Frequently Asked Questions
Currently, it is legal for New Zealanders to gamble on offshore gambling sites, but illegal to operate an online casino from within New Zealand. However, this is changing with the new regulations coming in February 2026, which will introduce a licensed system for online casinos operating in New Zealand.
The New Zealand government will auction off 15 online casino licenses, with each license valid for three years starting from February 2026. Both domestic and international operators can bid for these licenses.
Unlike existing gambling operations such as Lotto, the TAB, physical casinos, and pokies, online casino license holders will not be required to contribute to community grants. They will, however, need to pay GST, a 12% gambling duty, and the problem gambling levy.
Look for casinos with proper licensing from respected jurisdictions. After February 2026, you can look for those with an official New Zealand license. Other indicators of safety include SSL encryption, reputable game providers, clear terms and conditions, and positive reviews from independent sources like our websites.
