If you are searching for the best betting sites in New Zealand, the comparison you came for is shorter than you expect — and the reasons it is short change what every other answer on this page is worth reading. Since an amendment to the Racing Industry Act 2020 took effect on 28 June 2025, TAB NZ and its online sister brand Betcha are the only operators allowed to take online sports and racing bets in New Zealand. The Department of Internal Affairs told unlicensed providers to withdraw with immediate effect. Every offshore bookmaker reviewed below is, by definition, on the wrong side of that line for a New Zealand customer. The market is not “ten bookmakers ranked.” It is one lawful duopoly, ten offshore alternatives that cannot serve New Zealand residents lawfully, and the consequences that follow for every choice in between.

The angle of this guide is consequence. Each section closes with what a number, a rule or an offer actually does — to your bankroll, your recourse if something goes wrong, and the bets you can place at all.

Currency stamp: data current as of 27 October 2026, checked against the Department of Internal Affairs register, the Racing Industry Act 2020 and the operator terms as published. Market figures and odds age quickly; specific prices are printed only with their snapshot date.

The state of the field: what the New Zealand market actually looks like

Two brands, one operator group, and a partner that runs both

TAB and Betcha are not rivals. They are the two online brands of TAB New Zealand, the only operator lawfully offering racing and sports betting to people in New Zealand under section 74AAA of the Racing Industry Act 2020. There is no licence to apply for and no licence register for bookmakers, because there is only one lawful provider to be registered. A punter who treats Betcha as “the challenger app” is reading a brand, not a market.

The business side is run by Entain under a 25-year agreement signed in 2023. At least $150m a year goes to TAB NZ for the first five years, Entain keeps a 50/50 share of gross profits, and Entain pledged a one-off $100m payment to the racing sector. That commercial shape is what the two apps you can download are built on — and it explains why some features (trackside streaming, form tools, a same-game multi product) appear first on the TAB side, where the racing customer base lives.

Ten offshore brands a New Zealand punter will meet, and the legal shape they actually have

The other names in this guide are listed because New Zealand players encounter them through affiliates, esports streams and search results. None of them is licensed in New Zealand. Each names a Curaçao or Anjouan licence, held by an entity that has no right to take bets from a person in New Zealand. That distinction matters for two reasons that the marketing never spells out.

First, the New Zealand complaints framework does not reach them. The Department of Internal Affairs can warn, and has warned, providers serving New Zealand to withdraw; a punt dispute is the customer’s problem and the licence holder’s home regulator’s problem. Second, DIA’s published warnings include that offshore operators may operate in jurisdictions with minimal consumer safeguards, may not return unspent credits and may not pay out large wins. None of that is editorialising — it is the regulator stating the risks it has observed.

What changes on 1 August 2026 — and after

Greyhound racing in New Zealand is closing in stages from 1 August 2026, and from that date even an offshore operator cannot lawfully take bets on greyhound races from a person in New Zealand. The Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 licensed online casino gambling only and does not change the betting monopoly. TAB New Zealand may apply for a casino licence under that law, but a casino permit does not let it take sports bets from a new entrant and does not let a new entrant take sports bets at all.

Lawful New Zealand bookmakers: TAB and Betcha, side by side

Two reminders travel with the table. Every cell in the right-hand column reflects what the operators’ own listings publish; a fuller picture of the betting menu — exact market counts, in-play depth, esports coverage — is checked in the apps themselves before staking. And the two brands are not a comparison to be “won”: they are the same operator under two skins, with TAB weighted toward racing and Betcha weighted toward a sports and esports mix.

What changes for the punter when the field is two

What TAB and Betcha can do that no offshore brand lawfully can

Open an account. Verify a New Zealand address and ID. Place a Win, Place, Each-Way, Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta, First4, Double, Treble, Daily Double, Running Double, Quaddie or Big6 bet on a New Zealand or Australian race, or a same-game multi on an All Blacks match, with a dividend that Inland Revenue treats as prize money not generally taxable for a recreational player. Set a deposit limit, take a time-out, or self-exclude across both brands with one action. Escalate a complaint to the Department of Internal Affairs.

