Online Betting – Sites New Zealand

Betclic

Betclic is one of the online gambling platforms that combines sports betting with casino games. By registering, you will be able to use your balance on both, although casino bonuses are not usable on bets (and vice versa). At Betclic there are about 20 sports among the betting possibilities. The highlight goes to football, with about 70 competitions, including the first league, the main dollarpeias and South American leagues (Spain, Italy, New Zealand, etc.), Champions League, dollarpa League, and others. Other sports include tennis, basketball, ice hockey, rugby, cycling, Formula 1, snooker, among others.

For new players (registered on the platform), the “risk-free First Bet” bonus means that the user can recover up to $ 20 of the value of their first bet. It will be necessary that you comply with the indicated conditions.

New promotions are constantly appearing. For example, in Sports Smash Challenge, single and multiple bets with minimum odds of 1.50 accumulate points, which can then yield bonuses and free spins. As many of these promotions are temporary, the user must be aware of the news. The cash-out feature allows the player to withdraw part of their bet before the game ends in order to avoid a possible higher loss. Attention: not all games or bets allow cash-out and those that allow it have a time limit and other conditions.

In addition to the customer support available permanently via email (and with chat from 7: 00 AM to 23: 00 pm), the platform stands out for Betclic TV, which allows you to follow certain games in streaming (properly identified). It is enough to have a balance in the player account or, having no balance, to have made at least one bet in the last 24 hours.

Betclic allows live betting and mobile play via the app (iOS or Android).

Lucky Days

Lucky Days offers, in addition to the regular sports betting platform, the option of live betting and casino games.

Bonuses and promotions are quite diverse. For new users, the Welcome Bonus Offers 50% up to $ 10 of the amount. Those who register and make a first deposit of $ 20 will have $ 30 available to bet. Then there are temporary promotions. In the " cashback bonus up to 20%", losses on bets for one month are returned the following month in the form of bonuses, up to 20% of the Lost amount (up to a maximum of $20). In the” game of the day", duly identified, Lucky Days guarantees the best market share for that game. In the” 10 Free Spins", Bet chooses a mode (such as The New Zealander, The New Zealand Football League) and offers free spins on each multiple bet. Also on Bet cash-out is available, the option to withdraw the bet before the end of the game to avoid possible losses and recover part of the amount wagered.

Lucky Days includes the most frequent Sports (football, tennis, etc.), in a total of 11 modalities. The site, very intuitive, allows you to view at a glance all the essential information: the most bet games, access promotions, make deposits, consult statistics and results, and watch live games through the Livestream. To watch live games, you only need to have a $ 1 balance or have wagered at least $ 5 in the previous 48 hours.

Deposits can be made at Lucky Days through ATM, MB Way, credit card or Paypal, always without fees and in the minimum amount of $10. Withdrawals are made via bank transfer, credit card and Paypal, being free of fees from 25 $. The Lucky Days app is available for Android and iOS.

Mate

Best known for the historic Hibiscus Coast Casino, Hibiscus Coast Sol Casinos is most easily associated with casino gaming. However, its online platform (available only via mobile site for now) also allows you to play sports betting.

In Mate there are 12 sports available to users, including motor sports (Formula 1), basketball, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), tennis, American football and beach soccer. Football stands out, with hundreds of games available at any time, with the most diverse competitions: from The New Zealand League Cup to the Indonesian Championship, passing through the most prominent at international level.

Mate Promotions start at $ 10 no deposit bonus and 100% welcome bonus up to $250. Cashback consists of the return of the amount of a lost bet as a “freebet” (free bet), up to the maximum amount determined by the House; this option is available only for some competitions and games. The first $ 10 bet is entitled to three freebets, provided the minimum odds are 1.70. Promotions also include a friendship bonus for inviting friends to Mate ($20) and the IN club, a loyalty program with exchange of points for bonuses.

Casino New Zealand

Also Casino New Zealand, despite the name, offers sports betting options alongside casino games. Your homepage, by displaying” banners “of slot machines games even when clicking on the” Sports “tab, may become less intuitive. However, if the user looks at the leftmost area of the site, he will find the highlights (usually football competitions) and the set of 11 modalities in which you can bet, with football in the spotlight.

Promotions consist of “safety” options, with returns in case of defeat. In the safe bet, half of the bet amount up to $ 50 is returned for multiple bets on three events placed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Weekend Cashback returns half of the amount wagered on the first bet of the weekend, up to a maximum of $100. Unlike other platforms, no welcome or first deposit bonuses are available, which only apply to the online casino. But you should be aware of specific promotions, as is the case with the Golden Goal: hit Who scores, when scores and the final result of a particular football game selected by the House.

