ON Tuesday 3 September all Gold Circle TAB accounts in the Western Cape will be transferred to Phumelela TAB.

This follows the final approval from the Western Cape Gambling Board for Phumelela to manage horseracing and betting in the region on behalf of Kenilworth Racecourse.

The move will result in certain changes to every account.

*From 3 September all account numbers will be increased to six digits starting with a “5”. Zeros will be added after the 5 where necessary to lengthen the number. For example, account No 1234 will now become account No 501234.

This will enable all account holders to continue to bet as normal.

*Pin numbers will remain unchanged but account holders are advised to change their internet pin numbers from 3 September.

*Telebet clients must call 0861 000 822 to bet – NB: the existing Western Cape number will be terminated from 3 September.

*Banking details for deposits will change on 3 September. See www.tabonline.co.za or call Western Cape Customer Care on 0861 111 822 for details.
