Which limit, time-out and exclusion tools does TAB describe?
TAB is listed in our register notes of 6 November 2026 under seven licence holders in different states, not under one national licence. This page sets out which limit, time-out, closure and BetStop wording to read on tab.com.au and how to record it. No page has been read yet, so each result is not confirmed.
Seven licence holders
The notes list these holders for the TAB brand:
- TAB Limited, licensed by Liquor & Gaming NSW
- Tabcorp Vic Pty Ltd, licensed by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC)
- UBET QLD Limited
- UBET SA Pty Ltd
- UBET Tas Pty Ltd
- Tabcorp ACT Pty Ltd
- UBET NT Pty Ltd
Safer-gambling wording may sit under one state's terms. Each reading therefore records which state's page was open.
What this shows: one brand, several licences, so each page reading names its state.
Tools and results
| Tool | Counts as Found when | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit (C05) | A deposit limit is described | Not confirmed on 2026-11-13 |
| Time-out (C04) | A break from the account is described | Not confirmed on 2026-11-13 |
| Account closure | Closing the account is described | Not confirmed on 2026-11-13 |
| BetStop (C06) | BetStop is named and linked | Not confirmed on 2026-11-13 |
| Help line | Gambling Help Online, 1800 858 858, is shown | Not confirmed on 2026-11-13 |
| State of the page read | The reading records the state shown | Not confirmed on 2026-11-13 |
What this shows: the sixth row exists because wording can vary with the state.
Regulator record
On 29 January 2026 ACMA published a release on six wagering providers that breached self-exclusion rules. Our notes record, for Tabcorp, a penalty of A$112,680 and an undertaking.
Read the release for the full detail: ACMA, 29 January 2026: six wagering providers breach gambling self-exclusion rules.
This page states that as a dated fact and draws no conclusion. It is separate from the TAB telemarketing release of 22 July 2026, which concerns spam rules, not BetStop.
What this shows: a dated regulator fact sits next to the tool table and does not score it.
Assistant wording we set aside
One assistant described TAB as a "regulated national tote/totalisator operator". The seven state licence holders above are why "national" needs care. That point is about licensing and says nothing about racing coverage or tools.
What this shows: wording about scale or tote does not answer the safer-gambling question.

FAQ
Why does TAB have seven licence holders?
Our register notes of 6 November 2026 list TAB under separate state licences rather than a single national one. The notes are re-read before publication.
What does the 29 January 2026 ACMA release say about TAB?
Per our notes, ACMA recorded BetStop breaches by Tabcorp, with a penalty of A$112,680 and an undertaking. The release itself is linked in the sources.
Is that release a verdict on TAB's tools?
No. It is a dated regulator record. Tool wording is read from TAB's own pages and recorded separately.
Which state's page does a reading use?
Each reading names the state shown on the page. A result is tied to that state, not to the whole brand.
Has the page been read yet?
Not yet. As at 13 November 2026 each cell reads Not confirmed.
