The 25-year collaboration, which was announced in March, includes a total consideration payable by Entain and an ongoing gross profit share agreement.

Dean Shannon, CEO of Entain Australia, said the TAB NZ move will be a “game-changer” for sports betting in New Zealand.

He added that it will provide “significant financial benefits” to the three New Zealand racing codes and range of sporting organisations.