What no offshore brand can lawfully deliver to a New Zealand customer, regardless of the quality of its app

The marketing page can describe all of it. The lawful delivery cannot. The brand on the screen may hold a Curaçao or Anjouan licence under a fully different regulator, with a fully different dispute procedure, and zero exposure to the New Zealand harm-minimisation framework. A winning bet on the All Blacks with a Curaçao-licensed operator is, in New Zealand law, a bet placed with an operator that has been told to withdraw. That does not mean the operator will not pay. It means the operator’s promise to pay has no New Zealand backstop.

What actually happens to a player who bets offshore

Section 19(4) of the Gambling Act 2003, inserted in 2025, says an individual may not be convicted for placing a bet with an offshore betting operator in breach of section 74AAA. No source states a penalty for a player. The law targets the operator: the punishment is on the brand, not on you. The practical cost is the absence of the local framework — no deposit limit enforceable through a regulator, no complaints route that ends at DIA, no problem-gambling levy funding the Gambling Helpline on your behalf, no guarantee that unspent credits come back if the licence holder enters administration.

Responsible gambling in a closed market

Safer-gambling tools that ride on a single operator

When only one operator group serves a country, the safer-gambling tools that exist are the ones that operator ships. TAB NZ lists deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion in its apps; an exclusion applies across both TAB and Betcha. There is no single national online-betting exclusion register — the register the casino law will require is for online casinos only. A punter who self-excludes from TAB and Betcha has closed the lawful market, full stop. A punter who wanders into an offshore brand has closed nothing.

The funding line that does not exist offshore

TAB NZ pays a Problem Gambling Levy of 0.74%, in force from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028. That levy funds the Gambling Helpline, research and treatment. The offshore brands operate outside that levy, outside that treatment funding, and outside the Helpline’s referral pathway. The free Gambling Helpline (0800 654 655, text 8006) and Safer Gambling Aotearoa remain available regardless of where the bet is placed; what changes is whether the operator is part of the same harm-minimisation system.

Age, ID and the floor of the lawful experience

The age for TAB NZ betting is 18. Betting under 18 is an offence under section 89 of the Racing Industry Act 2020. Land-based casinos are 20 — never merge the two. TAB NZ accounts need a verified New Zealand address and ID. The TAB app carries a 17+ App Store age rating because the app itself is broadly usable, while the terms state 18 or over to bet. The verification step is what makes the law enforceable in practice; the rating is the store’s age gate, not TAB’s.

Crypto, anonymity and the offshore brand promise

What “no ID verification” actually buys a New Zealand punter

Search results are full of crypto sportsbooks, Bitcoin esports books and Ripple sportsbooks. None of them changes the New Zealand legal position. A wallet address is not identity; an address sitting in a Curaçao-licensed operator’s database still places the bet with an operator the Department of Internal Affairs has told to withdraw. The “no KYC” pitch is a marketing line built around payment onboarding, not around the bet’s lawful status in the country the punter actually lives in.

The leverage a Curaçao or Anjouan licence has over a New Zealand player

Most of the offshore brands below name a Curaçao licence (8048/JAZ, OGL/2024/677/0722) or an Anjouan licence. Both regimes issue remote gambling licences to companies incorporated in their jurisdictions and operate a sub-licence to white-label sportsbooks. The licence gives the operator a right to take bets from customers in jurisdictions that allow it. New Zealand does not. The complaint route for a New Zealand player is to the licence holder’s regulator — a thousand words of small-print dispute procedure that ends in a jurisdiction the player has never set foot in.

What a punter actually loses by going crypto-only offshore

Three things. The deposit limit and self-exclusion that operate at TAB NZ: gone. The Problem Gambling Levy contribution that funds the Helpline on your behalf: gone. The recourse to a New Zealand regulator if a payout stalls or a bonus term is enforced in a way you did not expect: gone. In their place, a wallet-to-wallet transfer and a ticket to a helpdesk in another time zone. None of that is editorialising — it is the shape of the offer once you strip the marketing.

Payments, banking and the speed of getting paid

The payment methods TAB NZ actually takes

TAB NZ’s deposit and withdrawal methods are operator-level and come from its terms — there is no statutory payment rule for New Zealand betting accounts. Card, bank transfer and the operator’s own wallet are the usual options, with limits set in the app. No payment-blocking order or bank obligation was found, so nothing prevents an offshore brand from accepting a New Zealand-issued card for a bet the operator has been told to decline. The card issuer, not the regulator, is the only friction point.

