Luxbet is an online betting company based in the Northern Territory, Australia. Luxbet is licensed by the Northern Territory Racing Commission and provides racing, sports and novelty betting options which encompass horse racing, harness racing, greyhound racing and feature racing, as well as American football, Australian rules football, baseball, rugby league, soccer matches and tennis. Luxbet offers betting options through telephone, internet and mobile applications.

Luxbet is a subsidiary of Tabcorp Holdings Limited, a public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Luxbet was founded and officially launched by Tabcorp in September 2008 and commenced operations on 1 October 2008.

Luxbet’s licence enables it to operate a racing and sports bookmaker business in the Northern Territory. This licence is due to be renewed in 2015.

History

Luxbet was launched by Tabcorp Holdings Limited as a complement to the gambling services already offered by the Tabcorp Group. Luxbet was positioned to offer gambling products that Tabcorp had been precluded from offering including betting on non-sport related events such as elections and entertainment.

In 2013, revenue generated by Luxbet exceeded $39 million which was up more than 40% from the previous year.

Luxbet’s success directly contributes to the support given to the racing industry by the Tabcorp group. In addition to the payment of taxes, race fields fees and product fees, Tabcorp also pays a share of Luxbet’s profits to each of the NSW and Victorian racing industries.

In 2015 Luxbet launched Luxbet Europe offering gambling services to the European market.
