The New Zealand gambling scene is primarily land-based. There are six fantastic land-based casinos all across the country. Still, online gambling, horse race betting, and sports betting are legal in the country.

Lotto NZ and New Zealand Racing Board (TAB) are the only ways to gamble online in New Zealand that are controlled under New Zealand law. No New Zealand based companies are allowed to offer online 'casino' types of gambling like virtual poker or roulette.
