Bet365 NZ 🇳🇿

After going online in 2000, Bet365 has become the leading name in the world of online sportsbooks. With their headquarters in the UK, Bet365 also has offices in Australia, Gibraltar, Malta and Bulgaria.

In our professional opinion, Bet365 is the best bookie for Kiwi punters.

This is due to their outstanding odds, their unparalleled range of sports markets, their awesome welcome bonus, and their commitment to customer support and responsible gambling.

• Live betting and live streaming options are unmatched

Why we don’t like Bet365 ❌

• Bet365’s deposit and withdrawal methods are limited but enough
• The Bet365 desktop site is a little busy

Bet365 Bonuses

We love Bet365’s welcome bonus but they also have heaps of bonus offers for popular sports and leagues in NZ and around the world.

One popular bonus is the Early Payout Offer which is available for leagues like the AFL, NRL and Super Rugby.

Early payouts are paid for single bets when the team you backed is up by a lot.

Bet365 Promotions

Horse racing and Greyhound punters are also treated to a Best Odds Guarantee with Bet365 so there’s no need to shop around or just stick with the TAB.

Football fans betting on the EPL, Champions League or Europa league will also love Bet365’s Full-Time Result offers that payout enhanced prices. Other soccer bonuses available on Bet365 include Draw Money-Back Offers and 2 Goals Ahead early payouts.

Bet 365 also offers special bets which include NZ political wagers, bets on USA hotdog eating competitions and even odds for the winners of reality TV shows like Britain’s Got Talent.

Bet365 is one of the weaker bookies when it comes to withdrawal and deposit options. Despite this, New Zealanders still have plenty of payment options including the quickest and easiest payment types - all of which are in NZ dollars.

All the details you need to complete this process are provided online but we have also outlined them below.

One of the things that we, and thousands of other Kiwis, love about Bet365 is their comprehensive NZ sporting odds.

Bet365 Rugby Betting 🏉

• From Super Rugby betting to the Mitre 10 Cup all the way through AFL, NRL, Sevens and of course All Blacks and Kiwis test matches, rugby and footy are covered by Bet365. Handicaps, try scorers, margins and specials are just some of the options Kiwi punters have.

Bet365 Cricket Betting 🏏

• Cricket, both domestic NZ and worldwide leagues, along with international tournaments and competitions like the ICC World cup are all easy to find under the Cricket tab on Bet365. You’ll find a multitude of live betting options on Bet365 cricket and of course, live streaming options that make cricket betting exciting and easy.

Bet365 Horse Racing Betting 🏇

• Punters in Aotearoa will also be pleased to see that Bet365 offers a Best Price Guarantee on horse and greyhound racing events abroad. NZ racing fields are also covered extensively on Bet365.

Bet365 Football Betting ️⚽️

• Being a UK based website, Bet365 has extensive European and global football coverage and football offers to take advantage of. Bet365 is probably the best football betting website available for Kiwis.

More Bet365 Sports Betting 🎯🚴️⛳️🏉🎱

• Bet365 also offers markets in Esports, Darts, Cycling, Golf, Futsal and pretty much any other sport that you could think of including all the big USA leagues like the NHL, MLB, NBA and NFL.

Bet365 Live Betting

Bet365’s live betting is top-notch.

Under the ‘In-Play’ tab at the top of the Bet365 site, you will find all live and soon-to-be-played sports. Bet365 live streams thousands of events every year and is great for Kiwis whose access to global sports can be somewhat limited.

To access Bet365 live streaming you will need to have available funds in your account but compared to the cost of a SkySport subscription this cost is negligible.

You will find all live-streaming options under the ‘Schedule’ tab of the In-Play section of Bet365. Some of the sports that are live-streamed on Bet365 are soccer, tennis, basketball, Esports, greyhounds and horse racing.

Bet365 sign up and log in

Signing up to use Bet365 takes a couple of minutes and you only need to enter basic details about yourself such as your DOB and postal address.

Once you have signed up you will also receive a welcome message outlining how to get your $100 sign-up bonus. After signing up you can easily log in to Bet365 by entering your username and password.

Bet365 App

The Bet365 sports betting app is available on all Apple, Android and smart devices such as iPads and tablets. You can download it on the NZ App Store for Apple devices or on the Bet365 website for Android devices. We actually prefer using the Bet365 app because it has great navigation and is a little less busy than the desktop site.

Bet365 Customer Support and Live Chat

One of Bet365’s biggest pluses is their fantastic customer support options for Kiwis.

Simply click ‘Help’ in the account section of the Bet365 site and you will be redirected to Bet365’s FAQ page. This page is customized for New Zealanders and if you want to talk to one of Bet365’s 4,000 employees simply click ‘Contact Us’ at the bottom of the page and you will see options to live chat, email or call Bet365.

All of these support options provide 24/7 help.

Bet365 is a sportsbook first but a casino second. As such their new player bonus isn’t as competitive as some of the other online casinos out there but it is still a great option for Kiwis that are tired of Lotto tickets and Instant Kiwi scratchies.

Bet365's Casino Sign-Up Offer

The Bet365 new player bonus is 100% up to the value of $100. This means your first deposit will be matched up to $100.

More Bet365 Casino Bonuses

At the top of the Bet365 casino page, you will see an ‘Offers’ tab which details a variety of current offers available to NZ casino players. Common offers include Free Spins and Prize Draws and there is often a lot of money that must be won on these promotions.

Bet365 Slots

Bet365 slots are rich and diverse and can be played either on the computer or on the Bet365 app. Bet365 slots have guaranteed weekly jackpots and community jackpots which you can play anytime and they grow by the second. These prizes are awesome alternatives if you don’t want to wait for the weekly Powerball draw.

Bet365 Poker, Blackjack and More

The Bet365 casino also has all the best casino games. From poker and blackjack to baccarat and even sic bo. There are also plenty of live options available and even a welcome bonus for poker players. If bingo is more your style then you’ll also find heaps of bingo games under the ‘Bingo’ tab.
