Laws, tax & payments for Kiwis

Legal & tax

Playing at offshore casinos is lawful for Kiwis under the Gambling Act 2003 — and recreational winnings are completely tax-free.

From Q1 2027 the Department of Internal Affairs will license up to 15 domestic online casinos. Until then, we only list offshore operators licensed in Curaçao, Anjouan or Malta that pay Kiwis in NZD. Read our NZ gambling laws guide and tax guide.

Good to know

Kiwi FAQ

Is online gambling legal in New Zealand?
Yes, for players. The Gambling Act 2003 bans operating an online casino from within NZ, but does not penalise Kiwis who play at overseas-licensed sites. From Q1 2027 the DIA will license up to 15 domestic online casinos.
Do I pay tax on my winnings?
No. Recreational gambling winnings are tax-free for NZ residents — no income tax, no GST. Offshore operators pay a 12% duty on NZ profits since 1 July 2024, but that's their cost, not yours.
What's the best online casino in NZ right now?
Our current top three are Spinjo, Roby Casino and Neospin, based on NZD support, bonus value, game range and withdrawal speed. See the full ranked top 15.
Can I still deposit with POLi?
Mostly no — NZ banks now flag POLi-to-casino payments and most sites have dropped it. Use NZD bank transfer, Visa/Mastercard, Paysafecard, e-wallets or crypto instead.
Which payment methods work best for Kiwis in 2026?
Cryptocurrency (BTC/ETH/USDT) is fastest for withdrawals; Visa/Mastercard and Paysafecard are easiest for deposits; NZD bank transfer suits larger amounts. See our payments guide.
Are crypto casinos a good option?
For many Kiwis, yes — deposits rarely get declined, withdrawals clear in minutes, and you can buy in NZD via Easy Crypto or Swyftx. Many offer provably-fair games and no-KYC play.
