one live ticket at a time?
No. Only one live ticket can be active per account at any given time. However, teams may buy back in if their funds are exhausted.

You're welcome to bring your phone charger — power points are available in the room. However, we will not be providing chargers on the day. Alternatively, you can log into your TAB account on a friend’s device if needed.

Will there be a tote or betting pods in the punters room?
Yes. Operators will be available in the punters room to take non-competition bets throughout the day.

Yes. Free Wi-Fi will be available and we encourage all participants to connect on the day. Wi-Fi details and password will be displayed around the room.

Do I need to enable location services?
