From 2025, your only legal online sports betting options in New Zealand come with the local monopoly providers - both should offer early cash out at their discretion.

There are now just two legal New Zealand betting sites. In 2025, the federal government changed the gaming laws that previously allowed Kiwis to play at offshore sites. From mid-2025 onward, the only legal online sports betting destinations came at the monopoly holder’s sites: TAB NZ and Betcha.

At essentially the same time in 2025, the government laid out plans to create a market of local, legal NZ casino sites. The online casino vertical is the real attraction for most online gaming companies. So the world’s leading online gaming brands were more than happy to comply with the new laws, shuttering their sportsbooks to Kiwi players, because the new laws also allowed them to legally serve New Zealanders with their offshore online casinos until they could secure licenses within the new market set to open some time in 2026.