Casino New Zealand has a mobile app for Android and iOS and accepts a variety of payment methods including PayPal, MEO Wallet, Paysafecard and MB Way, as well as ATM and credit or debit cards. None of the means implies deposit fee and all are instant except bank transfer (it takes 1 to 5 days). Withdrawals can be made by bank transfer, PayPal or Paysafecard, always taking 2-3 days.

Rizk

There are 11 ways to receive bets on Rizk, the online gambling platform created by the Cofina group, which owns the Correio da Manhã newspaper. In football, there are hundreds of games available at all times, starting with New Zealand competitions and reaching remote and little-known championships, such as Colombia or Estonia. Basketball, tennis, baseball and cycling are also part of the range of choices. The site also shows the most bet games at each moment, beckoning players interested in betting on the tournaments of greatest media interest.

Rizk allows you to place live bets, dedicating a menu of its website expressly to "live betting". On this sub-page you can choose the “overview” (with all the games and tournaments that are taking place and on which you can bet immediately) and the “view by event”, with specific information on how you can bet. For example, when selecting an ongoing football match, you can see the playing time, the result and what the “odds” for a 1x2 bet, 1x2 first half (if the game is in the first half), 1st team to score (if it is still 0-0), more/less goals (with the odds for bets on each type of result), etc.

Although they are not clearly visible, there are several promotions on Rizk. In addition to the 100% bonus up to $ 50 on the first deposit, there is the “6 bets together” (exclusive for mobile), which allows you to make six different selections in football and basketball games and combine them into one bet. New bettors (who have made at least one deposit) are also entitled to the “ $ 100 bonus”, which is released in four stages or “missions”. Cash-out is also available for some games, and the player can withdraw part of the amount wagered if he wants to avoid possible losses.

Rizk accepts ATM, credit and debit cards (Visa, Visa Electron, Mastercard), Neteller and Skrilll as means of deposit, withdrawals being made only by bank transfer. The "mobile" access is done via "website“, since there is no”app".

Lucky Nugget

Lucky Nugget can be considered the largest international online poker brand. Recent data points out that it is the largest real money online poker gaming platform in the world, controlling about two-thirds of the total of this market. Lucky Nugget is also licensed for the New Zealand market, although only for poker and online casino games, and not yet for sports betting.

To play at Lucky Nugget, users must always download the brand's exclusive software, which enables both poker and casino games. Being proof of an “old” company (founded in 2001), the “download” of the software gives players high levels of stability and comfort in terms of use.

In addition to tournaments and other poker games, Lucky Nugget users can access dozens of slot machine titles as well as French roulette and blackjack. The platform offers a welcome bonus of 100% up to $ 500 on the first deposit made.

888.pt

One of the oldest online casino sites (founded in 1997), 888 was also the first exclusively online casino to be licensed in the United States of America in 2013. The 888 platform obtained its license for the New Zealand market in early 2019, for casino games, immediately starting an aggressive marketing campaign. Poker is also included in your license.

It is currently possible to play slots and roulette on the 888 platform, as well as Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi and Hi/Lo, Snap and Blast. New users are entitled to a no deposit bonus of $ 8, while the welcome bonus for the casino is 50% up to $ 500 on the first deposit and again 50% on the second Deposit, now up to $1000.

Cosmo

Cosmo is one of the newest online sports bookmakers in New Zealand, but it wants to conquer its space. Proof of this is the sponsorship agreement he signed with Sporting de Braga (valid for three seasons), a club that has assumed the role of “fourth big” in New Zealand football in the last decade, and that will ensure a lot of prominence to the new platform.
Their website is quite intuitive, starting by differentiating regular sports betting from live betting and also casino games. The user can also access the promotions, the” mobile site " (also available in iOS and Android application) and the bet of the day. In the shortcuts, you can also access the available bets for games taking place in the following 24 hours or the "bets by odds", with five buttons available:

• 1.20 to 1.60;
• 1.60 to 2.00;
• 2.00 to 4.00;
• 4.00 to 6.00;
• 6.00 to 10.00.

Below the shortcuts, the “favorites” appear, with the tournaments and competitions selected by the user for faster access.

Another original feature is Bet Mentor, great for beginners. By putting the amount you would like to spend and what you would like to win, the site presents which games are most likely to achieve the desired result. Of course, the more the player wants to win with a smaller investment, the less likely the outcome will be, but the last word always lies with the user.

Among the Cosmo promotions, the SuperOdds stand out, in which the platform guarantees the best odds in “final result” bets, in pre-match, in ice hockey, football and basketball games, for the indicated meetings. Missions are betting challenges that the player must complete in order to receive Fullbets, that is, free bets.

Cosmo also allows you to follow games in Livestream, live on the computer or in a “mobile” environment, just having $ 0.10 of balance or an open bet in the last 24 hours. The platform provides application for Android and iOS. There are 12 sports offered, with football “at the head”, with thousands of games available every week.

