Newsroom has seen an email sent by Entain subsidiary Party Casino to a New Zealand customer on May 29, just days before the partnership came into effect and a week after McAnulty’s thumbs up, promoting a free sports betting offer. Racing Minister Kieran McAnulty gave the London Stock Exchange-listed gambling giant the green light to take over TAB operations for 25 years on May 23, guaranteeing an investment of $900 million in the New Zealand racing industry over five years.Ĭabinet will also extend TAB’s monopoly over sports and racing betting to the online environment, where there are currently little to no regulations. TAB’s new operator, Entain, appears to have breached the New Zealand Gambling Act within a week of receiving ministerial approval.
