TAB Phonebet to close early Saturday 26th February

As a result of the devastating earthquake in Christchurch on Tuesday, TAB Phonebet will be closing at midnight on Saturday 26th February.

The Christchurch Phonebet centre is currently closed as a result of the earthquake. While there has been a fantastic effort from the Auckland and Wellington Phonebet centres to increase capacity to cover this absence, they are unable to provide this service beyond midnight on Saturday. It will be available in full service during the punting day and tab.co.nz or Touchtone will be available to place bets beyond this time.

It is anticipated that TAB Phonebet will resume full service and hours next Saturday.
