The first meeting of the new panel will be scheduled in June.
MyOzChase LAUNCH
The first release of the OzChase Joint Venture’s new Greyhound Racing Online Portal, MyOzChase, is nearing its launch date. WA will be the pilot State to commence using the MyOzChase system and updates as to the timing of the launch will be provided in coming weeks.
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 that have a unique email address via 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 may 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) prior to the launch date.
