MyOzChase LAUNCH
The OzChase Joint Venture’s new Greyhound Racing Online Portal, MyOzChase, will be going live next Monday, 22 May 2017. WA will be the pilot State to commence using the MyOzChase system, with additional OzChase States going live on the system each week.
MyOzChase will provide an easy way for participants in the Greyhound Racing Industry to perform transactions online that previously had to be completed manually and via paper-based Forms. The portal will also improve communications between participants and Greyhound Racing Controlling Bodies. The MyOzChase website is not only designed for use on PC’s and laptops, but also compatible with most versions of Android and iOS mobile devices, tablets and iPads, thus supporting industry interaction on-the-go.
Only those participants with a unique email address will be able to access the MyOzChase system, hence any participants currently sharing an email address must obtain and supply a unique one to become involved. RWWA staff have already been in contact with participants in this situation about this restriction.
Further details and a User Guide will be sent via email to all currently licensed participants (with unique email addresses only) next Monday morning. Please monitor your email for this information which will enable you to commence using the system.
Out and about with GAP:
