Or you can try a betting site licensed in Australia...

Mason Kelliher

Kiwis can sign up with and play at some Australian bookmakers. These betting sites can't advertise their sign up bonuses (because of Australian regulations) but many are better suited to Kiwi punters given their strong focus on racing, rugby and cricket.

Frequently Asked Questions aboutr NZ Betting Sites

It's hard to find and trust online bookmakers these days (unless of course you just stick TAB or Betcha). We try to keep it simple.

Is it legal to use international betting sites?

Yes, there is nothing in the The New Zealand Racing Industry Bill (2020) or the Gambling Act (2003) that prevents New Zealander players from using internationally owned and licensed bookmakers.

It is however illegal to own, operate or advertise an unlicensed licensed betting site from New Zealand.

Why don't you list TAB and Betcha?

Most punters who come to our site know about TAB and Betcha - we're trying to show Kiwi punters what other safe, legal online bookmakers they can use in New Zealand.

How can I trust online betting sites?

We have deposited, bet at, and withdrawn from every NZ betting site that we list. All of the bookmakers we list are also licensed in different countries that (unlike New Zealand) allow them to operate - for example Bet365 is licensed in Australia, Betway is licensed in the UK and LeoVegas is licensed in Sweden.

When bookmakers obtain a betting license they must, among other things, follow AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures and KYC (Know Your Customer) checks just like banks. They must also prevent underage gambling and keep customer data private. Therefore, it is important to use sites with good global reputations and that are licensed somewhere in the world.

How do you deposit and withdraw from betting sites in NZ?

Most of the bookmakers that we list accept Debit Card deposits and process withdrawals via Bank Transfer.

Several sites also offer alternative payment options like PayPal, Skrill, Apple Pay and even Crypto.

How do betting sign up bonuses work?

Each betting welcome bonus may have slightly different rules but generally you will need to sign up and then deposit (and bet) to qualify for a welcome bonus. Your bonus may be given as cash, or a free bet, then then needs to be wagered before your winning can be withdrawn.

The wagering requirement corresponds to the amount of times the bonus value needs to be re-bet before the bonus cash or free bet is withdrawable. Many sign up bonuses also have expiry time frames and minimum odds requirements.

For example, to claim a 100% up to $100 first deposit bonus with a 6x wagering and minimum odds requirement of 1.80 you would need to:

Deposit up to $100
Place bets worth $600 at minimum odds of 1.80 or higher
Withdraw any winnings

Why are there so few bookmakers that accept New Zealanders?

Only two bookmakers - TAB NZ and Betcha - are licensed by the NZ governemnt to offer sports betting from within New Zealand.

Even though there are no specific laws that prohibit offshore betting sites from accepting NZ players, most reputable international betting sites (like Bet365, Betway, LeoVegas etc.) have stopped offering their sportsbooks to New Zealand punters as they don't want to run afoul of NZ betting regulations - likely in the hope of obtaining a NZ betting licence at a later date.

Some internationally licensed bookmakers like 20BET, 22Bet and Rabona continue to offer sports betting to Kiwis online.

Which NZ betting sites have horse racing?

20BET, 22Bet, Rabona and Sportaza are all NZ beeting sites with horse racing markets.

Is Bet365 banned in New Zealand?

No, Bet365 is not banned in New Zealand and they still offer their online casino and virtual sports betting.

Bet365 stopped offering sports betting to New Zealanders in 2025 - probably to appease regulators if/when New Zealand opens up for offshore bookmakers to obtain a NZ betting licence (like in Australia).
