Phone Betting

With The TOTE's range of phone betting options, you need never miss an opportunity to be a winner.

Using your phone betting account, you can place your bet wherever you are in Tasmania for the cost of a local call. Bets can be placed right up to actual start time, using account numbers and security codes that make sure your transactions are secure and confidential. Winning dividends are automatically credited to your account.

What's more, you can choose the way you phone bet. Talk to one of our friendly and professional operators, or take advantage of our Touch Tone or Voice Activated services.

Either way, you will find it fast, easy and convenient. Exactly the way betting should be.

To use phone betting, you'll need an account number and a PIN (personal identification number).

To arrange this, simply complete an application form then visit your nearest TOTE outlet or Australia Post office.

After producing the required identification (similar to opening a bank account), and depositing a minimum of $20, you will be ready to start using your phone betting account from anywhere in Australia.
