Betting on NZ TAB is outlawed in AustraliaHAGEN HOPKINS/GETTY IMAGES Punters in Australia are no longer able to bet on the NZ TAB due to a law change. The New Zealand Racing Board may pursue a licence for the Australian betting market, after its customers across the ditch were banned from placing bets on the NZ TAB. The Australian Government's new Interactive Gambling Amendment Act stops people in Australia betting with overseas bookmakers who don't have a licence in Australia and that includes the New Zealand betting agency, the TAB. So as of Wednesday this week, people in Australia cannot place a bet with the NZ TAB and it means even a Kiwi who travels to Australia for a weekend can't bet on the NZ TAB once they are there. Spokeswoman Kate Richards said one possible avenue was for the TAB to get an Australian betting licence.
