New Zealand plans up to 15 online gambling licences under proposed bill
New Zealand’s government plans to issue up to 15 online gambling licences through a competitive process under its proposed Online Gambling Bill, the Department of Internal Affairs said. The government has invited international operators to register interest, while public and industry feedback is expected during the Select Committee stage through mid-2025.
The proposed framework would establish a licensing route for operators seeking to enter New Zealand’s online gambling market.
