Is it legal to bet with an overseas operator in New Zealand?
Yes. The Gambling Act 2003 does not prohibit wagering with foreign operators or offshore online betting sites for those 18 years or older. No individual has been charged with wagering with a foreign operator as no legislation exists banning it. A Kiwi punter is not breaking any law in betting with an overseas operator on sport, racing or casino games.
If I bet with an overseas gambling provider, am I breaking any law?
No. There is no legislation dealing with Kiwis betting with foreign wagering providers.
Why bet with an overseas operator?
Overseas operators offer significantly greater deposit matches, welcome bonuses and other bonuses and offers. This delivers significantly more value for each betting dollar to Kiwi Punter.
Is my money safe?
Yes. We would not recommend any foreign betting or casino site we were not 100% confident in. Every bookmaker or casino operator recommended on this site is used by the KiwiPunter’s team.
Is there any difference legally betting online with an overseas bookmaker on sport, racing or casinos?
No. With no legislation covering wagering with overseas operators, Kiwis can bet on horse racing, sports or with casinos without breaching any laws.
Are these signup offers available to anyone?
All Kiwis aged 18 or over without an account at a particular bookmaker are eligible for signup offers. We work hard to get these offers for Kiwi Punter. To receive these offers though you must signup by clicking the link on Kiwi Punter.com.
Do all bookmakers offer sports betting, horse racing betting and casino betting?
Not every bookmaker offers all three products but most do. Some are casino only. Some lack a depth of product with horse racing. Most though offer the lot. Check out our individual bookmaker and casino pages to see what each offers.
