Casinos in New Zealand: 2026 guide
None of the operators listed below holds a licence of this country — all of them work under foreign licences.
Regulation
In New Zealand local companies are barred from offering online casinos, but players themselves are not prohibited from using foreign sites, so the market long existed in a grey area. The authorities have announced the introduction of an online casino licensing system: a limited number of licences distributed by auction is planned, with requirements for responsible gambling, age verification and advertising. The land-based sector consists of a small number of casinos (SkyCity in Auckland and others) and widespread pub gaming machines, whose proceeds partly go to community causes. The currency is the New Zealand dollar; cards, bank transfers and e-wallets are popular. Recreational players' winnings are untaxed. Players should follow the launch of the new licensing system and choose regulated operators.
