New TAB betting site launches tomorrow

TAB MEDIA RELEASE

SUBJECT: New TAB digital betting site

DATE: 16 April 2015

RELEASED BY: Phumelela Gaming

TAB’s new digital betting platform for horseracing, soccer and rugby bets on www.tabonline.co.za will be launched on Friday 17 April.

The new site is fully responsive to a variety of internet browsers and devices and offers many added features, ranging from mystery bets to new-look fields and a fixed-odds display from corporate bookmaker Betting World.

The site will provide a much-enhanced betting experience for TAB’s many online customers. But in order to give clients the opportunity to make a gradual transition from the old site to the new, both sites will run in tandem until 31 May. On Monday 1 June the old site will be discontinued.

Until then TAB’s online customers can choose whether to bet on the old or new site. TAB welcomes feedback about the new site from users, who are urged to email their comments, positive and negative, and any suggestions to the TAB Customer Care team. The contact details are on www.tabonline.co.za

Well done Phumelela, technology is the surest way forward. Hope the new site will be really good as I have been meaning to switch from telephone betting to internet for a long time.

Not logged in but just looks the same to me? has anything changed yet?

I really hope it's "first time right" bearing in mind the recent experiences with NEW and IMPROVED bookies websites.................I rely on this website daily!

Is this the new or the old site? The release says that the two sites will run in tandem initially.

I'm not sure, I expected to open today and see a new platform ?

.....this so called new site seems to be similar to the mobi site and the one they tried to launch some time ago and were met with a bit of guff.....nothing wrong with the site we have had since internet betting was 1st launched as it has nice colours that pop and IMO very user friendly.....

.....this new site is too plain very bland and coloureless.....light grey print not easy on these old eyes and the whole system looks like a downgrade rather than upgrade.....looks like foot shooting time again....as they claim it is gr8....yet again no surveys to their customer base....and like the Computaform debacle it's again, adapt and like it .....or lump it...

:silly:

Thanks Titch, I assume that this is only found in the member area once you are logged in, is this correct?

?.......yeah we again have a choice.......all be it for a few weeks and then.......adapt and use it.......
See that this thread has many views but few comments......are we going to carry on being cabbages and accept mediocrity along with poor service......please people how many online punters are we.......and it is a mystery that we are getting a new site to accommodate a new mystery bet when horse racing is supposed to be a game of skill......but now we can ask them to pick our numbers in a boxed trifecta or swinger for us...... :huh: .
Is this the way to bring in new mystery punters......I really don't think so..... :dry:

I have been using the new site to try and overcome the "resistence to change" ..................have found a few things missing that need to be addressed but other than provision for a mystery bet,I cannot find any benefits over the old site????..................why change for the sake of change ...........I don't quite get it!

Perhaps the management of tab-online could list the reasons and benefits so that we don't criticise unfairly!

Yeah me too ....been mucking about on the new site .....but also want to know what is the point for the change as I have used the old site across all mobile platforms with no problems .....what we have excluded to add and may be their biggest reason for the change is the addition of fixed odds betting provided by Betting World.....and in doing so they are trying to corner or do their best to convert any errand Tote players to their book making brethern.....the low hanging fruit syndrome.....once you have the 2 way player(tote and book) offer better book odds to win them from where ever they are placing book bets......you see they have a "credit" facility too.... :ohmy:
