TAB Review & AU Rating 2023

The TAB Australia web page may not win any awards for its artistic direction but the homepage is clear and the layout makes it easy for you to find what you are looking for. In the top right hand corner of the homepage you can find the join and login buttons. You can also find the list of different sports and leagues that TAB offers in the middle of the homepage. You can even use the intuitive search bar at the top of the page to find what you’re looking for even more efficiently. At the bottom of the homepage you can find TAB’s list of social media pages, their help center and even where to find the nearest local betting shop near you.

The actual usability of the site is a breeze, like we mentioned before, the search bar helps you navigate to just about everything that the site has to offer. You can easily locate the betting slip on the right hand side of the homepage just next to the current live and upcoming fixtures. Placing the bet is very straightforward and executing the bet takes hardly any time at all. You won’t run into any problems with your wagers. Furthermore, creating your account is simple; you merely follow a couple of quick steps and add the necessary personal and banking information.

Overall, we were impressed with the simplicity of the site. That may seem like a strange complement but many online bookmakers will try to dazzle you with their homepages which can often lead to a confusing and frustrating experience when trying to locate simple things. Our TAB ratings were certainly influenced in a positive way by the easy navigability of the site, the page loading times and the general layout.

It's important that online bookies provide their player base with a decent selection of payment methods for their deposits and withdrawals. Using the same objective criteria as we applied in our Ladbrokes and Neds reviews, our TAB Australia review now takes a closer look at some of the payment methods available on the site.

What we found was that players can choose from a credit/debit card, BPay, PayPal, EFT or any of the local betting shops that include TAB Agency, PubTAB or ClubTAB venues. So while not offering an incredible amount of options, there is still enough here to satisfy players. Seeing the addition of PayPal is great too as it has become an ever more popular mode of payment for gambling sites. As far as any transaction fees are concerned we are happy to tell you that there aren’t any. The only thing to concern yourself with deposits is that BPay will require a minimum deposit of $20, a credit card is $1 while the rest of the options have no limit on the minimum amount you can deposit. Maximum deposits have no limit other than for a credit card which is $1,000.

As far as withdrawals on the TAB site go it's very straightforward. You will be charged no fees on any transactions (at least from TAB’s side). There is no limit for minimum or maximum withdrawal from any of the available payment methods on the site.

Customer service is a crucial element to any successful online bookmaker. Keeping the players happy should always be paramount which is why our TAB Australia review analysed the overall quality of the customer care on the site.

TAB Australia has a help center that includes a host of different FAQs that should clear up any of your more simple queries. You can also contact their support staff via a telephone number that is given in the help center as well. One thing we will say is that we were a little disappointed by the lack of any live chat feature on the site. Live chat features are arguably the most popular form of contact for players as it is the easiest and quickest way to have a question answered or a problem solved.

TAB Australia  does allow you to submit a form with your personal details and a description of your query or problem. There is no real information on the site with regards to how quickly they will get back to you. What we can say is that after speaking to the customer support over the phone we were pleased with the level of professionalism shown and the overall invested nature of the technical support staff.

Overall, our TAB ratings were impacted somewhat negatively by the lack of a live chat feature as this has become the best way to get problems solved in this day and age. So did we really answer the question “is TAB reliable?” Honestly, we believe so as the support team was very professional. We would like to see a little more clarity in how long it will take for them to reply to the submission forms and emails though. Customer service is very important, check out how we answered “is Palmerbet reliable?” to see more on how we test the customer service of these bookmakers.

So, is TAB secure? In order to answer this question our TAB reviews needed to take a closer look at the current gambling licenses that the bookmaker holds. As well as analyse the overall website security from page to page.

Our TAB reviews found that the bookmaker has covered all its bases for legal gambling in Australia. So, it ultimately depends on where you are situated in the country as TAB have acquired a NSW wagering license, a Victorian wagering license, or an ACT wagering license. They also operate legally under the regulation of the South Australian Responsible Gambling Code of Practice.

What about the security on the site itself? Our reviews found that TAB runs the latest SSL encryption technology on all of their pages. With this technology TAB protects their players from any third-party entities looking to steal your data. This data includes your banking details, login information and your transaction history.

Overall, we were happy to find that TAB takes their players' security very seriously and even gives you links to several health organisations that aid in gambling addiction. You can go forward with your sports betting on the TAB site in the knowledge that you are protected and that the website is secure. See how we answered the question “is Ladbrokes secure?" to see more on how we check the safety of different bookmakers.

As it is with any welcome bonus, TAB cannot offer or promote any tiered rewards system on their site. However, there are a number of different TAB promotions being run at the moment that includes everything from cashback rewards to odds boosters. Be sure to check up on the promotions page after you create your account to see what TAB has in store for you.
