How to Delete Your TAB Account

Australian Racing Institution

TAB (Totalisator Agency Board) is Australia's most iconic betting brand, owned by Tabcorp Holdings. Operating since the 1960s, TAB is licensed and regulated across multiple Australian states and territories. As a fully licensed Australian operator, TAB is required to comply with responsible gambling laws and honor account closure requests.

Australian Licensed Operator

Good news: TAB operates under strict Australian regulatory oversight from state and territory racing authorities. They are legally required to process account deletion requests and provide access to responsible gambling tools including BetStop integration.

Step 1: Prepare Your Account

Before requesting account closure, complete these important steps:

Withdraw all funds - Process all pending withdrawals from your TAB account
Settle racing bets - Wait for all horse racing and greyhound bets to settle
Complete sports bets - Ensure all sports wagers have been resolved
Save betting history - Download your transaction history and statements for tax records
Note your account details - Save your TAB account number and registered details

Multi-State Consideration

If you use TAB across multiple Australian states (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, TAS, NT, ACT), your account closure will apply to all jurisdictions as Tabcorp operates a unified national platform.