Why “fast payout” is a weak differentiator in this market

Most offshore brands advertise “instant withdrawals” or “payouts in 24 hours” — and the marketing holds, modulo the small print. The reader-relevant question in New Zealand is whether the payout is enforceable against an operator that has no local backstop. A 30-minute payout from a Curaçao-licensed brand that has been told to withdraw from New Zealand is not the same product as a same-day withdrawal from TAB NZ, even if both clear quickly on a Tuesday afternoon.

The bank-block question

No bank obligation or card-issuer rule against betting transactions at offshore operators was found. The tax side is clearer: on the player side, recreational gambling winnings are generally not taxable in New Zealand and prize money from TAB horse, dog and trotting races is not taxable. A punter who bets as a business is a different case. Operator side: TAB pays the Problem Gambling Levy, offshore operators supplying New Zealand residents pay online gambling duty (12% of profits since 1 July 2024, 16% from 1 January 2027). A duty being payable does not make the offer lawful — that is the trap a careful reader does not fall into.

Predictions, tipsters and the “smart money” pitch

What a tipster can and cannot give a New Zealand punter

Tip sites and cricket-betting-tips sites publish selections with reasoning. The reasoning is the part worth reading; the tip is the part that ages. None of them changes the legality of the bet. None of them improves a New Zealand punter’s recourse if the operator does not pay. A subscription to a tipster on top of an offshore account does not turn the account into a lawful one.

Bankroll management as the only edge a punter fully owns

The arithmetic a punter controls is the bankroll. The stake size as a percentage of bank, the number of legs in a multi, the maximum exposure per day and the deposit limit set inside the TAB or Betcha app — those are inputs the punter chooses. The selection is the input the tipster sells. Separating the two is the difference between a betting practice and a subscription.

Why the data side of prediction is mostly noise at this scope

A New Zealand punter has two ways to add information to a bet: more markets (in-play, same-game multi, player props) or better markets (closing line, line movement). The first is operator-controlled; the second is sharps-vs-square territory that the offshore brands have largely closed by banning or limiting winners. The end state for a small-stake recreational punter is that the tipster’s edge and the operator’s data advantage cancel out, and what remains is the margin the operator always keeps.

Bet types, odds and what a price actually says

The core bet types a New Zealand punter will meet

TAB NZ’s published rules cover the racing menu (Win, Place, Each Way, Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta, First Four, Double, Treble, Daily Double, Running Double, Quaddie, Big6) and the sports menu (head-to-head, line betting and handicap, same-game multi). The offshore brands add tournament-specific markets — correct score, both teams to score, HT-FT, totals, double chance — and the kind of interval markets (1, 5, 10 and 15 minute ranges) you find on a sport-by-sport basis. Nothing about that menu depends on the licence; everything about its enforceability does.

How to read a price and what the bookmaker’s margin looks like

The price on a market is one side of how the operator earns. Every market has a margin built into it — the share of every dollar bet that the operator keeps. The textbook example is the simplest two-way market, where each side is priced at decimal odds 1.90 against 1.90. The arithmetic: 1 ÷ (1/1.90 + 1/1.90) = 1 ÷ (0.5263 + 0.5263) ≈ 1 ÷ 1.0526 ≈ 0.9500. The operator pays out about 95 cents of every dollar bet across both outcomes; the remaining 5 cents is the margin — sometimes called the overround, sometimes called the juice. Anything in single figures is a competitive market for two-way sports. Three-way markets (1X2 in football, win-place-show in racing with the tote, moneyline with the draw) carry a higher margin because the operator must build in a third outcome; esports and novelty markets sit higher again.

Practical reading: if both sides of a two-way market price at 1.90, the operator keeps around 5% on average across all bets. If both sides price at 1.85, the operator keeps around 8%. The margin is a band on real markets — race-by-race, fixture-by-fixture, market-by-market — and the lowest margins on a sportsbook are usually the headline prices on the most bet events, not the prices you’ll actually stake.

Same-game multis and how the legs multiply

A multi combines legs across one event or several. The odds of the legs multiply into one price: two legs at 1.50 and 1.80 become a 2.70 multi, before the operator’s margin on each leg compounds. The compounding is what makes a multi feel generous — a 2.70 line on two short-priced favourites is impossible in a single market — and what makes a multi expensive over time, because each leg carries its own overround and the per-leg margin is paid on the full stake, not on a fraction of it.

