WAP Announcement - August 2024
Greyhound Racing SA advises that no Wagering Activity Payment (WAP) will be made for August 2024.
As participants are aware, the WAP calculation is based on the net wagering revenue generated each period. Although Net Wagering Revenue for August 2024 was in line with the same month from the previous financial year, due to prizemoney increases the total payments to participants exceeded the 50% WAP benchmark return and thus no payment will be made for August 2024.
The WAP calculation for the month is as follows:
