UTAB, for the Tabcorp-acquired markets previously owned by UBET, in Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory and Tasmania and.SuperTAB (later S-TAB) for Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, and Western Australia (and previously Tasmania before its acquisition by Tatts Group).Current betting provision Īlthough the state TABs are now all owned by Tabcorp except in Western Australia, due to legislative and other reasons three separate totalisator pools continue to exist in Australia, running mostly along historic operator lines: The Western Australia TAB was established in 1961 and is still state run, currently through state racing regulator Racing and Wagering Western Australia.

UBET outlets were rebranded back to 'TAB' in 2019, using the then-current Tabcorp style branding, in the wake of the merger of Tatts Group with Tabcorp. TABs in Queensland, South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania were re-branded as UBET in 2015, as part of a rebranding of the UniTAB division of Tatts Group - replacing both the TAB brand at retail outlets, and a TattsBet brand introduced online. Tabcorp and Tab Limited later merged in 2004, followed by UniTAB merging with lotteries operator Tattersall's (to become Tatts Group) in 2006. Originally having been run as state government agencies, most Australian TABs have been progressively privatised, beginning with Victoria in 1994 (becoming Tabcorp), and following with New South Wales in 1998 (becoming Tab Limited) and Queensland in 1999 (becoming TAB Queensland Limited, later UniTAB Limited when it merged with the South Australian TAB).
