Hot on the heels of Centrebet, TAB Sportsbet has given its website a complete overhaul. This has resulted in a betting interface that is faster and easier to use. We have updated our TAB Sportsbet review in the Betting Agencies section accordingly.
Below is our review conclusion:
After giving its website a much needed overhaul, TAB Sportsbet has overtaken most of the pack in interface design. The sports and race betting sites are now state of the art, making for more convenient wagering. TAB Sportsbet’s other drawbacks still remain, however. Their margins are higher than other leading bookmakers and there are no sign up offers. Having said that, TAB Sportsbet has a reputation for accepting larger wagers and it offers a good selection of sporting markets. Furthermore, the odds are often in contrast to other bookmakers. This makes the service useful for punters who hold other memberships. We recommend TAB Sportsbet as part of a portfolio of memberships, but novices are still better off using its sister service, Luxbet.
Let’s be realistic here. There was nothing wrong with the old TAB Sportsbet website. Not everyone has a mobile device and uses it for internet betting.
“This has resulted in a betting interface that is faster and easier to use.” Actually the current interface is very slow to load and you have to click on more buttons to get to where you did before. Perhaps the only thing better is the betting slip on the right hand side.
Also a lot of information is now missing. For example the times when the TAB updated certain odds.
Personally I think (and I have seen many others agree) that the new website is not very good. Bring back the older one, which is far easier to navigate, and you also don’t need a new device to do this.