In-play, boosted odds and the “best odds” claim

The bigger the in-play menu, the more markets the operator can quote at lower confidence — and the wider the margin runs on the markets it does not expect to be benchmarked. Boosted odds on a same-game multi start from a price the operator built a margin into; the boost is usually a fraction of that margin rather than a free upgrade. The “best odds guaranteed” promise attached to horse racing in some markets is a concession on a specific market — the starting price — and is not a global price floor.

Sports and tournaments a New Zealand punter can bet on

Racing — the heartland of the New Zealand market

Thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing are the codes that built TAB NZ, and the racing menu is where the lawful operator’s depth is real. The domestic calendar (Cup Day, the Melbourne Cup build-up, Premier meetings at Ellerslie, Trentham, Riccarton, Te Rapa, Awapuni) sits alongside Australian and international racing. Greyhound racing closes in stages from 1 August 2026 — a structural shift for a code that ran on TAB and its predecessor for decades.

Rugby, league and the codes Kiwis follow

The All Blacks, Super Rugby Pacific, NPC and the international tests are the rugby spine. NRL sits one tier below in audience terms but draws the heaviest betting volume of any single competition outside racing. Rugby league’s season calendar turns the betting market on the same weekly rhythm a Super Rugby fan recognises.

Football, basketball, MMA, cricket and the broader menu

Football carries the deepest market depth in the world, but the New Zealand-relevant volume sits on the A-League, the OFC Champions League, the English Premier League and the Champions League. Basketball runs through the NBA for most Kiwis, with the Breakers as the local reference. Cricket’s Black Caps schedule (and the domestic Ford Trophy) is read alongside the IPL, the Ashes and the World Cup. MMA and UFC cards sit on most sportsbooks’ rotating weekly menu.

Esports, virtuals and what is and is not “sports betting”

CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2 and Valorant are the staples of an esports-first book. The MENU under the menu — virtual sports, which are computer-simulated — is treated by the 2026 online casino law as casino gambling rather than as sports betting. Whether esports betting itself is “sports betting” under the Racing Industry Act is not established — a line worth noting for any punter betting on a CS2 grand final with an offshore brand and wondering which set of rules applies.

Reviewed bookmakers — TAB, Betcha and the offshore comparison

What follows is the operator-by-operator review. The two TAB NZ brands are reviewed first because they are the only lawful option. The eight offshore brands are reviewed for the features a New Zealand punter will encounter, never as a recommendation to sign up. No action is implied by being listed here. The verdict at the end of each block is the page’s own judgement — of who this product is for, in what circumstances, and at what cost.

TAB — the lawful racing-and-sports bookmaker

TAB is one of two online brands of TAB New Zealand, the only provider lawfully offering racing and sports betting to people in New Zealand. There is no other lawful online bookmaker. The app, published under the seller name New Zealand Racing Board and first released on 8 September 2014, runs the racing and sports menu plus safer-gambling tools (deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion) and lists the Gambling Helpline 0800 654 655 with a text line at 8006.

On the racing side, TAB covers horse, harness and (until 1 August 2026) greyhound. The racing form, Blackbook and Jockey Challenge tools inside the app, plus the in-app Trackside live race streaming with same-screen betting, are what differentiate a TAB account from any other product a New Zealand punter can lawfully open. The sports menu takes rugby union and rugby league, football, cricket, basketball, MMA and the standard set of US leagues (NBA, NFL), with pre-match and live betting.

A practical verdict: TAB is for the punter who wants to bet on a New Zealand race with a New Zealand-licensed operator, who wants the recourse of a complaint to the Department of Internal Affairs if something goes wrong, and who accepts a sportsbook menu narrower than what the offshore brands run. The Entain partnership lifts the in-app experience over what a small monopoly operator typically offers, and the dividend structure on racing is the deepest available lawfully. The cost is the absence of choice: there is no TAB alternative to compare TAB against.

Betcha — the second TAB NZ brand, with an esports tilt

Betcha is the second of the two online brands of TAB NZ, published by Entain New Zealand Limited and first released on 6 August 2024. The product is built around a slightly different mix — rugby, NRL, MMA/UFC, NBA, NFL, tennis, cricket, football, motorsports and esports — with horse, greyhound and harness racing also covered. The brand position is sports and esports rather than the racing-heavy TAB app.

