  • Contestants must be prepared to show their transaction history on request to competition judges for verification.
  • Bets may be made at all thoroughbred meetings that the TAB is taking bets on that day, provided the bet is resulted prior to or at the same time as the designated last race in the competition.

8. Progress Board
A leaderboard showing the top four balances will be updated regularly in the lounge. When asked, all contestants must provide the competition organisers with an accurate balance.
