Apply For A Fraser Downs Account Wagering Card

AutoTab is…

A convenient way to wager at the racetrack or when you can't be there in person.  With an account you may place wagers up to the amount of your account balance.  Winnings will be credited to your account immediately when a wager is a winner.

AutoTAB Accounts may be opened…

By completing an application either in person or by mail.  No minimum deposit is required to open an account.  Proof that you are at least 19 years of age and a resident of B.C. is required (i.e. a driver’s license or other suitable photo I.D.).  Accounts may be opened with cash, Visa or Interac if in person, or with a money order or bank draft payable to the association you are applying to if opened by mail.  The associations are Orangeville Raceway Ltd, (Fraser Downs), Pacific Racing Association, and TBC Teletheatre.

Account Wagering (AutoTAB) on-course is...

A way to make all your wagers on races through any self-serve terminal in the province.  You can review any of your wagers or cancel any incorrect wagers directly on screen.  Your Account Card accesses your account, and your four digit PIN allows you to bet, or withdraw winnings by voucher.  You can deposit money to your account anytime or anywhere by cashing vouchers or winning tickets into your account.
 
WHERE A DISAGREEMENT ARISES WITH RESPECT TO THE CORRECTNESS OF A BET, THE RECORDED BET TRANSACTION DATA RESTATED BACK TO THE AutoTAB ACCOUNT HOLDER BY THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM (or operator) AND AS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE TELEPHONE ACCOUNT HOLDER AS CORRECT SHALL BE CONSIDERED THE BET.
