The Legend of the Kiwis and the Betting Sites

Once upon a time, in the land of the long white cloud, where the people celebrate Christmas in the summer and wear jandals in the winter, there was only one sports betting company to choose from. The TAB.

The people of this land loved the TAB. They were thankful for its horse racing odds and punters lounge tips.

But then, slowly but surely, things started to change.

A wise old sage (like Gandalf or Richie McCaw but wiser) called MyBettingSites NZ launched to spread the word of new, better sports betting sites. These sites came from far away places with funny names like Malta, Gibraltar and Australia.

Despite the funny names, these betting sites offered the people of New Zealand better odds and sign-up bonuses than the TAB.

The people of this land (Kiwis as they came to be known), started to realise that the TAB was no longer the best NZ betting site out there.

Over time, and with the help of MyBettingSites, every man, woman and sheep from the land of chilly bins and hobbits was getting their bonus offers and great odds from only the top online bookmakers.

How we work

MyBettingSites.com is run by a small group of guys that is on a mission to give punters in New Zealand, and around the world, the best information about online betting and betting site bonuses.

We have captured a real-life Kiwi (pictured above) who is responsible for all of the content on this New Zealand specific site. We did that because we want everything you read to be as relevant and helpful as possible.

If you happen to have stumbled onto this page from another country then you can also find specific betting information for the countries listed below.

All of the content on this site is available for free but, like any business, we do need a way to make money. You can learn more about our business model here.

You should also know that all of the sports betting and online casino sites that we recommend are legal, trustworthy and safe for New Zealanders to use. In fact, we have used every bookie on this site ourselves.

If you do happen to run into any issues, or if we have made any mistakes, then please don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll get back to you right away!
