More on Ladbrokes NZ
Mason Kelliher

Mason Kelliher

Ladbrokes is one of the oldest bookies in the world which means that they are also one of the biggest and best bookies. Kiwis should feel confident that Ladbrokes is a safe, secure betting site.

Ladbrokes Racing

It's hard not to notice that Ladbrokes has a clear racing focus, but gallops, trotting and greyhound racing are the most popular betting markets for Kiwis so this definitely isn't a downside.

Ladbrokes has every NZ and Australian horse and greyhound racing field from the Auckland Cup to Wanganui race days. Odds for racing fields are very competitive, and often better than than the TAB's racing odds.

Ladbrokes Sports

If racing isn't your thing then don't worry, Ladbrokes also has extensive NRL, AFL and A-League odds as well as everything from domestic NZ cricket to the EPL, UFC, Esports and the Champions League.

Ladbrokes Payments

Ladbrokes.com.au is based in Australia and therefore only offers AUS to its customers.

New Zealanders are allowed to sign-up to Ladbrokes and your bank will automatically convert your New Zealand dollars to Australian dollars so apart from losing a little on the conversion this isn't really that bad.

Be aware that at Ladbrokes.com, New Zealanders can also create an account and here you can deposit and withdraw with New Zealand dollars.

However, we prefer the Australian site much more as the .com site which is UK focused and has no bonuses or promotional offers for Kiwis as well as more limited NZ sports betting markets.

Ladbrokes Live Betting

Ladbrokes' age, or as some might put it, experience, means that they haven't caught up with some of the newer NZ betting sites when it comes to live-betting.

Live-betting at Ladbrokes is done by phone and the phone number is Australian so keep this in mind if you want to place live bets. There are also no live-streaming options at Ladbrokes.

For the best live-betting and live-streaming betting sites NZ punters can use, check out Bet365's extensive live-betting markets.

Ladbrokes is one Australia's biggest corporate betting sites so we have a much more comprehensive review on the Australian version of My Betting Sites - select the button below to read our Ladbrokes Australia review (it's the same site)!

Ladbrokes NZ FAQ

🎁 What are the 3 Ladbrokes NZ sign-up offers?

Unfortunately, due to Australian betting regulations, we cannot display Ladbrokes bonuses on this website. Bonuses can only be displayed to punters after they have signed up and created accounts.

❓ Is Ladbrokes better than the TAB?

Yes, for almost every betting market Ladbrokes has better odds. Ladbrokes especially shines for racing fields and NZ and Australian sports markets so it's a great alternative betting site to the TAB NZ.

📱 Does Ladbrokes have a NZ app?

Yes. Like all the best NZ betting sites Ladbrokes has an Apple and Android app. The Apple app is available on the NZ app store but Google Play restricts betting apps from their store so the Android app can be downloaded directly from ladbrokes.com.au.

👍 Is Ladbrokes legal in New Zealand?

Yes. Ladbrokes is licensed in Australia and it is legal for New Zealanders to bet with offshore bookies like Ladbrokes. What is more, Ladbrokes has been in the betting game for over 120 years so Kiwis should feel extremely confident using Ladbrokes. Ladbrokes is as safe, reliable, secure and trustworthy as it gets.

🖥 What is the difference between ladbrokes.com.au and ladbrokes.com?

Ladbrokes.com.au is the Australian version of the Ladbrokes sportsbook. We recommend this site because it has more of a local focus to New Zealanders. The ladbrokes.com site is based in the UK and while New Zealanders can sign up, and use NZD on ladbrokes.com, there are no sign-up bonuses or ongoing promotions for New Zealand players.

🏇 Is Ladbrokes good for NZ racing bets?

There are not many online betting sites that offer better NZ, Australian and international gallops, trotting or greyhound racing odds and markets for NZ punters than Ladbrokes - so yes, Ladbrokes is a good choice for any Kiwi punter.

Ladbrokes NZ Customer Support

The Ladbrokes NZ customer support team is available 24/7 through their website's live chat function or via email or by phone.

After sending them a message in the mid-afternoon we got a response within two minutes and the bloke who helped us was very knowledgable and polite.

It's refreshing to see that Ladbrokes makes their customer support so easy to use and accessible, especially when some of the other NZ betting sites that we review make this process tougher.
