Horseplayers and Soccer 6 fans can now use their cell phones to bet online with TAB.

TAB, in conjunction with Smartcall Technologies, has developed a unique WAP application that allows WAP enabled cell phones to be utilised for online betting.

Until now the drawback with online betting has been that you need a PC or laptop, which is not always readily available. The new WAP application effectively transforms your cell phone into a PC or laptop for the purposes of betting online with TAB. You can bet and access results and payouts virtually anywhere, anytime – even while you are in a meeting.

The first step towards activating online betting through your cell phone is to enter www.tabsa.mobi on your cell phone web browser.

Or just sms tab to 31744 (cost 50c). You will receive a user-friendly sms with a link and an explanation. Simply click on the link to launch online betting on your phone. If you fail to connect, call *120*0440# and follow the instructions. It is recommended that you save *120*0440# to your contacts for future use.

Alternatively, call 071 200 9104 during office hours for assistance.

Existing TAB telephone betting customers must obtain an online pin number before they can utilise their accounts for online and mobile betting. Online pins can be activated at www.tabonline.co.za or call 0861 111 822.

If you do not have an existing online or phone account with TAB, you must obtain one before you can utilise the new WAP application. Get an online account at www.tabonline.co.za or call 0861 111 822.
