MEDIA RELEASE Tabcorp to Donate More Than $1.5 Million to Bushfire Relief Monday 13Th January MEDIA RELEASE Tabcorp to donate more than $1.5 million to bushfire relief Monday 13th January: Tabcorp has announced that it will donate more than $1.5 million to bushfire recovery on behalf of its brands TAB, Sky Racing, the Lott, MAX and Keno. All of Tabcorp’s proceeds from the regular Saturday Lotto draw on 25 January will be donated to the bushfire relief effort, which is expected to be in excess of $1.5 million. The draw will be known as the Bushfire Benefit Draw. “We offer our deepest sympathies to the many Australians that have lost loved ones, homes or their livelihood during this national crisis,” said Tabcorp CEO David Attenborough. “The Australian spirit has been truly inspirational throughout this ordeal and the Tabcorp Group is pleased to play its part in supporting the recovery effort.” Tabcorp has also provided financial relief to hotels, clubs and racing partners that have been directly impacted by bushfires and relief operations. This comes in addition to the $100,000 donation made by Tabcorp’s Keno brand to assist Team Rubicon in late 2019 in their efforts to clean and rebuild bushfire affected communities, particularly those who have lost property in Northern New South Wales. Tabcorp is also dollar matching donations made to bushfire relief charities by its 5,000 employees, as well as amending its existing volunteering policy to provide open-ended paid leave for volunteer firefighters and reservists throughout this time. “Many of our own people have been deeply impacted by these bushfires. We have partners in pubs, clubs, newsagents and retail outlets across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia that have been devastated and we’re committed to providing as much support as we can during this difficult time,” Mr Attenborough said. Tickets in the Saturday Lotto Bushfire Benefit Draw, Saturday Lotto draw 4019 on Saturday 25 January 2020, are available at the Lott outlets across Australia (excluding Western Australia), online at thelott.com or via the Lott app. ENDS For Tabcorp media enquiries please contact Kate Fisher [email protected] or 0410 085 103 About Tabcorp Tabcorp is a world-class diversified gambling entertainment group employing more than 5000 people.

  • Club Gaming in New South Wales, Australia: the Transition to Industry Maturity
    Club Gaming in New South Wales, Australia: The Transition to Industry Maturity Nerilee Hing Lecturer in Club Management and Food Service Management Southern Cross University Lismore, Australia Abstract The New South Wales club gaming industry has existed for forty years since the introduction of slot machines in 1956 and has witnessed the impact of chang­ ing legal, competitive, social, economic, and technological factors on its competi­ tiveness. Using Michael Porter's framework of competitive forces (1980), this paper analyzes the industry's life cycle in terms of entry barriers, industry rivals, customer markets, and substitute products. This analysis provides evidence that the industry has evolved from an emergent industry to one which is now approach­ ing maturity. Industry cooperation, strategic management, and a refocusing of marketing efforts are suggested as suitable responses by club management to the intensifying competitive forces accompanying industry maturity. Introduction The primary focus of this paper is to analyze the evolution of the slot ma­ chine gaming industry in registered clubs in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, tracing its development through the life cycle stages from inception to maturity. Since slot machines, or poker machines as they are called in Australia, were legal­ ized some 40 years ago, changing legal, competitive, social, economic, and tech­ nological factors have resulted in the transition of NSW club gaming from an emergent industry to one which is now approaching maturity. Using Michael Porter's framework of competitive forces (1980), this evolution is analyzed in terms of changing entry barriers, industry rivals, customer markets, and substitute products to identify key developments in the industry and future challenges for club management.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 11 October 2018] p6950a-6963a Mr Peter Katsambanis; Mrs Robyn Clarke; Ms Libby Mettam; Mr Donald Punch; Mr Ben Wyatt; Acting Speaker; Mr Reece Whitby; Mrs Liza Harvey; Mr Kevin Michel GAMING AND WAGERING LEGISLATION AMENDMENT BILL 2018 Second Reading Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MR P.A. KATSAMBANIS (Hillarys) [3.09 pm]: I continue my remarks that were interrupted earlier in the day. I reiterate that there are good aspects of this legislation, in particular the changes that are proposed to be made to the racing bets levy scheme with the treatment of bet backs and the calculation, the turnover, applied to betting exchanges. The legislation will see the removal of the really unnecessary red tape on interstate raffles and lotteries that are conducted by charitable and sporting organisations. That can work both ways because it also enables Western Australian products to be sold in other places more easily, creating a level playing field. It will hopefully mean that those charitable bodies, sporting organisations and the like—lots of not for profits that use the raffle system for fundraising—will be able to raise greater funds. If there are any issues about the distribution of funds between state and national bodies, hopefully the state bodies will all get together and make sure they get their fair share and the national bodies will start listening, particularly representative organisations, be they veterans groups such as the Returned and Services League of Australia, surf lifesaving clubs or similar organisations. I think the national body should always understand that it is the grassroots, state-based, locally based clubs and organisations that are the heart of those organisations, and they should make sure the grassroots of their organisations get the appropriate funding.
