New Zealand proposes to limit online casino licenses, ban gambling ads aimed at children

2024-11-17  Per Henrikson

New Zealand unveiled on Wednesday a proposal to limit the number of licenses for online casino operators, require them to set up an age verification system, and ban advertisements aimed at children, as it looks to regulate the fast-growing sector. Offenders will be fined up to NZ$5 million ($3 million), with the new regulatory system expected to be in place from early 2026, Internal Affairs Minister Brooke van Velden said.
