Bonuses & free bets
Offers are the loudest corner of betting and the quietest in New Zealand law. This section separates what legislation sets from what a provider’s terms set.
Sign-up offers, free bets, no-deposit bets and matched betting are all discussed, along with general promotions and the bonus bets TAB runs. The phrase free sports betting is treated as a marketing label.
For betting, the size of a bonus and the wagering attached to it are matters on which no New Zealand rule has been established. Licensed online casinos alone carry the NZ$100 and 200% ceiling. Behind each offshore offer stands a company that DIA describes as breaking the law.
