TAB New Zealand

TAB New Zealand (TAB NZ), previously known as the New Zealand Racing Board (NZRB) and the Racing Industry Transition Agency (RITA), is a statutory monopoly for New Zealand sports betting, including betting on horse racing and greyhound racing. It was established under the Racing Act 2003 to operate the TAB, promote the racing industry and maximise the profits of the industry. It broadcasts racing on two television channels Trackside 1 and 2.

Since 2020, the management rights for TAB New Zealand have been franchised to multinational gaming entity Entain effective June 2023.

The Board has an obligation under the Racing Act to regulate and improve the New Zealand racing industry. It must schedule the racing calendar to maximise profit. It must promote wider ownership of racehorses and greyhounds, and best practice amongst racing clubs and racing events. It must also aim to improve the technology and efficiency of the industry, improve the atmosphere of race day events and improve the facilities of racing venues.