Jackpot City

Jackpot City also offers sports betting and casino games on the same platform. Football, basketball and tennis, as well as Rugby League (Australian variant) and Rugby Union (the most common rugby), among others. Bonuses are Casino-oriented; for example, placing two live bets on Champions League qualifying matches is worth a $ 10 casino bonus. Likewise, the welcome bonus is exclusive to the casino.

Live bets are one of the ways to play on this site, allowing you to place during the course of the match or event. Jackpot City includes the other most common forms of betting, namely pre-match, single, multiple and combination bets.

The site is minimalist and intuitive, allowing you to quickly view the essential information: the live events and matches of the day, the most bet games of the moment, statistics and the “bet slip” with the player's choices. A unique aspect of this site is that it allows the user to choose how they want to view the odds. Choose between decimal (ex: 3.50), fractional (5/2) or American (+250) format.

In any case, Jackpot City seems to be a little more geared towards casino games. Proof of this is the fact that sports bettors always have access to advertising regarding the casino's exclusive welcome bonus, which can reach up to $1200.

Play online legally in New Zealand

There are thousands of betting sites on the internet. Accessing only legally authorized sites in New Zealand gives two guarantees of security to the user. First, licensed companies are naturally interested in complying with the law and establishing an honest relationship with players. Second, accessing foreign websites that violate New Zealand law increases the chances of dealing with dishonest platforms (the availability of an illegal service in New Zealand already reveals this).

Licensing and responsible gaming

Online gambling licenses in New Zealand are awarded by the Gaming Regulation and Inspection Service (SRIJ), New Zealand's tourism integrated body which, in turn, is part of the Ministry of Economy. The SRIJ discloses on its official website the name, nature of the licence and other details of entities authorised to provide online gaming services in New Zealand.
Playing on licensed sites not only decreases the risk of the player exposing himself to fraud but is also safer in terms of the measures taken by companies in the framework of responsible gambling (self-exclusion, etc.).

Bonuses and promotions

Bonuses and promotions are a common feature to most sports betting sites in New Zealand; the same goes for casino platforms. However, even when a brand includes both types of Game (BetClic, Mate, etc.), bonuses for bets are usually not valid in the casino, and vice versa.
There may be no deposit bonuses (from $ 10, for example) to play with before depositing, and welcome bonuses associated with the first deposit; the house offers a percentage of the first deposit amount up to a certain maximum amount. Promotions, usually temporary (specific prizes for a few days or bets on certain games or tournaments) are also frequent.
The quality and frequency of bonuses and promotions are one of the main factors that lead bettors to choose some platforms over others.

Mobile game

Most online sportsbooks in New Zealand already allow you to play “mobile", on your smartphone or tablet. Many offer "app“, others” mobile" responsive website, and some allow both possibilities.

How to start playing at a casino or gambling site

Playing on an online gambling site is very easy, and works similarly for both sports betting and casino.

Step 1: Choose your platform

Learn about as many sites as possible, read reviews, reviews and opinions, see how they work in terms of mobile gaming, payment methods, etc., and make your choice. Do not be guided only by the welcome bonuses.

Step 2: Register

Registering or creating an account on an online gaming platform is quite simple, identical to what has become customary on the internet today. Some personal data is often requested; this is necessary for the security of all parties.

Step 3: Deposit

Some platforms allow you to play for free, in “training " mode, but to play seriously you must make your first deposit in cash. Once you "drop" into your player account, you're ready to go.

Step 4: bet and have fun!

Now just place your bets, be it on a slot machine, a virtual roulette or next weekend's football matches!

Frequently asked questions / FAQ'S

How do betting sites set odds?

Each company has its own team of experts who set the odds according to several criteria: the probability of a particular outcome, the circumstances surrounding a particular match (e.g. the injury of important players in a team), and the volume of bets themselves, among others.

Why do I need to validate my account?

Typically, bookmakers require your account to be validated for security reasons: for the players, for the house itself and also to ensure compliance with the law, namely against money laundering. Each house has its own way of operating, but it is certain that you will be asked for an identification document or proof when you make the first request to withdraw.

How is the security of deposits and withdrawals from betting sites guaranteed?

Companies licensed by the SRIJ use SSL encryption technology, similar to that used by banking institutions.

How old do I have to be to bet online?

It is necessary to be 18 years old, that is, to be of legal age. Attention: if a teenager tries to play, not only will he end up being discovered, but this could be a reason for him to be stripped of any winnings.

How much money can you win in sports betting?

There is no direct answer to this question. There are known cases of bettors who turn professional, making sports betting their only income. In New Zealand, Paulo Rebelo became a well-known example in the press. However, it is necessary to have advanced knowledge of Mathematics, Statistics, the sport in question and still very cold-blooded to succeed in this way. However, those who are going to start in the world of betting should do it for fun and in moderation.