The safer-gambling tools and the New Zealand licence travel with the brand: an exclusion applied via Betcha applies across TAB and vice versa. The racing menu is lighter than TAB’s and the form tools and Trackside streaming are the TAB app’s — so a Betcha-only punter misses the deepest racing features.

A practical verdict: Betcha is for the punter who bets mainly on rugby league, MMA and esports, and who wants the lighter, more sports-first app surface in the lawful New Zealand market. Where it loses to TAB is on racing depth; where it wins is on a modern UX designed for a sports-first audience. It is not a “challenger” — it is the same operator under a second skin, and the upside of choosing one over the other is mostly the menu fit.

Thunderpick — esports-first, Curaçao-licensed, not for New Zealand residents

. The brand is unlicensed in New Zealand.

The marketing sells the esports depth and a cash-out feature on selected markets. The product delivers what it says in jurisdictions where the licence applies.

A practical verdict: for a New Zealand punter, the product is reachable as an account but not lawful as a bet. The esports depth is real; the recourse if a payout stalls is the Curaçao regulator’s procedure, not the Department of Internal Affairs’. The trade-off between an esports-first offshore book and a New Zealand-licensed TAB or Betcha app is uneven by design: the breadth is bigger, the safety net is gone.

22Bet — broad menu, Curaçao licence, no New Zealand standing

. TechSolutions Group N.V. holds no New Zealand licence.

The menu depth, including a Live and Multi-LIVE feed, is genuinely wider than TAB NZ’s football menu. The odds print in many formats, including decimal. The product delivers what it says in jurisdictions where the licence applies.

A practical verdict: the breadth is the headline advantage — for a punter who wants dozens of player and interval markets on a single Champions League fixture, the menu runs ahead of TAB’s. The cost is the absence of a New Zealand regulator behind the bet. The 30-market claim is verifiable in the sportsbook’s own line page; the lawful status is verifiable at the Department of Internal Affairs, and the two checks do not line up.

Sportaza — cash out and Bet Builder, Anjouan licence, no New Zealand standing

. It lacks a licence to operate in New Zealand.

The bet-builder product is the real differentiator for a punter who builds accumulators across one fixture — the void-one-leg-void-all rule is a clear term to read before staking. Asian lines and 15-minute intervals target the live bettor.

A practical verdict: for a New Zealand punter who bets in-play on football with Asian lines and 15-minute markets, the product depth is real. The licence regime is Anjouan, the recourse is local, and the lawful position in New Zealand is unchanged.

RTbet — mainstream menu, Curaçao licence, no New Zealand standing

. Unlicensed here.

The menu is conventional across the mainstream codes — rugby is the conspicuous absence compared to the New Zealand punter’s typical diet, which is where TAB and Betcha’s code coverage outpoints an offshore product that lists more American sports.

A practical verdict: the product delivers what a Curaçao-licensed mainstream sportsbook delivers in any market where it is licensed. The trade-off versus a New Zealand-licensed product is the losing side for a rugby-first punter and the winning side for a punter after niche US leagues. The lawful position is the constant.

BillyBets — sportsbook plus coin shop, Curaçao licence, no New Zealand standing

. No New Zealand licence.

The coin shop and the VIP ladder sit on top of a mid-range mainstream sportsbook. The product works as it says where it is licensed.

A practical verdict: for a punter who likes a loyalty mechanic layered on top of a sportsbook, the offer is more interesting than a flat mainstream book; for a New Zealand punter, the marketing and the mechanics do not change the lawful status. Free bets and free spins carry their own turnover and game-weighting; the Sports section’s cashback and reload are described qualitatively and the wagering terms travel with the offer, not with the country.

BigClash — sportsbook plus virtuals, Curaçao licence, no New Zealand standing

. The brand operates without a New Zealand licence.

The framing — pre-match, live, virtuals, esports — covers most of what a sportsbook-curious punter looks for. The breadth is the pitch.

A practical verdict: the product delivers a standard Curaçao-licensed mainstream sportsbook offer. The lawful position in New Zealand is unchanged. A punter who values local recourse over the marketing surface bets with TAB or Betcha; a punter who values the breadth over the recourse is making a trade-off the page does not endorse.

BetAlright — mainstream sports menu, no licence that applies in New Zealand

. Unauthorised here.

