Casino gambling is for adults aged 18 and over. Operators may require age and identity checks, and licensed operators are subject to stricter verification requirements. Do not use an operator unless you meet its age and eligibility requirements and the activity is lawful for you.

New Zealand’s online casino rules are changing. Providers that have not applied for a licence must cease conducting online casino gambling in New Zealand by 1 December 2026. A provider whose licence application is declined must cease its online casino gambling operations in New Zealand and exit the market. Operators without a licence may face enforcement action and fines of up to NZ$5 million. Check current requirements and licensing information with the relevant authorities, including the Department of Internal Affairs and the Gambling Commission.
