TAB Module Overview

TAB Module Overview, Glossary, Best Practices

The TAB module in Wirely allows venues to manage daily and weekly TAB reconciliations. It tracks nightly counts, Electronic Betting Terminals (EBTs), floats, and accumulated banking for weekly visibility. This guide is written for general users with access to the module based on their role permissions.

Overview

The TAB module is designed to:

  • Record Nightly TAB Counts at the end of each shift.

  • Track EBT collections separately from terminal cash.

  • Perform weekly reconciliations using the Daily Rec Report and Agent Fee Report.

  • Monitor accumulated banking across the week.

The two-stage process ensures accurate reporting even when official TAB files are only available the following morning.

Glossary of Terms

  • Float – Starting cash placed in each TAB terminal at the beginning of a shift.

  • Operator Balance – Balance printed by the TAB terminal at the end of the shift.

  • Variance – Difference between terminal cash and theoretical figures.

  • EBT (Electronic Betting Terminal) – Self-service betting kiosks where patrons place bets.

  • Nightly TAB Counts – Manual entry of float, cash, and EBT totals at the end of the day.

  • Daily Rec Report – Official TAB report containing sales, pays, and imbalance to cash.

  • Agent Fee Report (Full Fee Report) – Weekly report showing commissions minus charges for journals.

  • Accumulated Banking – Running total of daily TAB balances across the week.

Best Practices

  • Complete Nightly TAB Counts daily to avoid large variances.

  • Enter EBT totals separately from terminal cash.

  • Upload the Daily Rec Report promptly for reconciliation.

  • Confirm Settlement Due + Agent Fee matches accumulated banking on Sundays.

  • Use variance displays to monitor errors early.

  • Verify floats are configured correctly during venue setup.

Contact your Wirely System Admin If:

  • Daily Rec Reports or Agent Fee Reports fail to upload.

  • Nightly TAB Counts do not carry into weekly reconciliation.

  • Variances appear incorrect.

  • EBT or float entries are inconsistent.

  • Role permissions prevent access to the module.