A practical verdict: the menu sits in the same band as RTbet and BigClash. The trade-off versus TAB or Betcha is the same: betting menu versus lawful standing.

Glorion — pre-match, live, virtuals and entertainment-event markets, no licence that applies in New Zealand

. Lacks a valid New Zealand licence.

The entertainment-events menu — award shows and elections — is the differentiator against the standard mainstream sportsbook.

A practical verdict: entertainment-event markets are a feature, not a substitute for a licence. The lawful position is unchanged. A punter who wants to bet on an election night or an awards ceremony from New Zealand does so at TAB or Betcha only, where the market is offered if it is offered at all.

The closing line on the comparison

The headline that “New Zealand has ten top betting sites” ages into the truth before the page goes live. The New Zealand market has two lawful brands in one operator group; everything else is an offshore bookmaker that has been told to withdraw from New Zealand and continues to serve Kiwi customers through search results and affiliates. The right comparison for a New Zealand punter is not TAB vs offshore. It is lawful, with full recourse, with harm-minimisation, vs broader, with no local backstop, with every risk DIA enumerates.

A punter who values breadth over local recourse has read this page and made the trade-off. A punter who values recourse and the harm-minimisation framework stays inside TAB and Betcha. Either way, the choice is informed, and the marketing word that began this page — “best” — gives way to a sharper question: best at what?

Frequently asked questions

Which bookmaker may lawfully take sports and racing bets in New Zealand?

TAB NZ and its online sister brand Betcha are the only operators allowed to take online sports and racing bets in New Zealand since an amendment to the Racing Industry Act 2020 (section 74AAA) took effect on 28 June 2025. The Department of Internal Affairs told unlicensed providers to withdraw with immediate effect. The two are one operator group run by Entain — not rivals, and not alternatives to each other in the structural sense, only in the product sense.

How is the return on a bet worked out from the stake and the odds?

Return is stake multiplied by the decimal odds. Net profit, which is the return minus the stake staked, is stake multiplied by (odds minus 1). For a $10 single bet at odds 2.10, the return is $21.00 and the profit is $11.00. For a combination bet, the odds of the legs multiply into one price — two legs at 1.50 and 1.80 become a 2.70 multi — and the same formula applies to the multiplied price.

What is the bookmaker’s margin and how can it be seen in the odds?

The margin is the share of every dollar bet on a market the operator keeps on average. It is calculated by summing the implied probabilities (1 divided by each decimal odds), inverting the sum to a payout share and subtracting from one. On the textbook two-way market at 1.90 against 1.90, the implied probabilities sum to about 1.0526 — a payout share of about 0.9500 and a margin of about 5%. The margin appears in every market the operator quotes, and bigger markets or sharper events usually carry a smaller margin.

What does a player lose by betting with a bookmaker that has no New Zealand licence?

The loss is the local framework: the deposit limit and self-exclusion enforceable through a regulator, the recourse to the Department of Internal Affairs if a complaint stalls, the Problem Gambling Levy contribution that funds the Gambling Helpline, and the guarantee that an operator entering administration returns unspent credits. The Department of Internal Affairs warns that offshore operators may operate in jurisdictions with minimal consumer safeguards, may not return unspent credits and may not pay out large wins. Section 19(4) of the Gambling Act 2003 does not criminalise the player; the law targets the operator.

From what age can bets be placed with TAB NZ, and what is checked when opening an account?

The age for betting with TAB NZ is 18; betting under 18 is an offence under section 89 of the Racing Industry Act 2020. Land-based casinos in New Zealand are 20, and the two age floors do not merge. Opening a TAB or Betcha account requires a verified New Zealand address and ID, which is what makes the age rule enforceable in practice. The TAB app carries a 17+ App Store age rating because the app itself is broadly usable, while the terms state that customers must be 18 or over to bet.

Are betting winnings taxed in New Zealand?

Recreational gambling winnings are generally not taxable, and prize money from TAB horse, dog and trotting races is not taxable. A punter who bets as a business is a different case and is advised to consult Inland Revenue or an accountant. On the operator side, TAB NZ pays the Problem Gambling Levy, offshore operators supplying New Zealand residents pay online gambling duty, and the point-of-consumption charge on offshore racing and sports bets ceased on 30 June 2026. None of this is tax advice.
