TAB

South Africa's original tote, now in your pocket

The official Tote betting platform for South African horse racing.

TAB, the Totalisator Agency Board, is the original name in South African pool betting: the state-established pari-mutuel tote that has settled racing bets for generations. TabGold is the KwaZulu-Natal arm of that story, the online and telephone tote brand of Gold Circle, formed in 1996 from the amalgamation of the Durban Turf Club, Clairwood and Pietermaritzburg turf clubs, custodians of Greyville racing since the first Durban July in 1897.

As a true tote operator, TabGold offers the full range of pari-mutuel pools: Win, Place, Exacta, Trifecta, Quartet, Pick 6 and Jackpot, commingled into the national pool so KZN players share in the country's biggest dividends. Soccer13 and Soccer10 football pools regularly carry over millions, while members bet online, by phone or in branch, with live commentary on the service line and fractional tote betting on international meetings.

Punters who trust the pools rather than bookmaker margins choose TabGold: every dividend is shared among all players in the same pot. EFT deposits across all major banks, voucher top-ups and Durban-based support keep it local and simple. Now part of the Hollywood Group, the KZN tote keeps its heritage while gaining big-company muscle.
